Cube – Pick up the Blue Squares- Puzzle Game
Cube
Roll the cube around the grid, picking up the blue squares on its faces. Try to get all the blue squares on to the object at the same time, in as few moves as possible.
Use the arrow keys to roll the cube, or click the mouse where you want it to roll towards. After every roll, the grid square and cube face that you brought into contact swap their colours, so that a non-blue cube face can pick up a blue square, but a blue face rolled on to a non-blue square puts it down again.
You have a grid of 16 squares, six of which are blue; on one square rests a cube. Your move is to use the arrow keys to roll the cube through 90 degrees so that it moves to an adjacent square. If you roll the cube on to a blue square, the blue square is picked up on one face of the cube; if you roll a blue face of the cube on to a non-blue square, the blueness is put down again. (In general, whenever you roll the cube, the two faces that come into contact swap colours.) Your job is to get all six blue squares on to the six faces of the cube at the same time. Count your moves and try to do it in as few as possible.
