Smart Cube

-TL;DR at the bottom.- Smart Cube is a neat little puzzle platformer that had an enjoyable experience with. The idea behind the game is very simple. You take a cube, place it on a black square (Or a black circle for jump pads) and build from there to try and make your way to the exit. Sometimes you start with nothing and have to go around the level collecting these items, while other times you have everything you need in your inventory. If you're unsure of where to go, you can press E to see where the exit is located. You can also press R to restart the level if you find yourself stuck. The Puzzle elements of the game are very very easy. If you're expecting a mind-numbing challenge, I'm sorry to say that you won't find it here. Many of the maps are painfully simple, including a few maps (aside from the tutorial maps) where I didn't even use a single cube and walked right to the exit (I'm looking at you, Level 38). Having the ability to locate the exit also helps in lowering the difficulty of this game. There are few levels with branching paths, but a quick keystroke and you know exactly which way to go. While the puzzle elements were lacking, what I had the most fun with was exploring the maps and finding where each cube or jump pad was hidden. I could tell the creator really had some fun with the level designs and the placement of the cubes. I had a good laugh or two when I discovered their locations on a few of the maps. Your character has some pretty inconsistent control. Sprinting does almost nothing, Now for the stuff not associated with the gameplay. I loved the UI. Simple. Crisp. Clear. Exactly what you would expect in a game like this. The Music is serviceable. It's nothing amazing, but at no time did I groan and mute the game. The Overall graphics were decent. It's a pretty game, and the added touch of being able to change the cube color was a nice touch. Criticism - I have to say that for a game to say "Get ready to have your intellect tested!" on its store page, I was expecting some really challenging stuff. Sadly, I did not get that here. Where this game really shined was level design. Exploring the maps and finding the cubes and jump pads I needed was great. This game would probably have done better if the focus was more on exploration and item collecting in these mini-levels instead of the extremely simple puzzle elements. Smart Cube is extremely bare bones. There are 50 levels to complete... and that's it. No Time Attacks, Challenge Modes or extra Unlockable levels. There's not even unlockable extras for completing the game. Just "END". I thought I would have been a little slighted at seeing that, but at the time of this review the game only cost $0.49 (discounted from $0.99), so, eh, it's fine. - TL;DR Here - I enjoyed my time with this game. It was a nice way to spend an afternoon. However, I would probably recommend this to the younger gamers or those who have never played a puzzle platformer before. This would be a good title to get acclimated with the sub-genre. While the controls are a bit slippery, and the actual puzzles were simple at best, the exploration elements were great. I hope the next game this developer creates focuses on exploration and item collecting, as those were what really shined in this title. If you're looking for a challenge, steer clear. ...Spending 99 cents on an hour and a half of content and some easy steam achievements is pretty worth, though. 3/5

It's an FPP (firstpersonpuzzle) where you proceed by stacking crates on black surfaces or using jumppad plates on black surfaces. Both of those items you usually have to find from somewhere else and then it's just matter of creating your path to the exit with the given tools. Very simple and nothing fancy. Assets looks like they just may be stock UE4 assets but at the mere price of under 1€, I'm fine with that.

５０ステージ。キューブとジャンプパッドを配置できる箇所に設置してゴール目指すゲーム。全面チュートリアルみたいな簡単すぎるマップしかなかったのでやりごたえ無し。 キューブの隣にもキューブを配置できるのですが、ゲームシステム的な詰めの甘さがあるのか斜め上にも配置出来てしまう謎仕様？が難易度を更に下げている。 一時間ちょっとでクリア出来てしまうので、1000円ちょっとした元の定価より作者には申し訳ないが今の100円が妥当かと思います。綺麗なライティングとシャープなポストプロセスは良い点

Могла бы выйтии очень наплохая головоломка - есть очень неплохая основная механика, симпатичная графика, куча уровней, но нет самого главного - головоломок. Любой уровень проходится за 30-40 секунд, всё предельно примитивно. В итоге играть совершенно скучно, игра не ставит перед тобой никаких достойных задач. Увы, но это скорее пустышка, не рекомендую.

This is a minimalist 3D first person "puzzle" platformer. Run and jump around untextured blocky 3D puzzle levels, occasionally dropping a block of your own or tweaking a jump pad so you can jump higher. Understandably the developer fell on their sword and pulled this from Steam. There's just no quality. The visuals do look good thanks to the Unreal Engine, but no matter how good an engine is, it can't turn lead into gold. Lazy minimalist graphics have been used because the developer wasn't able to arrange a more complex visual setting, through lack of talent or budget, it's unclear, but the result is the same, it looks lazy. Unreal can do much better than this. The level design is as minimalist as the graphics... I think this was supposed to be some kind of Portal ripoff, but the levels are just lazy and terribly uninspired. Thankfully you can't buy this, and I applaud the developer for saving future gamers from being exposed to this bundleware.

J'adore ce jeu !! Il est simple et compliqué à la fois. C'est un casse-tête simple mais qui requiert de l'attention. C'est très dommage qu'il ne soit plus en vente sur Steam, j'aurais pu le recommander à des amis de prendre le jeu. En tout cas, un gros bravo au développeur et à tous ceux qui l'ont aidé.
