Cubis Reviews

Incredible game, just play it.

Really great game play, but I do have some issues. Firstly way to many flashing neon colors. It makes it very hard to keep track of which side of the cube is where when every thing is flashing neon colors. Secondly the permadeath is just as annoying as every other game that thought it was a good idea. also the enemies are constantly moving, and shooting which gives this game more of a shoot them up feeling then a puzzle feel. that and the permadeath makes this game feel much more like a shooter, with some puzzle elements, instead of a puzzle with shooter elements. I would suggest making the enemies move with you. for example if you move one square then the enemies can move one square as well. that way the player is encourage to figure out the best ways to rotate instead of just randomly rolling around shooting things. I really like the gameplay, and if I could make one change it would be the colors. Not everything needs to be flashing strobe lights of neon.

TLDR: If you just want a gameplay video of the first 2 worlds (18 levels) then skip to the bottom of the review. This game sort of plays like a fever dream. Lots of flashing lights with your rolling cube frantically rocking around. In order to fight your enemies you must charge your power by planting your red side down. Once you've gained some energy turn your cube cannon's red side to the enemy and blast em! Seems pretty simple at first until the game introduces enemy generators. Now the blue side of your cube makes sense! You must orientate your cube's blue side to seal the enemies portals with its mystifying powers. I'm not quite sure how many levels there are, but from the screenshots shown there are at least 8 "worlds" worth of levels minimum. which means 9 levels per world and 1 boss per world. The bosses I fought were pretty unique to say the least. This is 100% a game you need to experience rather than watch as it just plays like a fever dream. Just don't play if you're photosensitive or prone to light-seizures, even my eyeballs were strained a bit by the game. Contains the first two bosses. https://youtu.be/O3ie3MHCm4c
