• Cubic Conundrum- Dev Log 15: "The Tower Of Chess Boards"
  February 20, 2026 by Gravity Pollution Studios#puzzle, #maze, #controller, #single player, #minimalism

  To save space in the final file, I have multiple puzzles in the same room. Each puzzle starts out as a full 8x10 grid of cubes, but is "whittled down" during the game design phase. Once the room is lo... Continue reading

  February 18, 2026 by Gravity Pollution Studios#puzzle, #maze, #controller, #unreal, #minimalism

  The final Conundrum Cube was not actually part of the original plan for the game. The Prism Cubes came later, after I realized that the Vortex Cube (seen in an earlier video) was just too chaotic to b... Continue reading

  February 11, 2026 by Gravity Pollution Studios#puzzle, #maze, #controller, #single player, #multiplayer, #unreal, #minimalism

• Cubic Conundrum- Dev Log: 10 Vortex Cubes
  February 08, 2026 by Gravity Pollution Studios#puzzle, #maze, #single player, #multiplayer, #unreal, #minimalism, #controller

  Vortex Cubes function similarly to Wormhole, but without the predictability of a paired exit. Enter the vortex and the system chooses a random cube to spit you out at. Honestly, these might be the har... Continue reading
• Cubic Conundrum- Dev Log 9: Regrowth Cubes
  February 07, 2026 by Gravity Pollution Studios

  In a game where the objective is to delete all the cubes in the puzzle, the Regrowth Cubes are the ultimate FU. When you step on one of these mystical cubes of life and rebirth, the last 4 cubes you d... Continue reading

  February 01, 2026 by Gravity Pollution Studios#puzzle, #maze, #single player, #multiplayer, #minimalism, #unreal

  I've begun working the "Conundrum Cubes" that make the puzzle more challenging. The basic idea of Cubic Conundrum is to maneuver your piece around the maze, deleting al the cubes without being able to... Continue reading
• Cubic Conundrum- Dev Log 5: Auto board set up
  January 31, 2026 by Gravity Pollution Studios#puzzle, #multiplayer, #single player, #controller, #maze, #minimalism

  January 26, 2026 by Gravity Pollution Studios#puzzle, #maze, #minimalism, #controller, #single player, #multiplayer

  January 24, 2026 by Gravity Pollution Studios#puzzle, #minimalism, #controller, #maze, #single player, #multiplayer

  At the end of day 2. Set up basic 2 player controls. It looks a little weird because I'm trying to control both pieces at the same time (one hand on my keyboard, the other on a controller). I had a lo... Continue reading
