MINDCUBES is a cheap game made with Unity. By cheap I mean not the price only but execution and the way it feels overall. It isn't the worst game out there, for sure, but I can't come up with the reason to play this instead of the other superior puzzle games.

I call puzzle-platformers my favorite genre. This game tends to be more of a puzzle one rather a platformer (I judge by my ~ 1 hour of playtime). Which better alternatives can I recommend you? The closest in terms of game mechanics are And Yet It Moves (2009), VVVVVV (2010) and FEZ (2013). Didn't play the first one and it's the most arguable recommendation in this short list but VVVVVV and FEZ are absolute masterpieces! Go play them instead of MINDCUBES.

The last thing I'd like to say is the number of achievements. **ck you who exploits this ****ty <cheap game + tons of achievements> model. MINDCUBES has 3 achievements per each level resulting in a total of 315. Not thousands of them but still way too many.

The Final Words

There are far better games out there so go play them instead. Your time is too precious to spend it on mediocrity. VVVVVV and FEZ are my recommendations.

Your review is misleading and missing its purpose. Not only you are clearly advertising other games, your comparison with VVVVVV and FEZ is also poor. Both games may be superior in execution but were initially, or still in much higher price classes.

Also, your argument about this one exploiting Achievements is also uninformed, since there are already games on Steam that are featuring up to 10k Achievements.
