Cube Swipe

Read full description

Cube Swipe is a calm, beautiful puzzle about putting a cube back together. The board looks like a 3D cube, but it's all flat: tiles in three colors that you turn in groups of three. Swipe in a circle over a group to turn it, and rebuild the cube with yellow on top, red on the left and blue on the right. It's easy to learn and hard to put down. • 50 levels that grow with you, from 2Ɨ2Ɨ2 to 4Ɨ4Ɨ4 (and a little secret at the end) • Earn up to 3 stars per level by solving in fewer moves • Stuck? A hint shows exactly where to swipe, and unused hints are saved for later • Free play: pick a size and difficulty for endless shuffles • Build your own: paint the tiles and create your own challenge • Soft, relaxing sounds and gentle haptics • Light and dark themes • Works fully offline. No ads, no accounts, no tracking • English and Spanish Inspired by the Propp Lozenge, the magnetic puzzle invented by James Propp and designed by Oskar van Deventer. Made with care by BluBer Games.
