Game Review: Cubis Creatures

    Hey, everyone. I finished Notch 7 last night, in the wee hours. Of course, I still have to type it, proof it, send it to Smashwords and Amazon etc. Still, I have found time to play a new game which I bought for 99 cents. It is the above -mentioned Cubis Creatures and it is a good game. You can actually get a free version of this game but I was flush with cash on this particular day so I sprang for the 99 cent version. Ha, ha.
    When I get aggravated with the shooters, on which I get stuck, I like to play puzzle games and this is one of the better ones. That said, it has a Biology class feel to it because it looks as though you are performing surgery on a furry creature who has the misfortune to be infested with brightly colored cubes. But hey, my Granny kept her kidney stones on the mantel in a jelly jar, so I can deal with this.
    Here's the recipe. There are 80 levels, with more puzzle packs available. There is a grid inside the creature's belly. As cubes appear, the player must slide them to the appropriate 'lane' and then tap the screen to shoot the cube into the grid. When you match three, similarly colored cubes, they disappear. The grid is 3D and you can shoot cubes under other cubes, at times. There are stone cubes, which you need to blast with lasers. There are 'osmosis' cubes which pulsate with energy and have the power to change the color of the cube they contact. Plus, wonder upon wonders for all you shooter dudes, there are bomb cubes which explode and clear out a mess of other cubes. There are 'fractured' cubes which shatter when you slide your cube into them. These sorts of changes in the game keep it fun as you go along.
    One thing I don't like is the fact that the games are timed. When you get down to 15 seconds, it goes click, click, click. Argh!, the pressure!
    This is a game you'll enjoy, I wager. Try the free version and then you will likely splurge, as I did, and get the full version.
