About
kubic is a unique optical illusion puzzle game based on M.C. Escher's art, impossible objects and other geometric designs. The object is to construct the goal configuration from a number of pieces.
Presented in a simple, clean design and minimalistic art, kubic is a premium game with over 60 escher-esque puzzles.
When you click on a piece, it pops to the front-most layer, and may overlap other pieces. When you combine the pieces, they do not merge. If there are extra pieces, you may hide them behind the others. You can also lock layers and drag pieces without changing their layer order. You can also use two finger pinch to zoom in and out and drag the view for a better control.
If you are stuck on a puzzle you can simply skip it and re-visit at a later time. Rest assured, all puzzles can be solved but beware, some puzzles are hard! Just take your time...Tip: It helps to plan ahead and build figures from back to front.
If you truly get stuck, there is a in-game hint system. You can use it to get started or even get the whole puzzle solved.
Levels divided in 6 groups:
• Ocean - "2D" Shapes are basically two-dimensional arrangements.
• Desert - "3D" Shapes appear to be three-dimensional, but remember to think in two dimensions.
• Mountain - "Convex/Concave" These optical illusions are inspired by Escher's famous "Convex and Concave" lithograph.
• Sky - "Up/Down" These optical illusions are inspired by the Penrose Triangle featured in Escher's lithograph "Waterfall”.
• Escher - Based on letter designs that spell out MC ESCHER.
• Print - Based on the printable magazine version of Convex-Concave puzzles.

Das Spiel ist interessant und zum Teil weniger einfach als man denkt. Es wäre also eine wunderbare Herausforderung, wenn es nicht den "Tipp"-Schalter geben würde. Diesen kann man ohne Begrenzung und Zeitlimit spammen und das Spiel baut einem so automatisch Schritt für Schritt innerhalb von Sekunden die Figuren zusammen. Nun, man kann sich beherrschen und muss ihn nicht benutzen, aber es ist einfach zu einfach, nicht zu drücken, wenn man weiß, dass man es tun kann. Irgendwie verliert das Spiel dadurch für mich sehr viel an Reiz. Das Spiel ist schlicht und übersichtlich aufgebaut. Die einzelnen Steine/Gebilde lassen sich gut schieben und anbringen. Es fängt banal an, steigert sich aber recht schnell zu komplexen Figuren. Den Tipp wird man definitiv wohl an der einen oder anderen Stelle herbeisehnen - aber wie erwähnt, das Spiel wäre interessanter, wenn diese Funktion zeitlich begrenzt wäre (z.b. der Tipp lädt sich langsam wieder auf) und in seiner Anzahl (pro Level kann man ihn maximal zweimal benutzen - oder eben angepasst an die Komplexität auch öfter). Damit wäre man gezwungen, seinen Kopf auch wirklich zu benutzen und zu überlegen. Wer macht das schon, wenn man es auch einfacher haben kann, vor allem an Punkten, die schnell mal frustrierend werden? Vielleicht und hoffentlich macht der Entwickler noch weitere Spiele in dieser Art. Und dort dann mit mehr Möglichkeiten es zu spielen: Herausforderungs-, Gelegenheits- und Sandkastenmodus. Dann kann jeder auf seine Weise spielen. Von entspannt bis zum glühendem Kopf, ohne dazu verführt zu werden, es sich zu einfach zu machen. (Ich wäre beim Marshmallow-Test wohl durchgefallen.)
