Cube Mind offers a challenging puzzle platforming experience reminiscent of the Portal series, featuring mechanics that involve manipulating cubes to solve intricate puzzles across four progressively complex sections. The game emphasizes a "learn by example" approach with minimal guidance, encouraging players to adapt to nuanced mechanics while providing ample checkpoints to ease frustration. With visually striking design and immersive elements, Cube Mind successfully combines simple mechanics with clever puzzle design, ensuring each level introduces new challenges without overwhelming players with new mechanics.
- “Cube Mind is a puzzle platformer with mechanics very reminiscent of the Portal games, in which weight cubes and projector cubes have to be used to redirect light beams, activate light switches, pressure plates & bridges, and enable/disable force fields, in order to unlock the exit door.”
- “The game is in four sections - a 'learn by example' tutorial with smaller puzzles, then three sections with complex and large puzzles, each based on a particular mechanic or technique (power jumps, force fields, precision platforming with moving take-off and landing points, etc.).”
- “Overall, the developer has produced a visually striking and impressive game, with complex and clever puzzles and subtly 'tweaked' mechanics, and has also been incredibly responsive to players' error reports and queries.”
- “There is very little hand-holding with Cube Mind (though levels do seem to have many checkpoints to reduce backtracking after failures), and the learning curve was made harder for me by the nuanced differences between Cube Mind mechanics and their portal equivalents.”
- “The sections and puzzles appear in a fixed order and gradually increase in difficulty and complexity, although no new mechanics are introduced.”
- “Overall, the developer has produced a visually striking and impressive game, with complex & clever puzzles and subtly 'tweaked' mechanics, and has also been incredibly responsive to players' error reports and queries.”
