Quick!

@grumpygamer@mastodon.gamedev.place like tetris but you have to form certain geometric shapes of the same color using the cubes for the cubes to disappear

Cube Bert?

[countstex@dice.camp]

@hp @grumpygamer aye, I was just making a joke.

[diskostu@mastodon.social]

@grumpygamer Portal 3. Reduced to the companion cube.

[hp@mastodon.tmm.cx]

@countstex @grumpygamer sorry, my reply was also a joke. To really pile on the Moleneux hate.

@grumpygamer there was a whole genre like rubek of rolling cubes with painted sides to paint a maze or hit switches. Bloxorz was an early one. Easy to generate levels, just random walk something that the person has to recreate.

@mike @grumpygamer Ahh, that takes me back…

@hp @grumpygamer ah! I get you

@grumpygamer higher-lower, but with dice.

Super complex I know

[zverik@en.osm.town]

@grumpygamer Puzzle game: you have a cube with all sides different colours (each level has new colours), and a pictude made of coloured squares. You need to lead the cube through the picture, so that its side fall on the same coloured tiles. From start to finish.

[prema@hachyderm.io]

@mike @grumpygamer it exists. Ms dos game Blockout

[clew@ecoevo.social]

literally *one* cube, as you've described it: a maze or a chase-avoid on the surface of a cube, and the parts you can't see change, and you control the game only by rotating the cube

@grumpygamer

[slade@idlethumbs.social]

@grumpygamer You've got a heavy cube and you need to use physics pushes of varying strength (based on click & hold) to slot it into a square hole, the size of which shrinks with each level until it is the exact dimensions of the cube. You get bonus points if you tip it so the face of the cube's color pointing out matches the floor

[riesi@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@grumpygamer Katamari but its all just cubes?

[conluegering@nrw.social]

@grumpygamer Maybe check Catherine (2011) from Atlus for inspiration?

Cube on infinite plane. One of the sides is green, game want the green side pointing up. Gravity is very low, nudge too much and it will flip past "green is up".

When the green side is up, the player wins a million dollars.

Even better, if the player manages to get the green side up - I win a million dollars!

Cube? Instantly the Canadian movie with that name comes to mind, where a bunch of guys need to escape ... I read they technically had a single cube

Or Rubik's cube. ... gosh I am old
