(29-08-2011, polished the game, added instructions and 3 more levels, try it here: www.martinf.dk/uncube/)
Unlock the cube by marking the 6 pieces on the board that could be folded into the cube.
Controls: Mark pieces with left mouse Rotate view with arrow keys
Work schedule: 1/2 hour brainstorm during family dinner 1 hour paper prototyping in train 8 1/2 hours of development (Would have been 3 without the extension which saved me)
That's really slick (and you definitely have a screenshot advantage ;) ). I was hoping it was procedurally generated, though, and would keep zooming indefinitely. Very pretty.
My mind was blown when there was a cube inside the cube. Too bad that happened only once. A "You Win" screen would be well-received, as I kept on clicking the sphere thinking the game was still on.
Very cool game, if you gave it a bit more polish it would be a great puzzle! Congratulations!
The plan was indeed to make it zoom multiple times and of cause have more than one level as well. I was considering procedural levels, but I think they do need a bit of design to control. Difficulty, pieces which almost look right, or correct pieces in wrong places, or even levels with a theme or certain visuals in the pieces and patterns would be tricky and time consuming to get right with procedural. However a tool that generates a board and a cube as a starting point would be very useful. When I get time I will make a few more levels, and add a bit more feedback. In game tutorial would also be good.
Is it allowed to just update my entry or should I place updates separately?
Could you post a non-web-player version of this? Based on other Unity games I have seen in this competition, the Unity web plugin cannot be installed on Linux, but a standalone Windows Unity game works fine on Linux using wine.
I liked it - agree with everyone (I think) that in-game instructions would have helped a lot. Would have liked more challenging gameplay, that's a good thing :)
Fun idea, although a little too short. Very nice on graphics. However, I don't see the source anywhere? This is a compo entry, right? :/ In your journal you write about entering the jam, and there's no source to be found, but I'm rating this as a compo entry...

Sorry Andrew, I am aware that the game badly needs some ingame intructions.
