How should flat Earther's feel about the world actually being a cube?? (Nice game! I like the art)
first of all, wow. i like how this game comes with a tutorial. i also like how this game is streamlined enough not to need one. i really enjoyed the game loop that you've made it makes the player want to keep trying. the sound design on this games is quite impressive because although the notes seem random when an action is clicked they still contribute to the ambience/mood of the game. the sensitivity of the camera rotation was just right. i think this game could improve by possibly adding an animation to the sand timers on the cubes. but overall i had a lot of fun playing this game.
My Highscore: 3:11
I really wonder how you got this idea, but it works really great. You really get in some kind of zen mode while playing. Also love hot the tutorial is baked in. The view size seems a bit small to me, but I think this is probably intentional. There are only two small things I would change: * Please let any key (or at least also space) start the game * I once clicked on a bomb of a cube that just spawned. Maybe some kind of cooldown would be cool there
3:22 was as far as I could get.
The camera management started to get really difficult with the boxes so far away from the center. It was nearly impossible to get the boxes on the screen. Although I suppose that's part of the game!
It was surprisingly fun to get used to the unique way of interacting with the world.
Zooming out would have been nice, but otherwise a super nice entry! Thanks for the game!
Had fun with this one! Managed to reach 3:07. The camera did get a bit hard to manage once there were more boxes, but it added to the challenge I guess!
Interesting game! I really liked the cube menu system with the tutorial, great way to introduce the main mechanic! A bit hard to controll the camera sometimes, but otherwise nice. Good job!
nice game, the only problem is once i lost because i tried to rotate the camera but i was over a bomb so i died, also the perspective is wierd, not sure if thats intentional (probably was)
Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my stream!

Managed to get up to 1:30 while streaming the game but looks like Im not even close to the average 3 minutes haha
@elysiagriffin Thanks again for streaming and playing my game! I also appreciate your post work, commenting on the game, posting the high score and linking the video. That’s a bunch of work when I see how many hours/days you streamed and how many games you have been playing. This is really kind of you! Thanks for making this community so great. I wish you all the best with your streaming / gaming career!
Interesting idea! Makes for a simple but enjoyable gameplay. All the mechanics are easily understood, and if they didn't the tutorial certainly would help. Nice idea with putting the menu / tutorial on a cube, it looks great!
I've managed to get to 02:30 so far, I think I need a couple more tries to get to the average score. ;)
Clipboard-12.pngThis was super hard! :D It was a fresh take on these kind of stressful games. Well done!
3min 23 secs! Very cool game! Very addictive. As a musician i could complain about the music, but i wont :D
Ahah, very cool idea! I love that the tutorial is on the sides of the cube. The gameplay works well and it's fun to try and find the hourglasses. After a good number of cubes, it get super difficult but maybe there is some strategy that could be used (like following a strict order in which you activate the cubes) I would maybe say that there would be a risk-reward mechanism somewhere to speed up the beginning that is a bit boring after you done it once, maybe player could choose to add cubes early for some kind of reward. Anyway thanks for the game!
I made it 3:56. The game is absolutely brilliant, such a simple idea that so perfectly fits the theme. It's relaxing and stressful at the same time, and executed perfectly. The best game I've played so far!
Took me a bit to figure out the drag mechanic but really fun once you get the hang of it
I can only imagine how frustrating it would be to play this with a laptop's touchpad instead of an actual mouse....

Certainly not the best score here, but I'm pretty proud of myself for making it past the two-minute mark!
What a beautiful atmosphere! The musical sound effects and calming music really improve concentration, without the peaceful music I probably would have cracked under the pressure of almost every cube being yellow but thankfully I was able to survive longer until the **inevitable** bitter end.
The theme usage is very nice, the mood is beautiful, the audio is top-notch, and visually it has a good semi-minimalistic look! Well done, and I hope you reach 20 ratings!
Nice game and original idea, and clever idea to put the tutorial on the sides of the cube. :) I like the sound effects and how they blend in with the background music. My best: 2:26
Really nice way of explaining the controls and rules to the player. And fun to play. Thank you! Screenshot 2022-04-21 at 11.03.16.png
2min and 5s. fun game but the sound is killing me.
