Take apart the cube: block by block.

This brain-teasing puzzle drops you into a virtual 3D cube made of stacked blocks. Your goal is straightforward: remove each block one at a time until only the base remains. But there’s a catch—every extraction affects the structure’s balance. Pull the wrong block, and the whole tower may wobble or collapse, ending your run. Success depends on keen observation and foresight. You’ll need to study the cube from every angle, identify which blocks are load-bearing, and plan a safe removal sequence. As the cube shrinks, the challenge intensifies, rewarding players who think several steps ahead. It’s a satisfying workout for your spatial awareness and problem-solving skills, all wrapped in a clean, minimalist design.
