[Update: Greenlit] Stuck In Greenlight Limbo: ‘Cubistry’

This time the spotlight will be shining on Cubistry, a colorful cube-y puzzler (get it?). Let’s see if we can’t help it escape the cold emptiness of Greenlight limbo, eh?

Cubistry challenges players to rotate a larger cube made up of smaller cubes while eliminating the smaller cubes by selecting matching sets. You can do this in puzzle mode, cube attack mode, 1 & 5 minute timed modes, as well as stationary camera mode. We plan to add additional modes and even to port the game to Linux and Mac OS if greenlit.

As someone in the comments section on Cubistry‘s Greenlight page already said, yes, it does bear a strong resemblance to Mahjongg. But really, is that such a bad thing, if the game in question is still fun? Which it is, by the way, and very much so. That and it’s also incredibly easy to learn, yet not quite so easy to master. While randomness does seem to be a thing (and a potential issue), setting a record score/time does – for the most part –  rely on your ability to match tiles, which uncovers more tiles to match, etc. Short version: Cubistry is puzzling entertainment… cubed.

So riddle me this, dear reader: why is Cubistry still struggling to get through Greenlight? It’s been out for a while, so availability certainly can’t be the reason. Might I recommend visiting its Greenlight page and handing over a ‘yes’, if you like what you see? Remember, your vote matters!

Cubistry is available for Windows from the official website, with no price tag or any kind of DRM.
