Cube-matching, not tile-matching, is the name of this game

Since the phenomenal rise of Candy Crush Saga, match-three puzzle games have continued to crop up on the App Store. Unsurprisingly, the vast majority of these are nothing more than clones of King’s hit game, with the common conceit of matching colorful objects on a flat board. Cube Orbit dares to be different, as it offers match-three puzzle gaming not in the two dimensions that players are used to, but in the more challenging realm of three dimensions.

Conquer the cube

What is it about?

Think of Cube Orbit as a clever cross between match-three and Tetrisphere. In the game, you have to assign colors to adjacent cubes in a three-dimensional structure in order to match and destroy them. Each level has you frantically creating matches to reach the specified goal before your time runs out.

For those who...

  • enjoy match-three games.
  • like spatial puzzles.

Not for those who...

  • prefer the usual two-dimensional board-based match-three games.
  • are prone to photosensitive seizures.

Why we love it

Cube Orbit adds more than just depth to the tried and tested (some might say tired and tested) graphics and gameplay of the match-three puzzle genre. There’s the challenge of making matches on a structure that’s constantly rotating. There’s the challenge of completing the level goal before the time runs out. And because each of its levels is playable in just about a minute, Cube Orbit is an ideal game to pick up whenever you want something to distract you in short bursts. And since it has hundreds of levels with increasingly complex cube configurations, it also makes for a great game to play for hours on end.
