To clear Level 36 in CubeAway, rotate the camera around the outer perimeter to remove unobstructed boundary arrows before touching the dense center. The core consists of intertwined pink and white chains that snake downward through the puzzle. These central chains cannot move until you open clear exit corridors along the exterior edges.
Step-by-Step Level 36 Clearing Order
The stage is structured into an exterior shell and an intertwined interior spine. Progress flows strictly from outside to inside.
| Section | Arrow Direction | Initial Status | Clearing Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Corner Anchors | Pointing outward into open space | Available immediately | Tap after rotating to verify an open exit vector |
| Flank Edges | Facing parallel along open borders | Dependent on corners | Clears once neighboring corner pieces fly away |
| Pink Central Snake | Weaving horizontally across the core | Blocked at start | Requires lateral exterior corridors to be empty |
| White Central Snake | Snaking downward through the spine | Blocked at start | Requires the base and pink cross-sections to clear |
Follow this clearing sequence to prevent move collisions:
- Rotate across all six sides: Inspect the outer edges of the 3D grid. Locate corner cubes that point straight out into empty space without crossing any adjacent pieces.
- Clear the outward-facing boundary blocks: Tap the isolated perimeter arrows to remove the outer frame. Removing these pieces creates the empty space needed for interior blocks to exit.
- Trace the secondary flank rows: With the true corners gone, tap the perimeter arrows that run parallel along the outer edges to finish peeling the outer shell.
- Locate the lead arrow of the pink path: Identify the single arrow in the pink chain whose line of sight points into the newly cleared exterior space. Tap it to expose the next arrow behind it.
- Alternate between pink and white chains: Work backward from head to tail. Releasing two or three pink blocks often opens an escape vector for the white chain's turn. Switch to the white chain as soon as its forward arrow is unobstructed.
- Clear the remaining interior tails: Once the snaking paths unwind to their starting points, remove the final interior tail blocks.
Preventing Trajectory Collisions and Deadlocks
Level 36 creates visual overlaps where an interior arrow appears free from an isometric angle, but its straight-line exit path is blocked by a recessed cube on the far side.
- Rotate 90 degrees before tapping inside: Tilt the camera vertically and turn it horizontally to verify that the arrow's flight path has clear space across the entire board. If another cube sits within its straight trajectory, the block will collide and fail.
- Never tap the middle of a chain: Arrow paths in Level 36 operate strictly sequentially. Each block's tail sits directly against the point of the arrow behind it, meaning a mid-chain block will always collide with the arrow ahead of it.
- Avoid symmetrical clearing: The pink and white snakes are directionally asymmetrical. Clearing both sides evenly tends to pin the terminal turns against each other. Always prioritize whichever color has its forward lead block actively exposed.
