Game Review
The immediate impression that struck me when I solved the first puzzle on CubeCubeCube was 3D Minesweeper. The rules are as follows, smash apart the level into sets of blocks connected by their faces. Each set must include the number of blocks shown in the numbered blocks. Each set must have exactly one numbered block. Different sets can touch along their edges but not along any faces. Good rules for a game that demolish bricks. ^^

If you hit three mistakes, you must restart. CubeCubeCube actually challenges your mind to understand the puzzle in a 3 dimensional way. I can understand how someone who doesn't do puzzle games could take a while on this but personally I beat it in about a half hour. I must say it's a little too short for people who love puzzles. I would suggest if the puzzle with a low amount of 1's (or even none), since they generally offer a good head start into each map which overall difficulty is reduced. Hidden cubes is also another way to spice up the puzzle.

It is very disappointing when this kind of the games already has good game mechanics but just lacking in content. Really wasted, I believe these puzzles could be made a lot harder and challenging ways with a randomize puzzle option. Just pick a size and number of protected spaces and it generates a challenging puzzle, like in minesweeper. I enjoyed CubeCubeCube very much and the Android app was a nice surprise. I’m looking forward to additional puzzles.
