Special Cubes



Blue Portals features a wide arrangement of cubes for the player to use, each one with a special function. Currently, there are only six cubes, but more may show up in the future (that's not a promise, it's a maybe).

Basic Cube: The basic cube is, well... Basic. It's just a common cube with no special functions added to it. It's used to press buttons and that is it.

No-Fizzle Cube: The no-fizzle cube is a new cube that's almost impossible to destroy. The normal cubes will die if passed through an emancipation field, but thanks to a special paint coating and a microchip implanted on each side, the no-fizzle cube won't die if passed through. But, if dropped in electrified water, it will be destroyed, as the electricity will short circuit the chip and leave the cube for dead (in a matter of speaking).

Activator Cube: The activator cube is a new cube that activates things on its death, as long as it's thrown into a Destruction Magnet. It's first seen in the last Training Chamber in the first two rooms.

Ice Cube: The ice cube is a new cube whose body is made from snow tightly packed into a glass box, then with the external plating layered onto it. The glass and metal is set to destroy if the snow inside is to melt. It can be melted by Fire Cubes and Light Beams.

Fire Cube: The fire cube is a new cube which contains a set of heated rods in the center. It also has flame-shaped transparent windows on it so that the glowing orange of the metal rods can shine through, showing how hot the cube is. Also to insulate the heat from the player, the outside of the cube is layered with asphalt, then glazed to keep it shiny and fresh. The fire cube can be used to destroy ice cubes and is first seen in the second Training Chamber. But, it's also able to die. If dropped in water, the water will seep through the windows, cooling the rods and destroying the cube, and the same if a Faucet is activated to pour onto it.

Clock Cube: The clock cube is a new cube that is exclusive to the Time Trial bonus maps. It's essentially a basic cube, but only works on certain buttons and Box Catchers.
