Navigating a neon geometric world with bouncy movement, puzzles that require both skill and logic, and a nostalgic synth soundtrack that evokes the 1980s.

What players say

Players describe Cubico as a short, relaxing ball-rolling platformer with a unique terrain-manipulation gimmick, but they are split on whether it is enjoyable or frustrating. Many mention the lack of a save system forces one-sitting runs, and some find the camera movement and confusing map design off-putting.
