The game's pretty challenging - especially with a touchpad - but a few times I did manage to block off the exit completely.
I'm on a 16:10 monitor so the text on the sides was cut off - if anybody else isn't on a 16:9 monitor, I'd recommend reading it beforehand.
This was pretty fun and very technically impressive. It's a nice mashup of tower defense and puzzle games!
Kudos for the linux binary though, and it's a pretty clever idea!
The game does stop you from placing walls that block cubes from finishing, but I coded it quickly before submitting the game, so it probably has some major flaws. I know that it doesn't take the entrance into account, so you can block the entrance, and then no cubes can solve the maze, or if there are no cubes in the maze you can block the exit.
The input was a bit awkward though. Mouse picking would have been better.
