Two cubes, two sets of keys, and a level that only gives way when both cooperate. In Push The Cubes the first cube slides up and down while the second slides left and right, and the trick is that each one can shove the other into a new direction.
That split control makes every stage a small planning exercise. You will often need to park one cube in the right spot so the other can bump it where you want. The game is set in 3D and offers touch support, though the keyboard layout is clearly the main design, so a computer is the comfortable choice. If a plan collapses, a quick restart costs you nothing.

Yes. Push The Cubes is free to play in your browser, with no download and no sign-up needed.
W and S or the Up and Down arrows move the first cube. A and D or the Left and Right arrows move the second. R restarts, Escape opens the menu.
Each cube is limited to one axis, but one can shove the other, which lets you redirect a cube along a path it could not travel alone.
