Characters
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.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:
“The Nature of Familiar Letters, written, as it were, to the Moment, while the Heart is agitated by Hopes and Fears, on Events undecided, must plead an Excuse for the Bulk of a Collection of this Kind. Mere Facts and Characters might be comprised in a much smaller Compass: But, would they be equally interesting?”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“Of all the characters I have known, perhaps Walden wears best, and best preserves its purity. Many men have been likened to it, but few deserve that honor. Though the woodchoppers have laid bare first this shore and then that, and the Irish have built their sties by it, and the railroad has infringed on its border, and the ice-men have skimmed it once, it is itself unchanged, the same water which my youthful eyes fell on; all the change is in me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“What makes literature interesting is that it does not survive its translation. The characters in a novel are made out of the sentences. That’s what their substance is.”
—Jonathan Miller (b. 1936)
