Cubelicious - make your way around this rotating cube and see how long you can survive!

My first ever Ludum Dare, hope you enjoy! I had a great time building this and my kids enjoy playing it so that's a win in my books :)

Instructions:
AD / left-right arrow keys, space to jump+double jump
Move about on the title screen to get a feel and then click "Start Game"

UPDATE: fixed bug where sometimes after your first game the physics couldn't work out where you were rotating to and you walked off the edge instead of around the corner.

Very nice!

An interesting take on the theme

I love this one! Only problem is that the player sticks to the walls to easily, annoying when you want to fall down.

Hehe, I often use that to save myself, but yeah some of those exits round the corner get tricky with the stickyness :)

A little dodgy when slamming my face into walls, but otherwise fun!

Cool idea, just wish the physics were more consistent. I'm not sure when I'm allowed to move after getting to a corner, and I managed to tunnel my way into the center of the cube from there.

What a simple, but great idea. Very atmospheric as well.

Hammers8 Dec 2014, 23:08

Really nice idea. Would love to see this explored further. I think you just need to tighten up the platforming controls a bit. Do that and you're onto a winner :)

Wow, this is a really cool game and I found myself being able to be lost in it! Nice work!

Audio and graphics are simple but they set up a great atmosphere. Game is too slow/boring at time though.

Nice game, I like the concept a lot, one of the better games that I have played so far, I have had some problems with getting around the corner whet the cube rotates on the visible Y axis, I end up with my player on a non visible side from the camera.

Loved the idea!

Sometimes the character is facing the wrong direction. But the game was very fun. Congratulations.

A great foundation! I understood the game the moment the cube started turning. Unfortunately, the corner physics are really glitchy. Like, game-breakingly glitchy. Almost every time I died, I died to the game not detecting that I was going around a corner.

FerraWare9 Dec 2014, 02:14

One of the best I've seen today!

mathmadlen9 Dec 2014, 04:05

Great concept, the design is also pretty nice!

spazzaramaauthor9 Dec 2014, 04:37

@dallonf I'll see if I can sort it, I believe that kind of fix is allowed after submission.

Awesome! A bit hard to switch between the sides :) But a great idea and nice execution.

survival time: 1m22s. I know I know, quite disappointing :p
fun game! great job!

SaintHeiser12 Dec 2014, 16:05

Not bad. But the game has strange physics. Often I fall of te walls.

Saf14 Dec 2014, 19:08

God job! Loved the gameplay ! the light on the wall sometimes confused me towards a top down game as the world was changing forms... Its a bit away from the theme, but is great nonetheless!
