CubeHub

This is a collection of mini-games based on innovative game mechanics and parodying famous games and other works of modern culture with its help. This is a physics challenge with puzzle elements.

Gameplay

At the game level are various figures. Your goal: to put the figures so that they intersect certain parts. The game marks these parts with a pink color.

Using the keyboard, you control one of the figures: rotation, movement back and forth. You can push other figures.

Some figures may have AI and move independently of the player. Some figures can “shoot” cubes, they push the figures too.

At different levels, different settings for gravity and destructibility of the environment.

Game features

  • Many figures of different shapes and colors.

  • Tutorial levels.

  • Different game levels. From simple and funny to very complex, from which you will break the keyboard and your nerves.

  • The game develops attentiveness, precision of movements, intelligence and a sense of rhythm.

  • This is a fun game for the whole family. Play it with your friends, parents, children, grandparents. Play it at work so that your boss can see that you are increasing your intellectual level and become more useful for the company.

Game provided by the Dev via my Curator Page.

Saturday of Piercing Screams is the second game to the “Samozbor” series created by the Russian Developer “Derevotyan.” The goal of the game is to sacrifice 914 people over the course of 64 levels to the great shark god thing? Honestly I have no idea what’s going on… Like the whole series in general is super confusing to me, but it’s interesting none the less.

Deep Under the Sky

Deep Under the Sky

In the undiscovered recesses of a faraway planet, beautiful and strange organisms live and breathe in a psychedelic Venusian world of dancing lights and metroid-like organisms. Similarly psychedelic to the visual style of the game is the soundtrack, with its equally as trippy and ambient qualities that build up and evolve with each successful move you make.

Deep Under the Sky uses a one-button control system that while incredibly easy to use is surprisingly deep in execution. The objective of each gorgeously organic stage is to fertilize each glowing plant with the debris from the exploded amoeba-like jellyfish that release from the base you control. As simple as that sounds reaching each carefully placed plant and spreading your pieces far enough to fertilize them will be a matter of careful aiming and finesse as you surpass each obstacle and navigate each twist and turn of the maze-like passageways.

The only reason I am not recommending Deep Under the Sky on Steam is due to how poorly it was ported over from a mobile system. It can be played with a single finger on a single button and, when it’s cooperating, the uncomplicated play style is suited to that equally simplistic control scheme. The trajectory of the jellyfish-spore creature is locked from the start of the level and the tools used to alter its path, as well as the order they can be used, are predetermined as well. Despite a small difficulty spike at the end, even getting the optional hidden stars isn’t made to be a challenge. Everything’s so relaxed and smooth that I was inclined to play through the entire game in a single sitting. Furthermore the visual style, though not quite stunning, isn’t as cluttered as some screenshots make it look.

Journey to Moonray

Journey to Moonray

Journey to Moonray is a hypnotic, top-down twin-stick shooter featuring silky smooth visual FX and intense combat.

Dive into the same universe as our upcoming Souls-like hack-and-slash Moonray, Journey to Moonray takes you on a voyage through the astral fluid on the way to the planet It-Ao.

Dash through 35+ gorgeous dynamic levels and watch enemies, bosses, bullets, and bombs all disturb the cosmic liquids of the hyperspace battlefield to create a striking visual treat. Plunge into wave after wave of enemies amidst 700 high-tech fluid shaders and unlock the ability to customize the space shooter with your favorite liquid looks.

Designed to take full advantage of the latest GPU technologies and power, Journey to Moonray offers beautiful shaders built on fluid physics. Each is generated from a blend of liquid blow mechanics and models of random patterns occurring in nature, such as how spots form on leopard fur. Real-time gameplay input from intense battles results in a responsive feast for the eyes.

Reach a target score within a set time limit in Deadline, or within a limited number of lives in Survival mode. Rack up points while battling waves in Traversal to hit a target score by the end of the level. Take on extra deadly enemies in Boss mode, dealing with the toughest challenges before time runs out.

Crystal Vibes feat. Ott.

One of VR"s most early kaleidoscopic music video dealies. Should be worth a dollar. It might have also been bundled with another set of experiences, I don’t remember. I’m probably thinking of something else. The music a funky dubstep dealie with strange sounds, so, up my alley for sure.

! I tried real hard to spell kaleidoscopic the first time correctly, and failed. I tried again just now looking at the correct spelling and failed. https://youtu.be/bUvpdrg90XM

Super Chains

Super Chains

Having beaten and very much enjoyed the original Chains back in 2008, getting its sequel after seeing it on the Steam store a couple of weeks ago was a no-brainer. I remember spending quite a few hours on the original, even though it didn’t take too long to finish. It’s one of those games you can easily come back to – play through it once, figure out which levels you like most and replay them whenever you have a few minutes to kill.

Having now beaten the sequel, I can easily see myself coming back to it many times in the future, as well. Super Chains isn’t simply the original with updated graphics – while it brings back nearly half of the original’s levels, it introduces a number of new ideas into the mix. The main mechanic is obviously still connecting a set of colored balls, but this time around they might represent the letters of a word or poker cards – something that wasn’t explored much in the original that I found very enjoyable.

Real player with 20.3 hrs in game

Super Chains is not necessarily an easy game to review, not because there’s anything wrong with it, but rather because it’s so many different games, all (so far as I’ve played) done right. Enough to please pretty much any puzzle gamer several times over, I’d imagine. And I say that with a rather extensive library of “pure puzzle” games of my own from Steam.

Super Chains starts off slowly, allowing each player to become accustomed to the “connect the colored balls” variety, of which there are several. But when I say several, I don’t mean that that they are the same, or even particularly similar. Certainly not similar enough to become repetitive, and with the presence of both Global and Friends leaderboards, repeat play is very much a given. (Competition never grows old!) And with ten languages (so far), competition is global. And something else that prevents Super Chains from getting old is the superior soundtrack. Easily one of the best I’ve heard for a puzzle game.

Cyber Lemur

Cyber Lemur

This game is a really fun challenge. I don’t typically go for awkward control games, but this game achieves just the right level of difficulty with good pacing. The later levels are really challenging and would take a while to really master! The multiplayer options are where the real fun happens. There’s an element of unpredictability and silliness that balances the challenging controls to make it really fun both when working together to control the same character, or when competing against each other. I would definitely recommend it whether you are looking for a challenge, or just a casual game to play with friends!

Russian horror game/ adventure with a unique visual style. You travel to another dimension to find and break 9 energy balls, fight the boss and save the princess.

You don’t have the inventory, compass and map. You don’t get hints, but you get a one type of weapon with infinite ammo and a companion (the flying head lights your path). You must explore the 9 levels of the abstract building.

Heres a review for this game as it is now released. As an early access user, I HIGHLY reccomend this game. This game is where you play as Kotel and you and your friends have to save Durka, the princess of Gigacrush. Despite the only gameplay is throwing rakes at things, that gameplay is fun and addicting. There are nine fun levels packed tight with enemies, platforming, and a ton of blocks filled with coins. Another thing is that this is really optimized for a game with this much physics goin on and has a bunch of settings for computers on both the high and low ends. This game is a hidden gem and recommend that you play it sometime

I like it.. its something thats pretty cool to play with while listening to music.. do the tutorial and itll walk ya thru it.. pretty straight forward and easy to use.. more tools would be cool tho

Real player with 15.0 hrs in game

Pretty meditative physics sandbox, especially with audio reactivity enabled. Had a very relaxed time effectively making my own Windows Media Player visualisations.

Do wish there were more variety in the basic tools (like different collision shapes) but for the price and the simplicity of using it you can hardly go wrong. Hope it does get expanded out to steamVR in the future sometime so more people can enjoy, especially with the oculus facebook requirement ramping up soon. Would hate for this to be lost in the future.
