The Game:
Sacred Cubes 2 is a simple physics based game made with Unity that is similar to Sacred Stones that we were given last Friday, except you get a whole new series of levels to complete; plus, enemies in the form of skeletons have been introduced. You have to destroy the enemies before they destroy you by completing the puzzles as in the original game, i.e. remove white blocks by clicking on them to bring the yellow blocks onto the platform without any red blocks touching the platform. Every time you complete a puzzle correctly you are awarded one of four spells, which can then be used to fight off the enemy (skeleton) by pressing the numbers 1 to 4. If a red cube hits the platform, health is returned to the skeleton.

The levels get progressively more complex and harder. The first several levels are very very easy to complete. Progress is not saved, so when you restart the game you start from the beginning.

Trying to remove the white blocked when the skeleton is in front of you seems impossible, possibly due to the collision mesh used in the game.

Notes on Security
The installed games size when zipped is over the allowed size to upload to Virus Total, however, removing the 20M text file, which has no function in the game I've been able to do a security check.

I scanned a zipped copy of the installed game and it found one hit (Cyclance) from 52 antimalware engines. I also scanned the removed text file and found zero hits from 59 security vendors.

The downloaded executable may include some low level adware that only opens your browser to Falcoware's home page after the game has installed and places four shortcuts onto your desktop (which can be safely deleted once the game has installed). The installation does not inject any malware into your system. When your browser is opened to Falcoware's home page when the game has been installed, it earns Falcoware games some money, part of which is given to the developer of the game for allowing the game to be given away free. You can see the results of the scan via the following link:

Other Free Games:
The latest games from Epic Games include Horizon Chase Turbo and Sonic Mania and will be available to add to your EPIC games library until Thursday 1st July at 4pm UK time/11am EST when a new set of games will be available to add to your accont. Since Epic Games started to gove away games I've accumulated over 270 games not counting duplicates, most of which are either AAA or high end indie arcade games.

Also from Epic, If you play online with friends there's a decent PvE/PvP free FPS game called Scavengers with a coop mode (I checked it out recently and it looks fantastic as well as plays well) and you can still get the clicker RPG Idle Champions as well as other multiplayer games. I've been posting redeemable codes for free chests that contain various buffs and other items for Idle Champions (time limited for 5 to 7 days from the day of posting) over in the forums HERE. They contain various items that boost your heroes abilities and health as well as affect your group of heroes in game, for example potions that boost health or DPS, contracts that can improve armour or weapons already used by the heroes or other contracts that add specific amounts of gold to your bank as well as items of jewellery, armour or weapons that buff your characters stats. I don't usually play clicker type games, but this one is well supported by the developer and has a massive following. I'll be posting codes for as long as I continue to play the game. I've posted some help sheets and links to a game wiki via the above link as well

It’s worth adding these links to your favourites and checking regularly for available freebies. Most are only free for a specific time. If you miss the deadline you’ll miss out.

You'll find hundreds of freeware games of all arcade and indie genres on Itch.io and Caimans Games as well as other sources. Please do check out the game discussion forums for older posts HERE (the sticky section is useful). Many of the earlier posts may be out of date with respect to the links I and others have provided to the free games; however, you only need to know the name of the game to find most of them via other sources. Many of those games from 2008 to around 2017 were posted as part of a project to supplement the lack of weekday games when the game giveaway went to weekend only games around Easter 2008 (mainly instigated due to the financial crisis of 2008) until November 2018 when Falcoware stepped into the weekday slot; however, from around 2015 onwards we did start to get the occasional Steam key for various games offered as limited giveaways, with a restriction on the number of keys available (anywhere from 25 to 2000+). These included over 60 decent AAA games and indie arcade games ; for example some of the better AAA games included , lucky Warhammer: Vermintide 1 & 2 plus DLC for version 2; Dreadlands, Mount & Blade: Warband, Immortal Unchained and Conan Exiles.
