Description: Destroy the cubes before they constrict to crush you in this 3D and VR capable casual puzzler. Designed with Virtual Reality in mind, but VR is not a requirement. It can be controlled with a Mouse, Gamepad, or using the Vive Motion Controllers. All modes support a 3D match-3 style puzzle experience where the cubes will constrict on you over time. A ping pong style game mode is also supported for those with Motion Controllers.
Review: Constricting Cubes is not just one game, but in fact, a small collection of games. There is a brick breaker game, a puzzle game and even a Tetris style game. While the same idea consists through all the game modes, the puzzle blocks get closer and closer to you and start to surround you and you need to get rid of them before you are crushed. Sometimes that is batting a ball to destroy them and sometimes that is moving bricks. While it is simple in both graphics and gameplay I still think this is worth a look. It only costs £0.79 and you will easily get your money’s worth out of it in gameplay time. Sure, it’s nothing amazing, but it is fun and sometimes that is all you need.
