Crisp Cube

[b]Crisp Cube succeeds as a faithful recreation of one of gaming's most forgotten puzzle games. As-is, it's rough around the edges but definitely has the Kurushi spirit keeping it together. It feels and plays great, it's just very limiting in what it offers.[/b] + faithful gameplay + low-tech means it runs great + soundtrack is nice, if simple + lots of replayability - unfinished, doesn't seem like it will be [h1]Full Review[/h1] There once was a puzzle game developed for the PS1 called Kurushi / Intelligent Qube. It was relatively popular and definitely unique, but never grabbed much momentum. Puzzle games of the PS1 era were all about trying new things, as it was an exciting time with the transition from 2D to 3D. Not a lot of puzzle games stuck around, and unfortunately Kurushi was one of them. Crisp Cube is a game that tries to mimic the gameplay of Kurushi, and it does so pretty well! The gameplay has cubes on a stage slowly rolling towards you; the goal, is to clear all of the cubes except forbidden black cubes. You place a marker on the floor, and when the cube you want to delete rolls atop it, you press a button to trigger destroying whatever block is atop it. There are…

I loved Intelligent Qube on the original Playstation, I was happy to find this. I reached a point where I couldn't complete anymore because it was too difficult, and that's ok with me.

I do love IQ for PS1 and this was a great game to play to have that feeling. Ii would love to have more levels and challenges, but unfortunately there isnt many levels to this game so its ends fast with no randomness to it.

As a big fan of Intelligent Qube, I was excited to try this one out. And... it's ok. But some points drops the note below the pass mark. The game is engaging, the challenges are there. But the fact levels are always the same and not randomised already make the concept lose some interest. Not having a number of moves to get make the concept lose potential compared to IQ, and getting a dog sweating just for one mistake only is too harsh. Overall, entirely playable, but less interesting than IQ, sorry.

if you like kurushi final or intelligent cube this game is for you. the vibe is completly different but the puzzle action is there

I have long loved Kurushi (or Intelligent Qube in America) I played it for hours on the psone. This has the same vibe as Kurushi. It is unfortunate that the levels are not randomised and you don't have a set amount of moves but honestly that doesn't matter becasue it scratches the itch I have for Kurushi. Plus you get to play as a cute AF doggo! Who doesn't want that?! For the price point (£2.49) I am not complaining one bit
