About Gobo Desert of Cubes
Gobo and the Desert of Cubes is a side-scrolling 2D platformer with emphasis on puzzle elements. You need to help Gobo reach the exit door and escape the Desert. You do that by manipulating monsters which in return activate or deactivate boxes on the level, which are used as a platform or an obstacle.
