Honorable Mention CUBE

General Description

Title CUBE
Platform Nintendo DS
Position HAL OSAKA
Prize CUBE PROJECT

Reason for the Honorable Mention

This title is an action game, but it is unique in that the character can move along the surface of a three-dimensional cube.
The stage is drawn on a 3D cube and there are the following two operation systems.
 
(1) Move the character
(2) View the stage while turning the cube
 
This provides both the elements of an action game and the solving of a puzzle to achieve playability at a high level.
 
As the game progresses, it moves from stages with easy to remember actions to difficult stages, so you learn the operations while advancing through the game.
 
In addition, each cube surface has a gravity direction.
However, the gravity will reverse if you turn the cube while dropping it!
The later stages are designed to be cleared by using this gimmick.
 
Each surface has the feel of a 2D game, so the sense of playing a 3D game by challenging 2D games is new.
The fusion of technology and sensation make this a very novel title.
