Cubes 2 review

Theme and Storyline

Cubes 2 has a unique aesthetic that is themed around colorful cubes.

Players will enter a minimalist world and face down a wall of brightly hued cubes that flip and turn to reveal even more colors. The game’s design brings to mind the classic rubix cube puzzle.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The soundtrack is filled with quick drum beats accompanied by relaxing piano notes, making for a tune that is both calming and engaging. The reels spin with a beeping sound, adding to the sci-fi feel of the slot.

Players will feel as if they are weightlessly hovering over the brightly-hued cube reels. The dark backdrop adds to this feeling with ghostly shapes of other blocks floating in the distance.

Each cube is animated with a minimalist aesthetic in a range of colors from yellow and blue to purple. A heavy black outline emphasizes the shape of each and makes it easy to appreciate the cubes' movement as they tumble during each spin.

Overall, the graphic design of Cubes 2 is intriguingly unique and has the right amount of trippy.

Gameplay

Cubes 2 is a five reel, five row slot.

Wins are awarded for landing 5 or more matching symbols in adjacent reels.

If a player lands a winning combination, then the reels expand, growing to a 7x7 grid. If a new winning combination is landed, or if the existing winning combination grows, then the reels expand once more to become a 11x11 grid.

Wins are only awarded after the reels stop expanding.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Corner Multipliers appear with an X on them at each corner of the initial reel grid. If one of the Corner Multipliers forms part of a winning combination, then the X is replaced by a number decided by the number of symbols in the winning combination. That number is applied as a multiplier to the final win.

When winning combinations are connected to multiple Corner Multipliers, the final win is multiplied by the value of both multipliers added together.

Players can trigger the Free Spins feature by landing 5 or more winning combinations in different colors.

The Free Spins feature begins with 5 free spins, and players begin the feature by selecting a Mystery Cube to determine a cube color that will be sticky throughout the feature.

During the Mystery Cube selection process, players can also be awarded additional free spins. A maximum of 12 can be awarded.

While in the Free Spins feature, the size of the reels does not decrease and any wins involving the previously selected color remain on the reels until the end of the feature.

The maximum win during the Free Spins feature is 10,500x players’ total bet.

Players can also activate the Multi-color Free Spins feature by landing all four corner positions in the same color. Between 5 and 10 free spins are awarded by players selecting Mystery Cubes.

All the colors that players select during the Mystery Cube process will be sticky for the duration of the feature.

The maximum win during the Multi-color Free Spins feature is 7,500x players’ total bet.
