“A simple, beginner’s puzzle. But it gets the point across. Overall, I enjoyed the game. The difficulty has a nice, but challenging, ramp. Not every level is quickly solved, still, beating it doesn’t take long. There’s…”

“A review can not express how this game makes you feel. Play it and it will calm you down, make you happy, and relax. If you have two dollars, stop reading this review, buy the game and play it for yourself.”
“A clever little puzzler I got in a bundle and is one of many 'simple to understand, yet hard to master.' That said, once you get the trick of it, then it is pretty straight forward with a few little twists, but nothing…”

“Good game. Simple yet complicated puzzle play. I like the simplicity of the platform and the music (:”
“In terms of puzzlers, Cubot is one of the greatest on Steam. It has a clean, beautiful aesthetic with a relaxing soundtrack to soothe your guaranteed frustration. The last level requires some Olympic-level mental…”

“Adding smartass quotes in the game does not change that its still a boring trial and error time consuming old puzzle game.”
“Very slow paced. Very basic gameplay. Bad soundtrack. This isn't original, and can be played for free in a browser.”
“Game about cubes. You roll them, get them to designated spot and that's it. Some cubes are moving 2 tiles at a time - you can't tell which one though because they all looks the same! Fair warning - very boring plus…”

“"Nice little 3D Cube Puzzler, but also a little bit too sterile sometimes" Ok I must admit after playing Innercube, Cubot was a little bit too easy for me. Innercube has six different colored sided cubes, but Cubot…”
“This game might be fun for my 8 year olds, but for me the music and sound effects are all so abrasive it ruined the relaxed mood that this game could have created. Sure I could mute it and turn on my own music, but a…”

“I did not enjoy this game. Fortunately, it was short. I found the noises the game made very annoying, and the soundtrack was very plain. The puzzles were made tedious by a lack of "undo" button, or a quick restart…”

“So I found this today and decided why not, cheap price and I love puzzle games, why not indeed. This a a complex puzzler that cloaks itself in its minimalistic artwork and relatively simple mechanics and delivers a very challenging game that makes you feel like an idiot because…”
— a player, Steam review · 2 hrs played“A must for puzzler fans especially at the low base price. Basically you move all your blocks at the same time and there are different colors of blocks that behave differently per turn. The trick is getting them all at the right spots to complete the level/puzzle optimally. Very…”

It is challenging(If you're not some smart-ass dude with an IQ of 150+) and wants you to think different, like those Riddles where you have to think…”
