Captain Cubemelon & Friends: The Glitch Blocks

Six worlds. Six rules. Fourteen little glitches that are about to change everything.

Portal Park is finally safe. Captain Cubemelon and his friends have linked six worlds and earned six rules, and they have earned a rest. Then fourteen small black-and-green blocks begin to flicker between the worlds, quietly changing which door goes where.

Drip...

The orchard keeps saving itself wrong, and only one small change tells them why.

In the sunlit green hills, a glitch is hiding in the trees. Every time the team thinks they’re safe, the orchard “saves” them back to the very same tree, with one tiny detail changed each time. A different branch. A wrong shadow. A path that wasn’t there before.

To...

To reach the space between worlds, the team has to cross a bridge that splits apart as they step, one lane racing ahead, one dragging behind, one frozen solid. Run, and it drops you. Freeze, and it drifts away. No one can cross it alone.

Moss Guard has spent his whole life learning to stand...

This is what everything was for.

The last four glitches have drawn together near the locked arch, building one impossible bridge, and the only way across is for the whole team to do it together, each one holding a piece no one else can. Captain links the route. Moss guards it. Ember times it. Patch translates, Drip records, Pip listens, Brick...
