I totally get why that feels unsatisfying! The current implementation demands the boxes to be stacked neatly in roughly a straight line, which could have been elaborated on further.
Thanks for playing and I hope you were still able to have an enjoyable experience despite that scenario!
Viewing post in CUBES. Not a fuss, right? comments
Yes! That was some short-sightedness on our part. Our goal was for the player to explore and discover some of the more niche rules on their own. Levels like this one were an attempt to make the player stumble onto them naturally.
You are certainly right that we could have communicated this more effectively.
Thanks for your feedback!
