The classic 3x3 and 2x2 cube, flattened: see all six faces at once, as colored dots on circles. Every move is a real cube move, so the puzzle is exactly as deep as the one in your drawer. It just looks different, and it fits under your thumb. Free to play, with no ads. Drag an outer circle to turn a face, or a dashed middle circle to slide a middle layer. See it as a cube, too Tap the cube button while you play and a small 3D cube shows the same position, turn by turn. Drag it to look around. You still play on the circles. Hints that never get lost Turn on hints and the circle to move lights up with arrows, plus a "moves to go" count. A built-in solver reads the current state, so if you take a wrong turn it plans a new short route from where you are. No notation to learn. A new puzzle every day The daily and weekly puzzles are the same for everyone, on the 3x3 and the 2x2. Your first try is ranked on its own Game Center leaderboard, free to see right in the app; finish in the top three of five or more players for a medal on your profile. After that, practice it as often as you like. Optional reminders come before a puzzle ends, when a new weekly starts, and before your day streak ends. Medals and achievements Challenges for every cube and difficulty: beat the clock, use few moves, match the solver's move count, or solve blind from memory. Earn bronze, silver and gold, and 20 achievements (also in Game Center). Some achievements unlock new color themes.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cube2D at none against Cube Orbit's 9. Cube2D also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Cube Orbit's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 9 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
