If you can settle with gold/silver/bronze, this game is fun and easy. If you're a perfectionist, like me, and NEED master.... It's harder than Impossible Game, Dark Souls, Quake, and Superhexagon combined. Pissing me the ♥♥♥♥ off the entire time I'm playing it. 11/10 surprisingly fun for what it looks like.

Cubetractor is an action strategy puzzle game where, you guessed it, you have a lot of interactions with cubes. The game was released in May 2013 and a lot of people will probably have this game already due to it featuring quite often in bundles over the past couple of years. The game play looks very simple from the screenshots on the store, but there is actually quite a bit of depth to this little title. You are in...

If you're willing to dig into mechanics that'll make you count distance and learn the timing on when to fling what where, this is a fun game where you're dodging and combining objects to make protection/offense against the environment to solve puzzles and survive. It's also exceedingly cutesy. If you're not, though, you'll probably get tired of this a few stages in like I did. Doesn't make it a bad game, just makes...

This is a great game. I love the pixelated art and the simple gameplay. You play as a robot and your job is to pull cubes. As the game progress you can combine cubes to make a cannon, wall, power plant, etc... This game is quite hard too. You need to consider where you build your things to maximize your your power. To get perfect score (4 stars) you have to finish the level flawlessly (collect all the batteries,...

It’s fast, fun and engaging and what it lacks in length it makes up for in playability. The puzzles are well thought-out, the core mechanics are honed and the difficulty curve is very even over the course of the game.

No this is not a tower defense game. This is an action puzzle game with a bullet-hell twist based on getting quick times, collecting all the pickups, and not getting hit. There aren't many levels overall 12 main levels with some sidequests, and there are tutorial levels mixed in. The graphics and soundfx fit very well together and emulate a 16 bit title well. I honestly wasn't paying attention to the music, the...

Do not read into the tower defense part. This is strictly a puzzle/action game. You also are locked into using your keyboard for movement and using your abilities. Perhaps there is controller support, but definitely no mouse. You use arrow keys for movement, z and x for activation. All you do is pull blocks to solve levels through either moving blocks into enemies, or combining them to make your turrets/towers. THAT...

It's simple, fun, and entertaining. It's kind of short but feels rewarding. The puzzles are well thought out and enjoyable, the mechanics are solid, and the tower defense bit is dialed in just right. This is a great little game!

Cubetractor is like a game of tug of war where the opposing team is throwing rocks at you. Except the rocks are lasers and nobody actually remembered to bring a rope. Though it borrows some tower defense staples, Cubetractor is primarily a puzzle game about pulling blocks around and making them bump into one another. The trick however isn’t so much in the actual pulling of blocks but in the timing and placement of...

interesting concept, but the spacing and punishment for getting hit by your own building materials doesn't really work as a fun mechanic
