Read full description

The gameplay is well known, but never before was it in 3D. Have you become a little curious? With "Cube Destroyer 3D" you get a high-quality augmented reality app, with which you will find yourself against a mysterious cube. In that cube, after each round, more and more small cubes are created. Those are to be destroyed during the course of the game before they fall out of the main cube. "Cube Destroyer 3D" requires a lot of strategy and spatial imagination. You can move freely around and in the cube to find an optimal launch position. The game also provides a preview of what the rebound angle will be like. Intermediate game levels are saved so you can interrupt the game at any time. GameCenter always updates your score. Thus, you can compete with all other players in the world. Use the settings menu. Here you will find configuration options such as the direction of light, the visual preview of the angle, music, sound and texture options. All graphic 3D elements are of the highest quality. As always, this game will be without in-app purchases or annoying ads to help you get a nice product. We wish you a lot of fun with this AR title.
