“Original mind bending puzzle with great graphics”

by Nick Mead

Pyracubes is a new game puzzle which challenges you to build levels of blocks without blocking yourself in!

Your aim is to guide King Theban through 160 catacombs as you group the PyraCubes together and use their energy against them. You're assisted in your quest with Powerful Talismans which will assist you through the maze. To remove the blocks, you have to eliminate all those which are the same color. The problem is that you only have a few moves to do so which means the game is both challenging but incredibly frustrating at the same time. Furthermore, you also have to overcome obstacles that stand in the way of your blocks in your efforts to reach the next level. For a mind bending puzzle game, the developers have put an awesome amount of time on the graphics. The are some great special effects although the soundtrack becomes very annoying and you'll be better to play your own music whilst playing it.

This is probably one of the most visually impressive mind bending games you'll play although be prepared to take your time playing it as the difficulty level is high right from the start

Deep within Mobib's pyramid, hundreds of ancient PyraCubes spark with malevolent energy. Mobib has harnessed this energy to turn our beloved leader, King Theban, into a lowly beetle.

Help Theban in his quest through 160 catacombs as you group the PyraCubes together and use their energy against them! Powerful Talismans will assist you through the mind-boggling puzzles of the PyraCubes! It's challenging and tricky brain-teasing fun!
