There is only one reason for this game to use the look and name of the Rubik's Cube -- and that's to deceive people into buying it, expecting the actual puzzle to be related to the original somehow.

This is a cheaply made piece of garbage that is really only appropriate as a freebie item in a Happy Meal or something. The references to "sticker peeling fun" above are funny, because these stickers will peel themselves off the cube after a few weeks. Also, its voice/sounds were recorded with a really low sampling rate, resulting in that background static noise that is the hallmark of the crappiest electronic toys out there. It's a grating sound that makes you want to turn it off after 30 seconds. Pressing the buttons to make the warning sounds stop is more an exercise in pain-avoidance than game play.

This is a swindle, pure and simple.

It looks like a first-iteration Menger sponge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menger_sponge

Might even be feasible to make a real-world puzzle from the second iteration. And if you need the extra kick, there's always a next level. :)

I liked the original one. What are these 6 new games about?
