Lift a Cube WikiLift a Cube Arms
Arms are the push-up speed gear in Lift a Cube: every arm sets how many seconds one push-up takes, and the developer has not published arm names or prices. Ratings below describe relative throughput observed in gameplay; the calculator accepts any push-up time so you can enter your own.

Arm tiers
| Tier | Arm | Role |
|---|---|---|
| C | Starter arms | Base push-up rate everyone starts with |
| B | Early arms | First affordable push-up time cut — buy within minutes of spawning |
| B | Mid arms | Faster reps; pair with Uncommon/Rare material rolls |
| A | Late arms | Large push-up time cut, needed to move past mid-map cubes |
| S | Endgame arms | Highest confirmed push-up rate; required for the hundreds-of-millions cubes |
Ratings are relative — the developer has not published arm names or prices.
Observed push-up times
| Stage | Push-up time | ≈ Strength/sec at 1× multiplier | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter arms | 1s | 1.00 | estimated |
| First push-up time upgrade | 0.85s | 1.18 | observed-approx |
| Mid upgrade | 0.6s | 1.67 | observed-approx |
| Late upgrade | 0.5s | 2.00 | observed-approx |
A material multiplier scales the third column directly: a 1.5× Common at 0.6s per rep is ≈2.5 strength/sec. Push-up time upgrades stack with arms — both cut the seconds per rep.
How to get better arms
Arms are bought with Cash at upgrade stations along the map — each zone sells stronger tiers, so walking outward unlocks the shop. Buy order matters: push-up time upgrades first, then the next arm tier, then your next material roll. Full tier ranking on the tier list.
Arms FAQ
What do arms do in Lift a Cube?
Arms set your push-up speed — the seconds each push-up takes. Faster arms mean more push-ups per minute, which multiplies into more strength per second at the training station.
Should I buy arms or roll materials first?
Early on, buy the cheap push-up time and arm upgrades first — they compound with every future roll. Once a chest tier costs more than your next arm upgrade, split Cash between luck rolls and arms.
