Cubyrinth is an atmospheric Puzzle/Exploration game.
If you quickly want to know what it's all about, check the Youtube video below!
The level is constructed like a Rubik's Cube, where every sections can lead you anywhere if you choose the right button to press.
The game is compatible with Oculus Rift and firstly attend to be an impressive concept in VR, it's playable without an Oculus Rift too. Right now the experience is still a bit nauseous in VR, we recomend you to test without the Oculus if you play for an extended time. We will fix it later and add a proper version on Oculus Share!
---------
Theme: we chose to focus on "Two Buttons" theme, any action you can make is with pressing a two buttons terminal.
---------
Controls: WASD (or ZQSD) and mouse to move, shift to run, space to jump, mouse click to activate buttons. You can also use a X360 controller (A to press button, X to jump, trigger to run and back to reset Oculus position).
---------
Directions: You have to open the 3 doors on the bridge in order to complete the game. These 3 doors need to be openned in the right order (since opening one closes the way to another one). The first one is in a sci-fy styled room, the second after a big labyrinth and the third after a serie of jumps from the high pillars. All of these door openers are accessible from the first section (the one with the red tower) so you mainly have to run across section 2 and section 3 to unlock the right paths. We also left some unexpected routings with funny exlpoits when we realized how hard the game will be! :)
---------
Challenge: there is a chrono at the end of the level if you want to speedrun it! Kezhaar did it in 15 minutes so try and beat him!
Known bugs: nauseous in VR, buttons can be hard to focus, there is a lacking respawn point that can make you spawn upside down. Please tell us in the comments if you find more so that we can fix them in a future version.
Yep, "Two Buttons" is because every terminal in the puzzle has two buttons. Enjoy this mind breaking little level ! Try it in VR if you have an Oculus.
You should be able to control it "FPS Style" (QSDZ, shift for run, space for jump, mouse click for interaction) or with an Xbox 360 controller.
Really cool idea and nice production. The mood fits perfectly with the gameplay.
Controls seems a little bit on the slippery side.
Maybe you should block the player while the cube is rotating tho, cause i managed to pass from the "factory" to the "labyrinth" while the cube was rotating :) Death after that spawned me upside down ^^
nicso : thanks for the review :D obviously it's a lot buggy and I did not have tome to playtest it enough, glad you liked it though. I have the same feedback for the controls, we used the Oculus FPS Controller and it could be improved a bit.
Directions : you have to go at the top of the blue tower :p Keep at it, kezhaar who knows the route by heart does it in 10 / 15 min :p - tentacode (logged in as kezhaar for voting).
There is a chrono at the end, anyone wants to speedrun it ? We challenge you !
Pretty great puzzle design! Played it in my DK2. Sadly the default first-person movement system is a bit too nauseating for me to play for extended periods, so I had to stop after 10 minutes. I might come back to it later because it did look very interesting.
For information, you have to open 3 doors in order to complete the game. This 3 doors need to be open in the right order (since opening one close the away to another one) The first one is in a scify styled room, the second after a big labyrinth and the third after a serie of jumps from high pillars. All of these door openers are accessible from the first section ( the one with the red tower ), so you mainly have to run across section 2 and section 3 to unlock the right paths.

I think that the game itself seems well made given the time constraints. My biggest critique would be that the graphics are a bit too simple, I think you could have tweaked the shaders to give it more polish and appeal.
Also not entirely sure about how it fits into the theme (oh wait, is it because the screen thing has two buttons on it?)
