Why we picked this?

Cubes is good clean fun. The idea is to move cubes around the screen with a swipe in order to recreate the patterns. The catch is that all of the cubes move in unison, so the only way to rearrange them is to push them up against the various barriers. The game includes 127 levels in all.

You enjoy a good puzzle. It’s great for everyone from kids to adults.

You prefer fast-paced action.
