Cubot

Linux, PC (Microsoft Windows), Mac, Xbox One • 2015

Should you play it?

At first sight, Cubot is a puzzle-game with a minimalist gameplay, just move color cubes towards tiles of the same color. It's really easy, but it will be a torture for your mind to complete all levels of the game because the apparent simplicity of the game is in contradiction with the complexity of the level-design.

Things to keep in mind
