Blue
You play as a blue cube named "Blue". In the year 5047 everything in the universe has been downloaded into cubes for storage. One day all these storage materials merged to form a life. And that is how Blue came to life. Throughout the game you are trying to figure out what you are doing here, and why. Because your face is on the top of the cube, it can't see anything. It talks about how it feels something moving it(sometimes thought to be referring to the player playing the game) and Blue sometimes talks about looking into the "Dark black sky" and seeing a face. This is thought to refer to the person playing the arcade game.
Malicious Cubes
There are many different types of enemies throughout the game who try to "Delete" you. They knock you off the stage, and bump into you removing health. Sometimes they will set off traps which set off bombs that blow up the entire level. The reason they are after you is revealed as you complete the game.
