Review #002: Flash 3D Logic

LINK: www.thatvideogamesite.com

That dude who invented the Rubix cube — you know, Mr. Rubix — haunted my dreams back in the eighties when it was all I could do to put that freakin’ toy out of my mind. I mentally mashed myself on that thing, repeatedly, and yet was never able to get more that two sides complete before the ultimately disappointing twist that would ruin it all. Don’t you even dare challenge me on it though. I’ve pounded people for far less.

If Rubix were a Flash coder today, rather than some freakin’ nineteen-eighties saddistic engineer, he might have invented 3D Logic. As it is he wasn’t — and he didn’t — but the correlation is thus drawn.

This game has been my passion lately, and though I can’t recall exactly where I stumbled upon it, it has now consumed enough of my temporal resources to be considered a true threat to my productivity.

I guess that makes it a winner.

The objective is simple: the player gets to see three sides of a rotating cube that has been sub-divided into a rubix-like grid (sometimes 3×3, sometimes 4×4, sometimes… you get the point.) Some of the sub-squares are coloured pairs: for example, there will be two red squares, two blue squares, two purple squares, etc. The player, by a click-to-activate kind of concept is required to join the pairs to each other, matching red to red by a trail of red-activated squares. Simple in concept, but as the levels progress the path becomes far less obvious.

ANDY’S SCORE: Four Rubix Cubes out of Five.
