To clear Level 133 in CubeAway, dismantle the cluster from the outside in by tapping unobstructed perimeter cubes before touching the center. Rotating the 3D puzzle frequently reveals exposed arrows pointing safely into open space. Removing outward-facing cubes first relieves pressure on interlocking rows and opens flight corridors for trapped interior blocks.
Step 1: Clear the Outer Perimeter
Opening moves in Level 133 require targeting corner and edge pieces whose arrows point directly away from the formation. These blocks have clear flight paths and can exit without colliding with adjacent cubes.
Follow this sequence to clear the perimeter:
- Rotate the cube along both axes: Inspect all sides to map which arrows point outward into open air rather than into another block.
- Tap outer corner pieces first: Corner blocks pointing outward have zero obstructions along their flight vector.
- Remove external flat-face blocks: Tap cubes on the outer planes that point away from the core to expose the next layer.
- Rotate after every two taps: Removing even one block changes the spatial layout and can immediately open an exit path for an adjacent piece.
Avoid tapping cubes wedged between parallel rows during this opening phase, as their arrows face into neighboring blocks.
Step 2: Unlock the Interlocking Middle Layer
Once the outer shell is removed, the remaining middle layer consists of mutually blocking pieces. A block cannot slide free until the piece directly in its trajectory is cleared.
To resolve these dependencies, trace the flight path of an obstructed arrow forward to identify the specific cube blocking it. Level 133 relies on keystone blocks along the flanks that hold multiple interior pieces in place. Tapping that single unblocked keystone cube triggers an exit corridor, letting you clear the previously trapped blocks in sequence.
| Block Position | Arrow Trajectory | Clearing Priority | Action Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outer Edge / Corner | Directly outward into open air | Phase 1 (Immediate) | Tap first to establish sightlines |
| Exterior Flat Face | Parallel to surface, unobstructed | Phase 1 (Immediate) | Clear to expose core arrow directions |
| Middle Sub-Layer | Pointing toward cleared outer space | Phase 2 (Sequential) | Tap once outer blocker is removed |
| Central Core | Pointing into interlocking rows | Phase 3 (Final) | Hold until adjacent corridors are vacant |
Step 3: Dismantle the Central Core
The final phase leaves a small cluster of tightly grouped blocks. When horizontal moves appear exhausted, reorient the camera to extreme top-down and bottom-up angles.
The central blocks in Level 133 frequently feature vertical arrows pointing directly up or down. Because horizontal rotation is more common during play, vertical paths are easy to overlook. Tapping cubes with clear vertical trajectories breaks the remaining cluster and frees the final horizontal blocks to disperse.
Avoiding Collisions and Misaligned Taps
Tapping an obstructed cube causes a collision animation that halts your rhythm. In 3D perspective, an arrow can look clear from an angle while its path actually clips an adjacent block. Align your camera directly perpendicular to the face of the cube before tapping to verify that the flight vector has complete clearance. If no moves are visible, perform a full rotation across both axes to locate the open corridor.

This guide answered the exact question I had.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
Good guide for CubeAway players. The strategy part was useful.
The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
