Have You Played The Cubefield Game?

By Sonia Michalik


The object of Cubefield is to travel through a space populated with cubes and try to avoid hitting any. It is a fun, interesting, and addicting arcade game. It is played using the left and right arrow keys. If any cube is hit even once, the game ends. This is a deceptively easy and very addicting platform that is lots of fun to use.

Cubefield is a flash game using a flash player for graphics and animation. Flash games usually contain relatively simple graphics and animation, focusing more on skill and ability. This interface is no exception to this definition. The graphics are not complex and the focus is on ability instead of the details.

The display is very interesting in this three-dimensional environment. The screen appears to tilt and move with you. This makes for more interesting game play as it makes it more difficult to avoid the cubes that appear in front of you. You need to move back and forth quickly to stay alive. When playing, you almost feel as if you are actually in the game.

The points scored add up at a quick pace. This is nice because play flows more smoothly and instills a sense of satisfaction. Since play ends fairly quickly, it is nice to be able to gain some points. Each game is over fairly fast which allows users to pick it up quickly as they play it over and over.

Once the pattern of cube placement is studied and learned, game play becomes easier. Most games contain set patterns of object placement. Cubes can only be arranged so many numbers of ways and the levels are going to appear in the same places in each level. Once a level is played so many times, it becomes easier to see the patterns.

The game is played with against a bland, gray background populated with brightly colored cubes. This makes the cubes easily identifiable, but also difficult to avoid. Your eyes are drawn to the bright colors, making you more likely to hit the cubes. The cubes are placed in front, to the left, and to the right of you. It seems as soon as you avoid one, another one immediately appears.

The speed of gameplay is set perfectly. It is not so slow as to become boring or less of challenge. It is not so fast as to be too much of a challenge. The pace allows it to be a challenge to both the novice and expert players. While it will be much more difficult to a novice player, a more experienced player will face his own challenges.

Deceptively simple and addicting, the game fits the profile of a typical flash game. It is surprisingly entertaining to travel through space trying not to hit any cube. A player will want desperately to make it as far as he can get. This is more easily said than done and adds to the challenge and fun of it. This is very fun for players of any age and ability level. Anyone can learn the game and practice their own techniques and strategies to obtain the highest score. Most people who play it will want to keep playing and develop their skills.
