Cube 27
Read full descriptionHide full description
Cube 27 takes the number-merging puzzle into three dimensions. The board is a cube of 27 cells: swipe, and every tile slides in one of six directions ā up, down and the four sides. Matching numbers merge on contact. Keep merging move after move and your chain grows, pushing the multiplier up; two, three or more merges in a single swipe make a combo. Waste a move and the chain snaps. That is where the tension lives. HOW TO PLAY ⢠Swipe anywhere: the tiles move that way. ⢠Double-tap to split the cube into its three layers and see inside; you can keep playing while they are apart. ⢠Turn the cube with the ā² ā³ buttons. ⢠"How to play" in the menu teaches you on the real cube in a minute. FEATURES ⢠Leaderboards: Week, Month and All time, with a podium for the top three and badges for the winners. ⢠Daily Cube: the same starting board for everyone, one attempt a day. ⢠Two jokers for tight spots: Undo takes back a move, the Bomb clears a tile and its neighbours. You pay with gold earned in the game, never with money. ⢠Shop: five themed collections of hats, glasses, accessories, shoes and faces, plus 18 podiums for your cube. ⢠Mystery chests drop onto the board while you play, and a gift waits every day; day seven brings a chest. ⢠Mastery ladder: skill goals inside a single game, each one paying gold. ⢠Reach 2048 and your own cube lands on top to celebrate, and the game goes on. ⢠Light and dark theme. Your unfinished game is kept. ⢠Game Center brings your progress back on a new phone (optional). ⢠12 languages: English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian and Traditional Chinese. PLAY OFFLINE No internet needed except for the leaderboard. No account and no in-app purchases: everything is earned by playing. There is a banner ad at the bottom of the screen, an occasional full-screen ad between games, and optional rewarded ads. Can you build 2048 before the cube fills up?
