Fallen Cube

You know what would be a great idea, making a physics game but the physics are random each time thus you usually have to repeat the same level multiple times, even if you get it right, and pray the physics are on your side.

bad so bad bad bad

*Fallen Cube*, developed and published by WRD, is a minimalist puzzle game that strips its design down to a single mechanical idea and builds an entire experience around it. At first glance, its simplicity is almost disarming—there are no elaborate systems, no narrative context, and no visual distractions. Instead, it presents a clean, abstract challenge where the objective is immediately clear: guide a cube to its destination by carefully removing obstacles in its path. This clarity makes it easy to approach, but it also sets expectations that the game struggles to expand upon over time. The core mechanic revolves around limited actions. Each level gives you a set number of moves, which can be used to remove blocks that obstruct the cube’s route. The puzzle lies in determining the correct sequence of removals so that the cube can fall or move toward its goal without becoming stuck. Early levels function as simple demonstrations of this idea, allowing players to understand how the system works with little resistance. As the game progresses, the layouts become more restrictive, requiring more precise planning and occasionally forcing players to think a few steps ahead. In these mom…

Fallen Cube is a mobile-app like minimalist low poly physics puzzle game, the type that's been done to death repeatedly. You click on a variety of blocks to eliminate them, which then causes the blocks to fall (like a bad game of Jenga or a dumbed down Angry Birds) to cause a target block to fall and land on a goal. Yawn. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. The game features lazy low-polygon "retro" assets, making this look like a barely functional 3D game from the 1990s. It's unclear why the developers weren't able to arrange high quality, high polygon count contemporary assets for the game, and also irrelevant... what matters is that this looks bad as a result of their decisions, a compromise PC gamers shouldn't have to put up with. This looks and feels like a mobile app, but I wasn't able to find it on the app stores. Maybe it was removed, maybe it was rejected by Apple and Google (they do have more rigorous quality standards than Valve does for Steam, after all). Regardless, for all intents and purposes this is a mobile app, it has the same limitations and dumbed down qualities. It's imp…
