Q’Bicles
Q’Bicles is a logic puzzle game where you play in the role of an office
manager. The CEO provides you with a list of goals for the office, and you are
tasked to solving it in the most effective manner possible.
Goals:
* Distance: two objects must be a specific distance away from one another.
* Path: two objects must have a clear path through empty spaces to one another.
* Quota (Construction Mode only): there must be a specific number of pieces on the board.
Special Rules/Objects
* Pinned Pieces: these are pieces that are pinned to the floor layout and cannot be moved.
* Obstacles: some pieces like plants and pillars do not allow paths through their tile, while other object types (like water coolers) do not obstruct any path.
Q’Bicles has two modes of play, Puzzle and Construction. The major game rules
are fundamentally similar, however the goal of each mode is slightly
different.
In puzzle mode, the game pieces are already arranged on the layout, and the
player is responsible for ‘fixing’ the layout in the smallest number of moves
possible. In harder difficulty levels, a limit on the number of moves is also
imposed.
In construction mode, the board is empty (aside of any pinned pieces), and the
player is given a queue of items that they can add to the level. This mode
allows for more free-form solutions, and the player is rewarded for going
above and beyond the requirements of the office. An especially high score will
be rewarded with the “Employee Of The Month” award.
