Calamari Cubes 2: Pipeline to Hell

About this game

Calamari Cubes 2 is a platformer game with generally good production values but the game itself is not great. The goal of each level is to repair all of the pipes so that the crates can be teleported back to somewhere, or something. Its a little confusing and the controls are not super intuitive but at least theres in-game instructions (press I just after the title screen).Calamari Cubes 2: Pipeline to Hell is a DOS-based action-puzzle game and the sequel to the original Calamari Cubes. It combines elements of puzzle-solving with fast-paced action, offering a unique and fun gameplay experience where players must navigate a world full of obstacles and enemies while solving challenging puzzles.
