WINNER: IGF China award for BEST GAME!
Cubetractor is a neo-retro hybrid action-strategy-puzzle game where you defeat your enemies by shooting cubes and building turrets.
The game combines elements of reverse tower defence and bullet-hell dodger to deliver a unique gameplay experience, presented in a classic top-down perspective.

You play as Endroi, a menacing and cheerful quadrubot, who strives to master the art of Cubetracting. It's a deceptively simple skill that calls for dexterity, keen awareness, versatility and tactical positioning. You'll have to strategise, problem-solve and fight your way through a multitude of enemy installations to reach your coveted goal.

Features

Over 40 maps to shoot, crush and build: Levels carefully designed to bring out the emerging dynamics of a unique mechanic.
Symmetrical balance: Why do the bad guys always have to be stronger than you? In Cubetractor, enemy structures are exactly the same as yours, except that they arrived first. Defeating them is a question of timing and positioning.

A purely independent game: Made by two people, living off their savings and working in random cafes.

Hardcore prizes for hardcore players: The main levels are designed for speedruns. Collect all the batteries, reach the final goal in a very short time and do it all without a scratch to get the most coveted rewards. Don't worry, there are also options for those of us who are more human.
