DIYGamer: The Indie Fund finally bears fruit, and the art-style looks almost festive on this one; A sea of white with primary-colored highlights awaits in Q.U.B.E. (Quick Understanding of Block Extrusion), a first-person puzzle game clearly inspired by Portal, but thankfully doing enough different to stand proudly by itself. A full review will have to wait until I’ve dug a little deeper and shaken the cobwebs out of my brain, but here’s some thoughts on the first couple of levels, along with a trailer after the break.
Just as it was true of the original, Q.U.B.E 2 owes a great deal of its game mechanics, visuals and style to Valve’s seminal puzzle classic. The key differentiating factor is that instead of playing with portals, it’s cubes that are at the heart of the game’s puzzles, but is that enough to differentiate the game from Portal?
Toxic Games has announced a March 13th release date for QUBE 2, the sequel to its mind-bending 2011 original puzzle game.
