For CubeAway levels 1–15, check each arrow’s route before removing a piece. If another cube blocks the route, rotate the puzzle to inspect it from another angle and identify what needs to move first.
Check routes before removing cubes
The game’s arrow directions determine the removal sequence. Look for pieces whose routes are unobstructed, and remove those before attempting blocked pieces. When a move does not work, treat the obstruction as a clue: find the cube blocking the route and check whether its own path is clear.
Rotate to inspect blocked pieces
A route that looks blocked from one view may be easier to assess from another. Rotate the puzzle when you cannot tell which piece is obstructing an arrow, then recheck the route before making your next move.
Use this sequence as you work through the stages:
- Inspect the arrows and identify routes that appear clear.
- Remove a piece only when its route is open.
- If a route is blocked, rotate the puzzle and identify the obstructing cube.
- Clear the obstruction if its route is open, then reassess the blocked piece.
The supplied material does not establish a single edge-first or bottom-up rule for every level. Base each removal on the arrow route you can verify, rather than assuming the same order will work across all 15 stages.
