## What is Paint the Cube?

In Paint The Cube, it’s your job to navigate colorful paths through a maze by painting lines. But here’s the tricky part - the maze is spread out over a cube, and you can’t see where the end of the path is! 

Swipe up, down, left and right to spread colorful paths around the cube. It’s super satisfying to watch the cube twist and turn as you paint it with color. But watch out - it gets trickier as more paths appear! So make sure you don’t leave any path unpainted, or else you will need to retrace your steps to solve the puzzle! 

Which direction will you take to make it to the end of the maze? It’s your job to think outside of the box (or cube!) to make sure you complete each tricky challenge. As you complete more levels, you unlock more beautiful colors and patterns to paint with.

It’s you against the cube - have you got what it takes?

### 4/5 — Fun little game but need more challenges

*2022-02-14, version 1.18*

I love playing but I’ve played over 3,000 levels but the challenges only go from 1-50. I guess the challenges quit being updated. It’s been a long time now and no more so far.

### 4/5 — It’s cool

*2021-07-30, version 1.14*

I don’t see the use for the stuff in the white space bar where it’s asking you to build land. I truly don’t see the reason for that in this game. I just play the game without that. Does anyone else do the same ?

### 1/5 — Not really a puzzle game. Just swiping.

*2021-07-17, version 1.13*

300 levels in and the normal levels with no move limit are still very obvious with where you need to go. You’re just following a path instead of completing a puzzle. 
The challenge levels could be interesting but the move limit makes what could be a puzzle into a game of chess and you need to watch ads to try them again. 
At the end of every level the game tries to get you to watch an ad for a stupid skin. 
The knock off Animal Crossing or whatever house building is copy pasted from their other games and pointless. This game’s about sliding a block around where does the world building thing fit in at all?

### 4/5 — Very Good But...

*2021-07-11, version 1.13*

I love this game. It is very enjoyable yet simple, but there is a point when you start to see the same levels. They are scattered about but I have seen a few that I had already played thrown in. Maybe it's just me? Anyways, great game, great idea, wonderful graphics. I have had little or no problems with this game. Kudos to the developers!

### 1/5 — Dumb

*2021-06-09, version 1.12*

First 50+ levels require no thought. This is one of those scammy games that make people feel smart but the “puzzles” require no strategy.  Every move leaves you with only one choice and the puzzles solve themselves.  You could just blindly swipe your finger and probables solve the first 40.  The game is an ad slaver.  Nothing like the ads I saw.  Wish game deva would just make the games they tease us with.

### 3/5 — Fun but too easy

*2021-06-03, version 1.12*

I’m currently in the 500s level wise and the game has failed to become any harder since level twenty. I’ve kept the app because it’s something to do when I have a moment or need something to do with my hands, but don’t expect much from it. You can pay in coins to access more difficult levels, but if you fail the more difficult levels, then you have to watch an ad to try again. 

And speaking of ads, there are SO many of them. After every level, you’re forced to watch an ad. You get hardly any coins UNLESS you watch an ad. Like, I get it, it’s a free app. Ads are a part of it. But there are a ridiculous number of them, just too many. 

The reason I give it 3 stars is because I’m not hating the experience. It’s a decent app, but too many ads. I’ve literally never left a review on an app before, but I felt the need here.

### 3/5 — Fix it

*2021-04-25, version 1.11*

I gave 3 stars. Wouldve gave 5 because I like this game. It’s calming for my anxiety. I play another popcore game parking jam An love it but i get a lot further on it. The bonus blocks are a bit harder then I thought they would be but also any time I try to watch an add to double my coins or get a skin or something the game freezes An I have to completely go out of the game An go back on repeating the level I did an I still can’t watch it after. It’s weird. Please fix that. I’ll give 5 stars when I can do what it offers.

### 4/5 — Fun but not challenging

*2021-04-22, version 1.11*

I am at level 620, and as much fun as I am having with it as just a fun puzzle game, I don’t find it very challenging. I was expecting to see the cubes that were in the advertisements by now, but instead it still feels like my hand is being held.

### 3/5 — Fun but annoying

*2021-04-22, version 1.11*

Painting the cubes is a lot of fun. Not a word game, card game, match three game. No death, no violence, just a cube and some paint. It makes you think, which is great. But the ads...beat a level, watch an ad. Beat a level, for extra coins, watch an ad. Beat 2 levels, watch an ad. Not quite 50-50 ad to gameplay, but probably 40-60 ad to gameplay. More levels than ads, but keep in mind that a level only takes a couple minutes. I still think it’s fun and original. The game itself would be a 4 or 5 star game. I’m only level 30, so I have no idea what’s ahead.

### 2/5 — Needs Variety

*2021-03-31, version 1.9*

I have sat and played through over 500 levels. Level 534 is so simple a 6 mo old could do it. You think it would get harder and more challenging the higher levels you go. But I can tell you putting a couple of interlocking figure 8s with only one path to go down no matter what you do is not challenging. I was very hopeful for this game to get harder that I kept telling myself it’s go to get harder than this. But after going through the levels I have and seeing duplicates and mirrors of the duplicates I am pretty sure this app has no challenge left to offer. Play it for a while on the free version. It don’t waste the money on removing ads because they won’t waste their time making it challenging.
