So if the player has ten rows remaining, the player is awarded with 10,000 Points.

The player can capture mulitple blocks at one time, allowing for a higher score. By carefully capturing these blocks and detonating them at the right time. Multiple advantage cubes can be captured but all of the advantage markers can only be detonated at the same time as well. By tapping the Triangle button, the green marker detonates and captures all the blocks within the 3x3 area. When one of these blocks are captured, it leaves a green marker in its place. Advantage Cube - This bright green block can help the player capture the blocks more efficiently and quickly.This block can vary in color depending on the level but its behavior is no different. If the number of the basic blocks exceed the limit, the player would lose the last row of blocks. Should any of these blocks fall off the platform, the player would lose a mark on the "Block Count". To progress further in the game the player must capture all of these blocks. Basic Cube - The most basic block that can be found in all the levels.There are three types of blocks to encounter. Varying speeds that the blocks move at, more blocks to capture but more importantly different types of blocks that can help or hinder the player.

The Blocks Blocks!Īlthough the basic gameplay is rather simple, Intelligent Qube makes it more complex by layering different mechanics on top of each other. This is explained in greater detail in the next section. Only one marker can be placed at a time.Īnother method of capturing cubes is by detonating green markers by capturing the "Advantage Cube". Once captured, the cube is removed from the playing field. When a cube rolls on top of the marker the player can capture the cube by tapping the X button again. This lays down a blue marker on the square that the player is standing on. The most basic method of capturing a cube is by tapping the X button. There are ten levels in the game, each level consisting of four sets of blocks to capture. The goal of the game is to "capture" certain blocks whilst avoid being crushed by the blocks themselves. Gameplay consists of the player controlling the character known as Eliot, on a long platform as cubes roll towards the player. It was both published and developed by Sony Computer Entertainment. Intelligent Qube, sometimes abbreviated as "I.Q." (also known as Kurushi in Europe and Australia) is a puzzle game released on the PS1 in 1997.
