Creat Studios’ 3D puzzler Cuboid is coming exclusively to the PlayStation Store “soon” according to a posting on the PlayStation blog by the games’ producer Olga Sokolova. The title will debut at $9.99 and be followed by DLC that will incorporate new levels and a level creator.
Cuboid conjures up slippery memories of Marble Madness. Instead of featuring a sphere guided by physics, Cuboid has a rectangle that can flop on top of switches and teleporters. Each device triggers a change on the plane’s grid, forcing the player to plot out routes or get angry and throw the controller.
My brain melted when I saw in the trailer that the rectangle could split in half. I only ask puzzle games to do one simple thing: Don’t make me angry with overly complicated design. The calming atmosphere of Cuboid appears as if it could keep me from turning green, though. Who could get mad at a church?
