What’s New

This playtest update introduces several quality of life improvements along with a number of fixes and optimizations.

New Features

Camera Orbit

You can now rotate the camera around the puzzle using the Q and R keys, making it easier to view the board from the angle that works best for you.

Restore Cube Orientation

After falling from the board, the cube now returns with its previous orientation intact. This makes retries feel more consistent and removes the need to mentally reset after an accidental fall.

Tile Messages

Tiles can now display contextual messages when you land on them. These tips are used to introduce new mechanics, provide hints, and communicate important gameplay information as you progress.
