The near final version of Cube BLASTER!

Cube BLASTER! is a game I put together using the Unity engine and assets purchased from the Unity asset store, as well as some music I made with MAGIX Music Maker 2013. Basically you load into any level you want and shoot cubes that explode when damaged. You can even spawn your own new cubes wherever you want!

Cube BLASTER! main menu

This is what the main menu looks like. I designed it so it is in 3D and you can turn all around and you will even find a wall with the game credits on it if you turn and look behind you :)

 

I designed the game so you can switch to any level immediately and at any time while you are playing, no need to go back to the menu just to go to another level! Just press one of the according

F-keys to load one at any moment! On my computer with an SSD, level load times are about 1 sec!

 

This is the level that is loaded when you click on "PLAY GAME" from the main menu. You can also load it at any time by pressing F1.

 

Level 5



The game contains 3 weapons and 5 levels(each with different music), and a special tool you can use to spawn cubes.

I added the tool with the ability to instansiate many more cubes into any level after I played around with the first build of the game and felt it needed something more. Now you can place cubes anywhere you want. Stack them up and create powerful explosions that launch you into the sky!

 

Launching into the air from the force of about 10 exploding cubes!

I hope to release this game in the Windows 8 Store soon. Whenever Unity adds the Windows store deployment option I plan on touching the game up a bit more and then releasing it on there. Possibly on Windows RT too if I can get it to run smoothly. In the meantime though you can download the game for free from SkyDrive(links are below). There are two builds of the game, one Basic and one Pro version(all screenshots were taken from the Pro version).

 

- Basic version has no dynamic lighting or shadows and has simple water effects.

- Pro version has dynamic lighting/ shadows and more realistic water effects.

You will find the Cube BLASTER! instructions and all necessary files at the SkyDrive links.

SkyDrive is weird though as it seems to let you download some files without logging in to your Microsoft account, but to download the game data folder you will most likely have to log in. Sorry about the inconvenience :/

Simply download everything at the link and then run by double-clicking the icon.

 

INSTALLATION: The game does not need to install, so if you want to remove it simply delete the files. If you want to share it with your friends, that's fine too! Just make sure to copy all the files and not just the Cube BLASTER! executable.

 

NOTE: Both game builds are for Windows PC's. If you have Mac or Linux and want to play it please let me know and I will do my best to get it built for your platform of choice!(Unity makes this pretty easy but it's not always perfect)
