About this game
Puzzle Cube was initially developed as a game jam entry for the theme "Life in 2 Dimensions". It provides a variation on the challenge of solving the 3x3 cube, by limiting the view of the 3D cube to a 2D perspective and limiting the controls somewhat. The cube can be manipulated to any of the possible configurations that a Rubik's Cube* can.
This current version of Puzzle Cube has been developed and is being published as a resume piece. Because of this, it will always be free! With enough interest, development will continue, adding more features to the game.
