The Rubik's Cube is a classic toy puzzle that is often the easiest way to show off your skills. Some people can even solve it in a matter of seconds, while most of us probably take hours, if not longer. And now you can have it in the palm of your hand with the new mobile game Rubik's Match 3!
While some purists may balk, Rubik's Match 3 is actually an officially licensed game based on the toy. The Rubik's Cube, invented by Erno Rubik, is a deceptively simple piece of plastic where you have to flip alternating sides to match colors. It's an addictive and fiendishly difficult puzzle game that's ready to be translated to mobile devices.
Of course, this is where purists and common folk tend to agree. It's unclear from the trailers how the Rubik's Cube integration works in this match-3. But if you're just looking for a new twist on the formula, this might be the game for you.
Match the colors
Personally, I'm not sure what to think of Rubik's Match 3. On the one hand, it's obviously interesting to see a game based on such a venerable toy and classic holiday gift as the Rubik's Cube, but I couldn't quite parse out what made it unique from the trailer and store page, aside from the obvious branding.
