About Cubesis
Have you ever wanted to change the weather? In Cubesis you can completely change the climate from tropical to icy. As the leader of the Cubies, you have to please your people, which means you will have to change the world wisely because it works as a fragile clockwork, and because it is guarded by two gods: Ikjuch and Likael who can be cruel and generous at the same time. Only you will decide if they will help you, or destroy you. Come and lead your people through a challenging journey: charming and yet unknown world awaits you!
Cubesis is a turn-based strategy game with puzzle elements, centered around the fragile balance of the Cubeworld. You have to solve strategy-like puzzles and the way to their solution is beset by many obstacles: for example the sea. To overcome such obstacles, you need to figure out what pleases the gods Ikjuch and Likael.

Key features
- Fragile balance
Balance constitute the core mechanic of the game. Let´s put it simply: everything has its cost and nothing is ultimately good, which means anything can be ultimately good in certain circumstances. - Puzzle elements
Unlike other strategy titles this one aims to give player a bit more thoughtful gameplay, which is accomplished by goals (cross the sea, collect treasure chest, build a city in the lake, etc.) that player needs to fulfill in order to win the level. These goals usually need player to decide the strategy that will lead him to success many steps ahead. - Editable terrain
In Cubesis every tile of land can be modified and even destroyed: you can dig through the world! Beside that you will create dams, rivers and canals. - God Game
You will meet two gods (Ikjuch and Likael) who created Cubeworld. They represent the law of nature of the Cubeworld: sea level and global temperature. They can help you if you know what you want: drought and flood can be both good. - Two campaigns
You will meet up to thirty four enjoyable and challenging levels that are ordered based on their difficulty. You will start with tutorial, go through easy campaign and end up with Likael´s Revenge campaign.
What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Cubesis is a simple 2D retro pixel turn based city building strategy game made with GameMaker Studio. It's like a somewhat dumbed down version of Populous from the 1990's as you move your "cubie" units around, build cities, manipulate the terrain and so on. While gameplay is richer than a lazy 2D retro pixel platformer, it's shallow in comparison to the many hundreds of professionally made strategy games on Steam like Cities Skylines and Civilization. The somewhat unique ideas in the game are also let down by a very poor quality, lazy technical implementation. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics. The control…3 found this helpful

Can't recommend.
Temperamental micro management with less controls.
TLDR is good concept but doesn't quite deliver.
A nice, simple strategy game. Not complicated, but very simple.
