About

Kubik

Features
Read full description

Kubik is a colorful sliding-tile puzzle. A 5x5 board holds 24 colored tiles and one empty square. Slide the tiles until the 3x3 area in the middle of the board matches the small target pattern — that's the whole game, and it takes about ten seconds to understand. PLAY ALONE Pick Easy, Medium or Hard and solve at your own pace. Your time and move count are tracked, and your personal best is remembered on your device. Unlimited undo, so a wrong move is never the end of a run. PLAY AGAINST FRIENDS - Duel: two players, the same board, first to finish the pattern wins the round. Play a single game or best of 3 or 5. - Triple Race: three players race the same board. The round stays open past first place so second and third are recorded too, with points across five rounds and a medal podium at the end. Share a room with a link or let a friend scan the QR code — no accounts, no sign-up, no email address. MADE TO BE PLAYED ANYWHERE - Six languages: English, Hebrew, Arabic, French, Spanish and German, with full right-to-left support. - Colour-blind mode puts a distinct shape on every tile, so colour is never the only thing telling them apart. - Three tile looks, sound and music you can switch off, and haptic feedback. - Single player works offline. Kubik was built by Itay Finish.
