    The design concepts, level variety, and engaging gameplay are elements that outweigh the failings. Puzzle title enthusiasts shouldn’t have a problem footing the bill for the game, but be weary if this stuff usually isn’t your cup of tea.

    Cuboid is definitely an entertaining game in its own right, but the lack of content, useful leaderboards, and custom soundtracks makes this a game that’s just not worth the $10 price tag.

    This interesting puzzle game is a great challenge but not a great value.

    If you want fun, play Elefunk, but for a sterner challenge, Cuboid is your man. [Apr 2009, p.94]

The game is very basic - you are a block that moves around squares to get to the exit. Sounds easy, but once you get to playing the game you'll find that it is, frankly, rather challenging. You can fall off the edge if your not careful which means you start at the beginning, which will make you learn which way to take next time. The game starts off reletavly easy but the further you progress the harder it gets, and it really does get hard at times. There is nothing more satisfying than moving around a level, trying new routes to the exit and being completely stumped, only for the solution to hit you like a flying pork pie. Its immensly satisfying, and is one of the charms of Cuboid. Its got loads of replay value as well as you'll always go back to earn a gold medal on a level where you earned a silver, or try to unlock trophies if that's your thing. Anyone who remembers Kula World on PSone will know what they are getting here, as they are kinda' similar, but I urge you to look at reviews for this game and watch the videos on the internet. What you see is basically what you get, and at £7.99 its an absolute bargain and one of my best purchases off PSN.… Full Review »

    Not a bad puzzler but I can't help falling asleep with these kinds of games. A simple game that reminds me of my childhood. Definitely a good value.
