QBRIX - Brain Twister
easy to play but tough to solve
Qbrix presents problems similar to the one found
in
Rubik's Cube (Hungarian Cube). The best description would be to say,
it is a mix between Rubik's Cube and Jigsaw puzzle. The goal of the game is to put
together the image which is randomly scrambled at the beginning sequence,
while trying to keep the number of moves smallest possible. Current version has
ten levels, in each level adjacent cubes are geared to each other using
different pattern. Depending on the level, problem can be quite easy or
extremely difficult. Great to test and train memory and
combinatorial skills, easy to play but not easy to solve.
Full featured version of the game (Windows only), see
introduction, offers level editor utility that enables user to
create new or change existing levels, or just so see current pattern,
it is possible to make an enormous number of levels. Full version also
has possibility to change images, you can use your own, there is a
Save record feature and an anoying logo.
For any bug report, any comment, or just to say hi use the

How to play
Click PLAY button to start scrambling sequence. With scrambling finished click at the cube you want to rotate, use arrows to choose a direction and put the image together. Try to keep number of moves smallest possible. There are six different images used in random manner, to choose a particular one click the same level few times until you get the one you want. You can change the level during the game, if it is too difficult, by clicking the MENU button. At the beginning of the game MENU enables switching the interface so you can see the image better. It is good to start with the first level, all cubes are lose there, to see what it is about and then go to more complicated levels.
