Through Passion for Puzzles, I came across a new puzzle game called cubeoban. The game involves sliding colored blocks around to match a specific pattern. The blocks slide as far as they can in a given direction until they reach an obstacle. In this way, it’s similar to Orbox, but here you control multiple objects.
Cubilus seems to be a cubeoban clone, right down to identical level layouts. The only difference is that each colored block has a unique shape in the middle. Passion for Puzzles suggests that it’s cubeoban for the color blind.
[...] I’m posting this today, because I found a new transport puzzle called Silversphere on FreeGamesNews. But a number of other cames that I’ve posted about here fall under the category of transport puzzles. Cubeoban is certainly a transport puzzle and Sling probably counts too. CuberXtreme seems to be what the Wikipedia article calls an Elimination Puzzle. Orbox B is probably a transport puzzle. Even though some objects are destroyed and cleared, the object is to move from one place to another. Mindfields 2204 is very much like a transport puzzle but tokens are placed on the field, which I think would preclude it from the category in the strictest sense.
