About the Game

Flex your wits to obtain some of the most challenging achievements on Steam, all from the comfort of your new cozy room!

To start, select a puzzle cube from the menu or shelf, as shown in the trailer. From there, you can press scramble to begin a timed solve, or play around with moves starting from the solved state. This is useful for practicing and experimenting with algorithms.

Key Features:

Solved cubies glow and are counted on the laptop, highlighting your progress as you solve!

Save your cube state! You can continue later, or revert back if you mess up an algorithm. Each puzzle gets its own save, so you can have multiple puzzles going at once.

Curate your cube collection! When you solve a cube, it appears as unscrambled on your shelf, and a new bonus cube may be unlocked. Mouse wheel over a cube to rotate it horizontally, or right click to match its angle to the cube in play. Click and drag to swap cubes around. You can even drag a display cube to the cube in play to instantly switch puzzles!

Right click and drag rotates the puzzle on two axes, which covers most movement, but leaves the same two faces (blue and green, red and orange, or yellow and white) on top and bottom. Click the icon cube on the right to change which two faces are on top and bottom. This system prevents gimbal lock that hinders the movement in other puzzle cube games.

Sometimes, the colored faces of cubies will be hidden. So, the inner faces are marked, and you can right click to see a ghost of the cubie extracted from the puzzle.

HAPPY SOLVING!
