Cube3D

Can you solve the cube ? even the 5 columns ?

What started as just a proof of concept develops into a full and rich game.

Here a new version of the popular rubik'cube puzzle, with new graphics and controls.
To solve the puzzle, rotate columns so all the 6 faces of the cube is made of the same colours.

  • 2 camera positions for better view
  • preview your moves
  • easy controls
  • works in both portrait and landscape
  • advanced graphics
  • play the classic 3 columns cube, the 4 and 5 too
  • work in Android, Jolla, windows and linux
  • no adds
  • no special authorizations needed
  • It's FREE !
Current status

This project was made several years ago, I didn't go through with unity3D, not the engine wasn't good but I followed a different professional path and had no time to keep working on this side project.
I'm releasing the code because since it's a full workable project it can be useful for someone starting with the sdk, and, be honest It won't hurt my resume ! Keep in mind this project is unmaintained ! Don't ask for any help I won't be able to help you. In a matter of fact, I can't even guaranty it will open on the current editor without error (but It should be easily fixed).>
