User Reviews for Cube Runner
Love this game!
Cube runner has been one of my all-time favorites. I’m only giving it 5 stars because of the nostalgia I have for this game. The new update that was just released after no updates for 10 years is a disaster. The game goes from vertical gameplay to horizontal gameplay, the graphics somehow got worse, and the zen gameplay is just a participation-trophy style of play. After 5 minutes of play, I seriously regret updating the app. I used to still play this game on my phone pretty regularly after 9 years of faithfully using iPhones and the iPod Touch but I’m not so sure I’ll be playing it much anymore.
Many problems already
It’s amazing that you guys took time to update the game again after years but there’s already a lot of problems. First, the old music is completely gone! That music holds some great nostalgia and it felt more fitting than the current music so it would be nice to have an option to toggle the new music and the old one. Also, when pausing, your speed resets, so if you’re going really fast and then pause, you go slow and it could really throw you off. And also, the higher difficulties are REALLY hard to control, a slight tilt could send your ship flying and the momentum just seems off.
Just as I remembered it!
Loved this game from the moment I downloaded it in 2010 on my iPhone 4. I remember a revamp of the app during that period in which I stopped playing because I didn't like the new look. Downloaded it again recently and glad to see you went back to the original design! One small audiophile related complaint however is the audio doesn't quite sync up like it used to when changing to dark mode on the hard difficulty!
Disappointed with the new update
Cube runner is a game I’ve loved for years. However, with the new update, I find myself looking for the old version, and dislike the new graphics and the new icon, which make the game too distracting when you just want to focus on the real point of the game, which is getting the icon around the blocks. I am also not a fan of the endless lives, which was actually a smart idea when I looked at the breakdown of the new update and how they explained it, however I was confused when I got to the updated app and hadn’t seen the breakdown of the new update, because the endless lives could have of been explained better on the updated app. Cube runner was a game that was noted and loved for it simplicity as you may see in reviews from before the update. It seems like cube runner just tried to make itself like every other average game on the market, and I believe that there was a way to incorporate some of the things in this new update into another update, but it didn’t need to completely change, because with the new update, it has been stripped of its charm and simplicity, which was its most notable and favorable characteristics. Overall in case you couldn’t tell I am greatly dissatisfied with this new update.
Bad Update
I appreciate the developer spending the time to update a classic app... but honestly, 3.0 is horrible. I loved having the classic version and played it often as a stress reliever. It was simple and fun. The new graphics are incredibly distracting and I have a hard time focusing on any of the blocks. The counter was changed, so I can’t get a good grasp on how well I’m doing. And I feel that the “size” of the plane has increased, meaning I can’t squeeze through the same kind of gaps I used to. I IMPLORE the developer to go back to the classic version. Please. I loved this app but find it unusable now. Release this version as another app, but allow those of us that still love and enjoy the original to have it. I don’t want to delete the app, but I will not be using it with the updated design.
Simple but perfectly executed.
Cube runner is a game that seems very simple when you first pick it up. I have great nostalgia for it during my early years on my iPod Touch, and picked it up again to see why it was so addictive back then. It really excels in its execution. The graphics are minimalistic, but there are lots of cool touches, like a cool transition to first person mode, a neat death animation and lots of variety between levels. I also love the soundtrack. It's a lot of catchy and upbeat electronic tracks that fit the levels perfectly. There are lots of touches that make the game feel lovingly crafted, like the great level design, the option to play in portrait or landscape mode, and the option to play user levels. If you think this game is just a simple endless runner, give it a fair chance and I think you'll see how great it is.
Great update to a great game!
I have to admit I was a little shocked to see an update to this game after so much time. I’ve loved this game for its simplicity for a long time so the update gave me a chance to get hooked again. I like the new graphics (the ship looks great) and it still runs incredibly smoothly on my old iPhone. I used to play in portrait orientation and now I can’t but I quickly got used to that. Just as I got used to the new textures which were a little distracting at first. The main reason I’m not rating it 5 stars is that I just noticed my phone was warm in my pocket. I quit all my apps and checked battery usage and this app used 18% of my battery in the last 24 hours. I haven’t played in days. If the battery leak gets fixed I’ll revise my review. Until then I’ll just remember to quit the app.
A terrible makeover!
Whoever redesigned the new CubeRunner app should be selling shoes instead. Leaving aside how truly ugly some of the landscape designs are, one of the biggest problems with this new version is that there is not enough contrast between the plane and the various backgrounds. This makes it very hard to see the plane in way too many instances. This was never an issue with the previous incarnation, which used a bold white inverted V” in place of a realistic airplane icon. The attempt to make the plane more realistic has resulted in a nondescript gray color that is very hard to follow against most of the backgrounds. Another big issue is that the plane’s wingspan is too wide. Even though the mazes are now rendered horizontally, it is much harder (if not impossible) to dart through congested clusters of cubes. Really, this game is now a mess! CubeRunner was one of the first apps I downloaded when I bought the very first iPhone, and I have enjoyed it for all these years. But now I may very well delete it and forget that it ever existed. Or perhaps I will fire up my old iPhone 4S, which has been gathering dust for years, just to play the classic version of CubeRunner. I would give this version zero stars if possible.
This game was great but now...
So when I was a little kid my dad had this game on his iPod and my siblings and I would always fight on who got to play it. It was the highlight of our whole day, and when I got a phone and found out that I could download it it was the best thing ever and I love the original version because it was one of those game that weren’t stupid and that didn’t needed to be updated or changed to stay up to date because the old version could never get old like it wouldn’t look childish for adult and it did look like just an adult game so all ages could play it and now it feels more like a little boys game and I am very disappointed in it. I miss the random colored blocks and my white arrow.
New 3.0.10 update issue
I love this app. I appreciate change, but my issue is that this new update changes the game completely. I’ve been playing Cube runner for 9 years I think, through college and high school it has been a go-to game. I don’t like the new update compared to what it used to be. I’d love to see a “retro mode” feature that would allow you to play with the visuals and handling of the previous version. Thanks for reading and for all the fun over the years.
