CUBE is a one-tap arcade climber. Your cube bounces from wall to wall on its own — tap to make it jump, and time it right to bounce higher. Miss, and you fall. The climb gets harder as you go: spikes, swinging pendulums, sliding blocks, and gates that flick open and shut. One hit ends the run. Connect Game Center to see how your best stacks up against everyone else. Free to play, with ads.
