"This is a brutally difficult game that takes great pleasure in killing you over and over and over again, as you try to get a koala through the spike-laced gauntlets” - Pocket Gamer - Game of the Week "Cube Koala is so well designed that you can pick it up and play it with ease, learning its intricacies as you go along" - Touch Arcade - 4.5/5 "Now here's a game that's thrusting giant buzzsaws at us upon first sight. There are also dark backgrounds filled with electronic guts and spikes shining sharp in the foreground" - Pocket Gamer Cube Koala is an intense puzzler where you play as a koala placed in a kafkaesque tesseract containing deadly traps. Guide our little hero through increasingly difficult levels, manipulate gravity and employ every skill you have learned to bounce through the level’s exit…just to appear in a new one. ○○○ More from Happymagenta: · Spyglass - outdoor GPS with augmented reality · Scany - WiFi scanner and network utility
