Cubicatch

Deciding to force the player to only navigate menus using the game's own mechanics was a bad idea. For example, in almost any game, if you wanted to change the music level from 100% to 20% and then continue the game you'd maybe have to click a mouse button maybe 5 or 6 times total. Something like clicking Options, then Audio, then using a slider to set the music level, then Back once or twice, then Continue/Play. Since you're not allowed to use your mouse in this game, here's the button input required in Cubicatch to achieve the same result, starting in the main menu: S to aim down space to move space to move D to aim right space to select Settings *wait for screen transition* D to aim right space to select Audio *wait for screen transition* A to aim left space to move to 100% space to move to 80% space to move to 60% space to move to 40% space to move to 20% S to aim down space to confirm setting W to aim up space to move D to aim right space to move space to move space to move space to move space to move W to aim up space to hit the Back button *wait for screen transition* D to aim right space to select Continue

Excellent puzzle game. There are limited degrees of freedom, so it's never terribly hard, although still levels tricky enough that when you figure it out the solutions feels satisfying!

Really easy puzzle game, fun puzzles and intuitive

Amazing puzzle game that deserve more recognition and players than this. The developer did a beautiful job it was amazing to watch his devlogs, and learn alongside him. The Puzzles are challenging, but beating a level that gives you a hard time feels like a huge win

Buy if you want a competent 3D grid-based puzzle game that doesn't overstay its welcome and isn't that difficult. [h3]Gameplay[/h3] Your objective in each level is to move a cube to a goal. You move the cube in the six 3D cardinal directions (Up, Down, Left, Right, Forward, Backward). The cube moves until it hits something else. The game introduces new mechanics along the way. The marquee mechanic, which appears in the majority of levels, is toggling between 2D and 3D. The game is very clear about teaching its mechanics, always having several levels to gradually ease you into them. If anything, it does this a little too much. There were a few times where it was a little annoying to tell if things lined up in the 3D space. But I think that's hard to completely avoid and the game generally does a good job. The game has Hard levels that aren't required to progress. However, it does require you to complete all Normal levels to progress. That is too strict. But the game is overall not very difficult so it isn't quite as much of a problem as it would be in other puzzle games. [h3]Length[/h3] Can 100% in 3-7 hours. 102 levels + 2 long levels. A lot are essentially teaching levels, so…

Cubicatch is a short and fun puzzle game with great design. The game isn't too difficult as far as complexity is concerned, but the puzzles are varied and creative. The progression is well paced with new mechanics steadily introduced over the 100+ levels. The music is calm and relaxing as well. The menus and level select are a little confusing at first because they use the cube's movement mechanics instead of traditional directional navigation. However, this doesn't take long to get used to, and it results in many hidden secret puzzles. These optional challenges ended up being one of my favorite parts of the game. Cubicatch is an easy recommendation for puzzle enthusiasts, especially when there is a sale on the already low price.
