  • Description
  • Controls
  • Earth, the year 3025. After surviving a series of global catastrophes, humanity managed to avoid extinction and build a truly perfect society. But suddenly, a new threat emerged. Through a wormhole, Earth was drawn into a war between two powerful civilizations controlling thousands of galaxies beyond the visible part of the universe. The small planet held no interest for them, but the people caught in the crossfire faced total annihilation. Humanity had nothing to counter the aggression that had descended upon them. There was only one option left: to try to survive. Billions of cyborgs living alongside humans were retrained for a new task — the art of war...*

Cubix

  • ZX Spectrum 128K
 
  • Development: Gogin
  • Country: Russia
  • Description
  • Controls
  • The First-Ever 3D Platformer for the ZX Spectrum!

    The game takes place in the distant universe, where the laws of geometry and physics were subject to symmetry and harmony, there lived an amazing people - the Cubics. Their world was built of perfect cubes: cubic towers rose into a cubic sky, cubic cities shimmered with cubic features. At the heart of this world lay the Sacred Talisman - a magical die that radiated balance and order.

    But one day, a mysterious villain appeared from the Shadow Dimension - Hexatron, the Lord of Chaos. He hated the perfection of the Cubics and wanted to bring disorder to their harmony. Hexatron stole the Talisman and, using dark magic, split it into six separate faces. Each was hidden at the top of a Great Tower, filled with labyrinths, traps and trials.

    Our hero - Bix - an ordinary Cubic who somehow escaped the curse, decides to challenge fate, resolving to climb each of the towers, overcome the treacherous trials, collect each fragment of the Talisman and restore it to order. Only then will Hexatron be banished and peace returned to his people.

    The game genre is a puzzle platformer with elements of metroidvania. The game has 6 large locations ("towers"), unlike each other, more than 10 various game mechanics, cute characters and mind-blowing logical puzzles. As the game progresses, the main character gains more and more abilities, allowing him to pass the "towers" non-linearly (i.e. in different ways and routes), the mechanics of the towers change, and the complexity of the puzzles increases.*

КлириЯ23.08.2025плохо, не сглаживает ситуацию и тот факт что автор в 16к втиснул сей "шедевр", ибо как мне кажется конкурс это не про то "как сделать поменьше" а про то "как сделать лучше", ну зоть лучше генеральской атаки и за это спасибо, хотя хорошего мало
