Demo Friend - Q.U.B.E. (PC)

Extrusion, not extraction. We're extruding blocks all up in here. Extracting them would be silly.

Now you're thinking with Qubes.

It's kinda sad that Portal has set the standard for these kinds of games to be "funny" story-based romp through room after room of puzzles.

When something like this comes along that tries to be a little bit different, reviewers hate it.

"this game isn't shouting at me and calling me fat while i try to do switch puzzles 6/10"

Also, I think that if they had added story it would have been too much like portal, I kind like the silent ambiance of the game without dialogue and think that it works better the way it is.

@animtr83 The colours are bright and bold enough to be easily distinguishable. Colourblind people don't see in grayscale, you know!

@rlfletcher Oh thank goodness. It not just me.

Actually the first game I thought of when I saw this video is Mirror's Edge. All the white with the brightly colored things you interact with just scream ME to me.

@Alucula It's been around for a while, but Portal brought it into the mainstream eye.

Now this ball here, this is the first time we've seen anything thats not a sphere.

I don't think that is how you are meant to solve that last puzzle there.  So good job for finding an alternate way of doing it.

@FEfan56 Ironically, when a game DOES give them what they want, the response will be " This game is clearly just a poor rip-off of Portal 3/10". It's a no-win situation when a game is even minimally influenced by an extremely popular game

I'm not surprised that this game looks a lot like the Portal series. But then again once a successful idea is used it is bound to be copied and create a troupe or meme (Intelligent Qube, Portal, Mirror's Edge, You Me and the Cubes, Edge) Qube does look really interesting though and the ideas shown in this demo make me care very little about the visual comparisons to Portal and Portal2. I don't like the sound design though it sounds like you're running around Techniquest or a ball pool.

This game reminds me of Intelligent Qube on the PS1.

Holy cow, I remember when I saw this on ModDB a few years back. Glad to see them pull through on this.
