Cube27 Demo

Cube27 is an interesting 3D puzzle game in which you have to remove a number of cubes from a rigid structure in a defined amount of time. It’s like Mahjong but with only numbers and a lot more complicated to solve.

In Cube27, at the start of each level, you get a rigid structure that contains a number of cubes with different colors and numbers written on them. Your goal is to match those cubes and in doing so, they are removed from the ‘board’. Once none are left, the level is won and you can proceed to the next one.

The puzzle can be rotated any which way you want, there is a zoom in and zoom out function to get a better picture of what’s going on and cubes are selected just by clicking on them. In terms of gameplay, it’s very easy to understand and master but it’s not as easy as it looks.

Not only do you have to complete a puzzle in a specific amount of time but you never know how the cubes are actually positioned inside the initial shape. With Cube27, what you see is never what you get, there is always more underneath the layer of cubes which you initially get.

In Cube27 there are various powerups that can be used. They can stop the countdown timer, remove solid cubes, find and match two cubes and another that destroys a big portion of the solid cubes.

Although these really do make things easier, they are mostly implemented to allow other mechanics into the game. Some levels get a bit more complicated with the presence of glitches and viruses. A glitched solid cube restricts access to its surrounding cubes. Viruses appear and infect the cubes in their proximity and if you don’t take care of them as fast as possible, the virus might spread beyond your control.

To sum things up, Cube27 is a really good puzzle game to have. It’s easy to play and understand, which makes it accessible to players of all ages, and most of all, it actually provides a series of challenges that get increasingly tough.

The game is still in the works but you can grab the demo, try it out and if you get positive vibes, don’t hesitate to drop by the Cube27 Greenlight page to show your support.
