About

Magic Cube Simulator

Features
Read full description

Magic Cube Simulator is a hands-on 3D twisty puzzle that behaves like a cube in front of you. Turn a layer and it follows your finger in real time. Roll the whole cube to inspect another side, pinch to zoom, or use several fingers to move multiple layers at once. Each move is matched by sound and haptic feedback. Fluid animation, vivid colors, and stylized lighting keep the cube clear from every angle. The interface keeps the controls within reach without crowding the cube. Choose 2Ɨ2, 3Ɨ3, 4Ɨ4, or 5Ɨ5. Work out each solution at your own pace, or use the timer and move counter while you try for a faster solve. Your three best results are recorded separately for every size. Scramble any cube when you want a new starting point. Undo moves one at a time, or reset and begin again. Graphics, sound, and haptics can be adjusted in Settings. The game supports 13 languages and works offline. It has no ads, account sign-in, or in-app purchases. Made by a two-person independent team.
