Our take on Magicube
Its deliberate puzzle structure gives up spontaneous platforming flow: movement, jumping, and casting require planned inputs. Fixed controls also limit customization, keeping the experience focused on solving its 50 levels rather than adapting to different control preferences.
What is Magicube?
Magicube is a magical puzzle platformer made with PICO-8, featuring 50 levels centered on deliberate movement and problem-solving.
The game uses arrow keys for movement, Z to jump, and X with a direction to cast. The down arrow undoes an action, while holding the up arrow restarts the level. Enter opens the menu. Options include sound on or off and windowed or fullscreen display. Controls cannot be reassigned.
