OHNO! LYLE'S KITTY HAS BEEN STOLENED |
 |
Lyle In Cube Sector is a freeware Metroidvania made in 2006 that plays like a cross between Super Metroid and Super Mario Bros. 2. You work with cubes. With the right upgrades, you can throw them at enemies, use them to propel yourself higher, and make them materialize in your hands. You must use these abilities skillfully in the cube sector to find your cat.
