Cubot - The Complexity of Simplicity

I’m not 100% sure how I found this game but I was browsing around and saw that it was supposedly a very easy puzzle game. It was a very easy completion, granted, but it’s not an easy game but I’ll get on to that a bit later on.

Cubot is a puzzle game where you have to use the left stick to rotate blocks in different directions to get them into a set position. There are ten different puzzle sets each containing 8 puzzles which grow in complexity as you progress through them.

I managed to get to the fourth puzzle set before utilising the need of guide but I have to say that after a certain point, the complexity of the puzzles turns it into the most convoluted game of trial and error I’ve ever seen. I mean, if you have a mind that can move three blocks in three different directions around a 3D playing field comprising over 20 different moves just by looking at the puzzle, then you are genius who is wasting his time playing a game when you could be solving worldwide issues with the economy and global relations. Or be a scientist in the space program.

Achievements – 1,000 Points – 10 Achievements

It’s a pretty straightforward achievement list to accompany the game. There is an achievement each for the various puzzle beds and that’s it.

Cubot is a simple game in terms of what you have to do but actually working out the solutions to problems would be hours upon hours of doing the same thing to figure out the correct pattern to solve it and this would also involve countless resets. In my opinion, it is nigh on impossible to work out the right pattern by playing some of the puzzles. The only real solution is knowing what to do.
