Twist a 3D cube. Line up the colors. Watch them blast! Cubean is a puzzle game played on the entire surface of a spinning 3D cube. Drag to twist a whole row or column - colors travel around the cube's edges, and when they line up, they pop in a satisfying cascade. What's hiding on the other side? Rotate and find out. TAKE YOUR TIME No countdown. No pressure. Campaign levels give you a set number of twists and all the time in the world to spend them. Turn the cube, look around, plan the big one. YOUR CUBE GROWS WITH YOU Start on a tiny 2x2 cube and grow it level by level to a 15x15 giant across 300 levels. Every 10 levels brings a reward chest. Every chapter makes your cube visibly bigger. TWIST ACROSS THE EDGES Matches aren't stuck on one side. Colors connect around corners and edges - the whole cube is one puzzle. Rotate to reveal hidden lines and plan bigger blasts. SPECIAL CUBES Clear five in a row and a Ring Rocket appears. Six makes a Cube Bomb, seven a Star Cube. Set one off beside your next match and watch the chain travel around the cube. FOUR WAYS TO WIN Hit a score. Collect a color. Chain a combo. Bloom every rose cube. Levels keep changing what they ask of you, and Time Rush drops in now and then when you want the clock back. A REASON TO COME BACK - Weekly League: thirty players, one week, promotion for the top ten - Live events: Color Hunt through the week, Star Rush at the weekend - Cube Garden: finish a chapter and plant something in it - Piggy Bank: quietly saves a quarter of every coin you earn by playing NO LIVES. NO WAITING. NO ADS. Out of moves? Just try again - instantly. Cubean never locks you out of your own game, and never interrupts it with an advert. FEATURES - 300 levels, from cozy 2x2 to epic 15x15 cubes - 4 goal types plus timed Time Rush levels - Combo chaining up to x10 - chain twists, not stopwatches - Rose cubes to bloom for bonus stars - Boosters: Time Slower, Cube Bomb, Color Magnet - Endless Rush and a Daily Challenge when you do want a clock - Game Center leaderboards: Weekly Score, Total Stars, Best Combo - Colorblind-friendly mode and haptic feedback - Soft clay design that's easy on the eyes Twist. Match. Blast. How big can your cube get?
