Kyub is a puzzle arcade game which requires you to use your brainpower to solve puzzles. As much as it is a test of your problem solving skills, it also tests your reflexes to escape traps. It’s easy to pick up but definitely quite challenging to complete.
According to the developers, puzzle games are seeing a revival on consoles and Kyub is taking the lead. Move the main cube, called Kyub, which is the highlight of the game and use its abilities to solve devious puzzles and escape malicious traps. Switch between action and puzzle phases where you manipulate other cubes to climb walls and destroy obstacles with lasers or activate switches to trigger new paths. Protect yourself and change the Kyub’s status to become immune to the elements. Master the Kyub and discover all its insane possibilities.
Design your journey at slow pace or furiously fast rhythm. However, always be wise and creative because memory, reflexes and rapid execution are the keys to completing each challenge. Die a lot, unlock secrets, collect every medal, and be the fastest among your friends on leaderboards. With more than eighty levels the mysterious world of Kyub offers simple mechanics yet a deep gameplay with thousands of combinations.
Kyub was a concept born in France in the minds of young students, exported and improved in Japan. Martin Schemidt, the French director of Kyub said, “The simplest games are often the deepest. Kyub gives you creative challenges to use your right and left brain. It means fun. Everyone can have a grasp of Kyub but mastering it takes skill.”
