This game was inspired by another game jam game I encountered while participating in Ludum Dare 45 called The Mystery Box. The game revolved around the concept of solving a puzzle on a cube similar to the puzzles you may see in an escape room. I wanted to take the elegance of the cube and map a more arcade-style game to it. I looked at different 2D games I loved and thought about which could be fun when mapped to a cube. For some time, I considered Chess, but I decided upon Minesweeper as the base of the game. I wanted the player to need to rotate the cube a lot rather than using the Minesweeper strategy of selecting adjacent tiles. To do this, I created new tile types that would give information about the opposite side or force the player to rotate to a random side of the cube. This prototype has a lot of room to grow. If I have the time to work on it again I’d love to add varying levels of difficulty and switching around the mechanics a bit.
