About

Intelligent Qube is a puzzle game for the PlayStation. In the game, the player controls a character who must run around a platform made of cubes, clearing certain cubes as they approach. Cubes are "cleared" by marking a spot on the stage, waiting for the cube to roll on top of it, and then deactivating the marked spot.

What players say

A starkly minimalist, almost horror-like puzzle game where a creepy soundtrack and stern announcer make clearing rolling cube grids feel nerve-wracking; respected as a genuinely original, harsh, high-pressure brain-teaser unlike anything else.
