While playing a trick on your furry friends, a spell was cast that put them all to sleep.
How in the world can you wake someone up under a magic sleep spell (aside from smooching
of course)? Well one way might be to complete level upon level of colored block busting
action. And where does this block puzzler take place you ask? Why inside of the open
mouths of our hapless sleeping victims of course. Sanitary!
Cubis Creatures is a variation on the match three block puzzle phenomenon. Towers of blocks
litter the grid, and many of them are stacked on top of each other. Shooting a color into
these blocks, if it creates a match of three or more will extinguish them from the landscape,
and if you're lucky, start a chain reaction. Clearing the level of all blocks isn't your
goal however, it will just net you a perfect bonus for the level in question. No the actual
goal is to fill up the score meter on the left side of the screen. Most levels will
have this meter filling before the stage is cleared (due to score multipliers from chain
reactions and making matches with special blocks that give you significant boosts).
While this takes some of the pressure off, it does make the levels feel like less of
a puzzle with a definitive solution, and more based on good luck with what colors the game
decides to give you.
A mode that should be mentioned is the daily tournament. Each day a new level from the
game is set as the tournament level, with those getting the highest scores duking it
out for leaderboard supremacy. Aside from that, the characters are amusing and colorful
and the game comes chock full of content, with new blocks being introduced constantly
to mix things up. While nothing new in the match three genre, the presentation and the
focus on high scores make this a worthwhile play for fans of the genre.
