About

the deCube

Read full description

the deCube is a satisfying 3D puzzle game where you tap bricks off a colorful block structure and match them by color — before your buffer fills up and it's game over. --HOW TO PLAY -- • Tap any removable brick to send it flying to your buffer • Match 3 bricks of the same color to clear them • Keep the buffer from filling up — 5 slots is all you get • Clear every brick in the stage to win --THINK BEFORE YOU TAP -- Not every brick can be removed. Only bricks that are accessible from the top or sides can be picked. Plan your moves carefully — one wrong pull can trap the colors you need and block your path to victory. -- FEATURES -- • Beautiful 3D brick structures you can rotate freely with a swipe • Many hand-crafted stages across multiple rounds, each with a unique shape and color layout • Clean, intuitive one-finger controls designed for mobile • Satisfying animations and stage-clear effects • Track your progress and unlock new stages Whether you have 2 minutes or 2 hours, the deCube delivers quick, addictive puzzle sessions that are easy to pick up and hard to put down. How far can you go?
