Grey Cubes: Unique 3D Brick Breaker App Reviews

A clever take on the old break-out game. However, the paddle control is marginal at best. I’ve tried with and without a case as well as a stylus instead of a finger. No improvement. It is a jerky, ragged interface for what should be a smooth slide side-to-side movement.

Ive only played a few levels, but so far Im enjoying it.

This game really gets you thinking of where the ball gonna go and what stuff that you are going to get, changing the size of your board or doubling your ball. Its really fun!

Worst part: power "downs" curve towards your paddle making it really hard to avoid. Second worst part- level 9 and 10 take way too long. I gave up on the game at that point. Best: its nice looking with a mellow soundtrack. I got it free via Starbucks so Im not too disappointed but wouldnt pay more than 99 cents for it.

Does this work with ipod? I tried downloading with the starbucks card and it said "device not compatible". I have a 5th version ipod.

Going good for "breakout" clone. Worth the play. So far all levels are beatable, but the invisible walls and the lvls with side panning are motion sickness inducing (looking @lvl 16)

Minimalist in style, with clean graphics and a deep ambient electronic soundtrack, this Brickout clone is a great challenge. Clever physical effects and level layouts make for unique and engaging gameplay. Recommended!

Decided to dl this game bc Starbucks had some "app of the week" thing going on. So far, it has held onto my attention for more than a week. Its fun. And a little bit nostalgic of the basic bouncing ball to brick game. But way more challenging and fun. Graphics are good. Easy to learn. Only problem is that the high score fully resets and it isnt easy to get those points back. Game is already challenging in itself, there are plenty of levels and stages, so why should you clear the entire scoreboard after one try? Attention span slips only bc of that. Otherwise would have received 5 stars based on ease of bragging rights

I love this game and how it keeps building complexity. Im at level 44 now, its addictive, it really absorbs all of your attention giving you a break from the outside world. Enjoyed it very much, thanks Starbucks!!!

Very tedious and no instructions. Sometimes you have to hit a block once to get rid of it and other times three times, but you never know which. Also, there is no indication of how long until you complete a level. Very boring and tedious. The original Breakout from the 70s is far more engaging.

This is a totally addictive game that continues to test your eye hand coordination and the ability to multitask on the screen I really like it a lot.

In one place this says its not compatible with iPod Touch 4th generation and below. Well mine is 6th gen but the game will still not download, saying its not compatible with my device. Whats the deal?

Fun and addicting.

Its a good game and it got me hooked!!. Starbucks recommended it not too long ago (about a week or two) and I already passed all 60 levels!!! Im ready for more!! This game has me hooked. PLEASE UPDATE TO MORE LEVELS SOON PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEAAASSSEEEE and thank you.

This game is great and Im only on level 8 of 60. I wish there was a little more info on all the options that come floating down. Nevertheless, this is a great game. This review comes from a real person who does not work for the app company.

Before I get into the review, just to make sure prospective players get this warning: Dont get this game if you only have an iPhone. The screen size really makes the controls difficult, but it should be fine on the iPads. Now thats out of the way... I greatly enjoy the physics engine that Grey Cubes uses, the way blocks bounce and react to being hit. The graphics are pleasant but minimalistic and for the most part I enjoy the level design. But it also has a lot of annoying quirks. The biggest is the limit on how many balls you get in a stretch. You start the game with five, and its almost impossible to replenish them without spending money or spending points off your score (which, naturally, is finite). If you run out, you go back to the main menu and restart the level with just that last ball remaining. Over and over. In this day and age, having this limited number of lives just stinks of pointless retention of the arcade "feed more quarters" mindset and is clearly intended to annoy people into spending money on in-app purchases. Second, the aforementioned cash store. The in-app purchases dont do anything like add new functionality, levels, or gameplay. They just incrementally lower the difficulty by cutting out debuffs and increasing the rate of certain powerups (which arent even that useful 90% of the time). Spending money should improve the game, not make it less bad. Pro-tip for game developers: if you want to make more money off your game, maybe just dont let Starbucks give it away for free. There are other little annoyances, but these two are the biggest that should factor into your purchase. (Honestly, dropping the limited balls would be enough for me to round this up to five stars) Im enjoying it, but that feels like its despite the devs choices and not because of them.

Great design but my finger tends to start sticking to the screen as the game goes on slowing down the physical movement; not the developers fault.

I try to download it on my iPod 5th gen. Says not compatible. Looked at the games description. Says iPod 4th gen or below was not compatible.

Lots of levels to keep you occupied. Fun!

They let you play the game without any interruptions or advertisements. Its simple and definitely incites you to want to play it whenever you have spare time. Neat and simple.
