 The player, named "Aon", is tasked with rescuing all the trapped animals, traveling aboard a "flying ark" and armed with the "ZooCube".According to Nalin Sharma, the designer of "ZooCube" and CEO of PuzzleKings, he came up with the idea for "ZooCube" around 1996, while working for PA Consulting Group as a principal consultant.He was imagining how, "some thing or someone could survive if they were bombarded by lots of objects", which inspired some rough sketches that featured a cube as a central object.
