One cube. Nine circles. Your clock. Rubiq turns the classic twisty cube into something you've never seen: every sticker is also a dot where two circles cross. Nine circles, one for every slice. Turn the 3D cube and its circle spins; drag a circle and the cube turns with it. Two views, one puzzle, always in sync. BEAT THE CLOCK • The timer starts on your first twist and stops the instant the cube is solved • Personal bests and averages of 5 for every size and difficulty • Pause anytime; the cube hides so nobody can peek PLAY YOUR WAY • 2Ɨ2, 3Ɨ3 and 4Ɨ4 cubes • Warm-up (3 twists), Easy (6 twists) or a full Classic scramble • Drag stickers on the cube, or drag and tap circles in the graph • Undo, restart, and Auto-solve to watch every twist rewind DAILY CHALLENGE • One shared scramble for everyone, every day • Hit par, keep your streak alive and climb the daily leaderboard CHALLENGE FRIENDS • Finished a solve?
