A very original kind of world after the flat and spherical ones! I like 
it a lot. It would need a special kind of gravity also to keep the seas 
and oceans in place :) Makes me try to imagine what it would be to live 
there...

The starry background is bewildering.

Would the sun also be a cube; and how would that affect the shadows??
