Lumiappaday #159: Rupix demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800

 Rupix is a Rubik’s Cube style game with a twist. Instead of a block of colours for each face, you have a design, the default one at the start being an impressive animated one.

The controls are very intuitive, just touch and rotate each portion of the Rupix cube, single finger to rotate or you can use two fingers to rotate and pinch to zoom. It’s very responsive.

You can choose various designs, even the classic colour blocks or make your own. Your blocks can also range from 2×2, 3×3 to 4×4.

This is a free game, and a nice twist on the classic. There’s a progress bar at the top to show how far you’ve come along.

Developer Blurb:

Mastered the Rubik’s cube? Looking for something challenging? Try Rupix.

Sticking an image on each face means that the rotation of the inner face now matters. For those who like a simpler game, the game can be configured to provide a 2x2x2 cube, insead of the default 3x3x3, or for advanced users, try the 4x4x4 cube.

Update 1.1: Fixed a bug causing cubes to only shuffle 2ce, leading to very easy to solve cubes. They now shuffle 10 times. Also fixed a bug where tapping the top left would attempt to solve the cube (and possibly freeze or crash)
