Lyle in Cube Sector

[dewhi100]

Lyle In Cube Sector is a classic byte-sized metroidvania from 2006, before that kind of thing was mainstream.
Help Lyle learn cube-based powers and navigate the titular Cube Sector on a quest to retrieve his stolen kitty.
As an indie game before the indie boom, this game never got a lot of press. But it's a solid game and interesting historically as well.
Playtime: 4-6 hours.

"But what about Cave Story!?!?"

That, my friends, was what we in the business call a "Wonderboyfriend"
