About the Game

Kubo is a three-dimensional puzzle game about rebuilding fractured paths through space. Place route cards onto the faces of a cube, rotate each piece into position, connect the stars, and fill every required Kube to restore the network.

Each level presents a different arrangement of stars and a randomized set of route cards. Straight paths, corners, crossings, tunnels, and edge-wrapping routes must be placed in the correct locations and orientations to create one complete connection.

The rules are simple, but the puzzles steadily expand across multiple layers and all six sides of the cube. Later levels require you to think around corners, through the interior, and across several faces at once.

Key Features

  • Solve 50+ handcrafted spatial puzzles.

  • Place and rotate route cards on a fully three-dimensional cube to connect stars and fill every required Kube.

  • Master straight routes, corners, crosses, tunnels, and angled edge pieces.

  • Replay completed levels to improve your times.

  • Enjoy a PSX style pixel-art presentation set against a drifting cosmic backdrop.

The fractured cosmos is waiting. Every route must connect, and the stars will not find each other without you.
