Cubic Figures is a change of tone for developer DillyFrameGames. I’ve played every game in their Bunny Series, and I’ve enjoyed the cartoonish, amusing nature of each one. However, this latest problem-solving experience takes a more stylish and refined approach. This will appeal to lovers of clean visuals and casual gaming. Yet, if you are expecting larger-than-life characters, you will be disappointed.
DelustiGames published this minimalist puzzle game. It is a single-player experience that reminded me of Tetris. The familiar elements have little to do with gameplay, but more with the shapes you have to manipulate to complete each level. Subsequently, you’ll need good spatial awareness and problem-solving skills to make it through every stage.
Cubic Figures wants the puzzles to do the talking.
I’d have been amazed if Cubic Figures somehow created a story to complement the action. It would have been an unnecessary and impressive feat. Instead, gamers are left without a plot as they work through every shape-twisting problem.
The core ideas are pretty simple to follow. There is an array of easy, medium, and hard puzzles to overcome. First, you must work your way through the easy stuff until you get to the larger and more complex stages. Here, you’ll be pushed to your limits as the challenging puzzle and seemingly never-ending puzzle pieces test your resolve.
I found some of the levels ridiculously easy, but on the flip side, my brain couldn’t compute the solution to other stages. Thankfully, this wasn’t a problem with the handy hint system. If you get stuck, and you will, you can pull up the solution and forget you were ever stuck. This may seem like cheating, but who cares? The hint system keeps things balanced while preventing you from quitting when the going gets tough.
Cubic Figures is a neon-infused blast.
I adore clean visuals and RGB. Therefore, I was always going to be a fan of Cubic Figures’ neon-infused madness. The clean lines, easy-to-follow shapes, and simple puzzle outlines help you to visualise and work through every step.
The audio has a ghostly, futuristic edge that is neither exciting nor sombre. Its nondescript design works perfectly with the industrial and symmetrical approach. Although the audio isn’t memorable, I enjoyed it regardless.
Mastered in minutes.
I wasn’t surprised by the basic control system. Picking up and twisting shapes will not test your gaming prowess. However, it could have been messy had the controls been awful. Therefore, the developer has done a great job.
Replay value is limited to those who wish to complete every puzzle. If you are a completionist, you’ll have to overcome 100 problems before you can tick this off. Consequently, it will consume your day if you wish to finish it.
Cubic Figures is good, but it won’t blow you away.
Cubic Figures is a fine and fun puzzle experience. However, it doesn’t rewrite the script. Although I enjoyed many elements, it lacks originality. This isn’t a problem if you want a casual title that guarantees that you test your brain. Yet, if you want something new, you may be left wanting. Accordingly, I enjoyed it despite its familiar ways, and I recommend buying it here! Do you have the ability to finish every puzzle? Grab the pieces, think steps ahead, and bring every image to life.
