In Brief:
Mr Cube is an endless runner game. Navigate the cube through the obstacles and traps without crashing into any obstacles. Use the WASD keys to move left right, up and down to avoid those obstacles, I dare you.

You can see a video of game play HERE.
The Game:
Mr Cube is another colourful, but bare bones graphic runner game that we've not seen here on the giveaway project. The game starts off relatively slow, but will speed up after you've progressed a while; and gradually becomes steadily harder to survive. ;)

Runner games are not my cup of tea, but this is mainly due to my reactions being much slower as I've aged. Usually I rarely get past more than maybe 30 or so seconds at the most before becoming a cropper in such games; though I have enjoyed the occasional runner game, especially if the graphics look decent, e.g. Jungle Run.

Download it and see what you think?

Conclusion:
I found the initial stages fairly easy to navigate once I'd got used to the perspective, which was an issue initially as I found it hard to see where the cube was in relation to the four marker cubes. The game is presented in an isometric viewpoint.

Once you've sussed the perspective, the initial speed of the game should be navigated relatively easily, but as it speeds up, it's much harder to survive. Still, as a short time waster, I reckon this one is worth downloading. Don't let the basic graphic put you off; it's the game play and challenge that matters :)

p.s. the last image that says I've survived for 1000 seconds is not my screen capture; borrowed it from the developers page on itch.io

Notes on Security

I scanned a zipped copy of the installed game using Virus Total and it found zero hits from 60 antimalware engines. You can see the results of the scan via the following link:

I like the game but it does not show the cumulative score during the game. No score until the end so there is no way to know where you stand until the game is over.

Stephen A Herring,

Good point; a lot of these runner games do give an indication of your progress; however, the lack of any indication is typical of a lot of cheap unity based games. I believe if the intro splash screen just says Unity; which this does, it's the free version (though you can update the free version with asset packs that do cost money.

Normally I try to keep the positive when it comes to reviewing the games, but I hardly call this a game, It's more like a technical demo or unfinished product. The game does have the scrolling appeal of space ship shooters such as Zaxxon and ViewPoint but after 5 minutes I just gave up and moved on.

There really is not much here to see and we've been given better games away that were indies and brain teasers.

sailorbear510 aka Jason,

Hi J, I think this was made using the free version of Unity as the initial splash screen just says Unity. Usually the paid for versions such as the LTS version will give some indication e.g. Personal Edition, that it's not the free version. That said, you can buy assets for any of the versions that are available. I think the Unity game engine gets quite a bashing, but I've seen both appalling games made with Unity and really well constructed and interesting games using the engine.

b.t.w. Just out of interest, as I know you are involved in game development; what sort of game engine does your development house use when making games. Do you use a variety of such applications, or are you tied to any particular engine; or have you created your own engine?
