THE ART OF CROSSING

One rod. A new possibility.

Your island is every jade cube joined by copper rods. You can walk freely across that island.

  1. Lift a reachable rod toward either end. You stay on that end’s island, carrying the rod.
  2. Place it into a glowing dashed gap. Its length must match. You can carry it across all rods still connected to you.
  3. Reach the gold cube. The destination must join your island. Only placements count as moves.

Rods cannot cross, pass through a cube, or stretch. A lifted rod may be put back where it came from.

Tap a cube to inspect it. Use the buttons beside the board to lift or place, or click the small lift dots on rods and the glowing gaps. Tab and Enter operate every control. U undoes, H suggests a move, Escape closes this guide.

The first crossing: lift rod A toward cube 2, place between 2–3, and repeat toward the gold cube.
