Simple yet innovative. Nice music. Visually atractive. Quite challenging at some points. And above all that, SMART. Worth every single cent. Amused me in every single puzzle, specially the ones in the dark. Surprising ending too.
   
   Some people think that the game is crappy for the lack story but in my opinion one thing that make this game so good is exactly the lack of it. That way when you proceed through the chambers you wonder who created them, what was the purpose of all that and many other things that are, at least partially, explained when you beat it. People with at least a drop of creativity, imagination and logic should love this game.
   
   Looking foward to Q.U.B.E. 2!… Expand

Extrude and move cubes to reach the exit. Much variation that foces the player to change the way of solving puzzles every 3rd or 4th puzzle. Difficulty goes from easy to quite challangeing withougt ever being unfair.
   Do not try to compare it with portal. It somehow looks like portal but those two games aren't really compareable. The puzzles and are just way too different.… Expand

   A very good puzzle game indeed. Superficially there are some resemblances of this game to Portal series. However, the mechanics of this puzzleA very good puzzle game indeed. Superficially there are some resemblances of this game to Portal series. However, the mechanics of this puzzle game is significantly different from that of Portal games. In this game you don't generate portals. Instead you are supposed to touch and to activate varous colored cubes which have different functions. You need to figure out the functions of different color cubes and to find out the way to go forward by using these color cubes in appropriate combinations. Since the mechanics of this game is very different from that of Portal, you don't feel like repeating Portal games under different disguises at all. There is no story unlike Portal 2. This game is for pure logic puzzles. The game is available as both a steam version and a DRM-free version (Gamersgate).… Expand

   Best words to describe this game is "Portal without portals", but sadly, also without plot, characters or humor. On the other hand, theBest words to describe this game is "Portal without portals", but sadly, also without plot, characters or humor. On the other hand, the puzzles in this game are fun and diverse, so you won't have a chance to get bored of them, even more so the game is very short (only about 4 hours). Even though its quite simple most of the times, there is no real tutorial, nothing is explained, so you have to figure out everything yourself. Overall, a great game, worth giving it a try, but it just cries out loud for some kind of story and better replayability factor.… Expand

   Q.U.B.E is a first-person puzzle game that tries very hard to be Portal. It's a decent game, but it falls far short of Portal's glory.

   The decision to not incude any instructions is interesting. I was able to figure everything out after a while, but there are many moving parts and it's easy to forget which parts do what. Portal was elegant. Portals were the solution to every problem. In this game, you push blocks, pull blocks, rotate rooms, move balls, switch gravity, push wires, and more. Once you figure out how something works, instead of mastering it, new moving parts are thrown in. Combine that with non-resettable puzzles where you can get stuck, and it adds up to poor level design. The puzzles are somewhat entertaining and decently tough.
   
   The setting is really boring. Little sound, and nobody says anything. It's like walking through a hospital.
   
   Puzzle fans may enjoy this, but don't pay too much for it, especially for such a short game. $5 is about right.… Expand

   The block puzzles were a lot of fun, because you were so actively involved, but as soon as there were ball puzzles it became a lot moreThe block puzzles were a lot of fun, because you were so actively involved, but as soon as there were ball puzzles it became a lot more passive. The beginning certainly hinted at a lot more than what was explored. Despite that, it does have good pace, and keeps introducing new concept, so if you're into your puzzles and not expecting much story this is a good game. Personally I got bored after a couple of hours, but they were a good couple of hours. Buy when it comes down in price would be my advice :).… Expand
