Whether you’ve been attempting to stack seven people on a single office chair or simply wondering how to connect seven controllers to your PC, just so you can experience the sweet, sweet joys of seven player Cubixx HD on Steam, I have some fantastic news for you, as we have just added remote play to Cubixx HD.
Now you can take on seven players in thrilling arcade style action deathmatches! Or simply get a few more people to help you get a few levels further in the challenging arcade mode, while not having to work out how you all fit round a single PC.
So are you ready to take on the cube? Well grab your Cubot & fire your laser across 50 Arcade levels, and see if you have what it takes to unlock the secrets within. To succeed you will need to evade and annihilate deadly enemies & use your lightning fast reflexes to the fullest! This is a journey where only the best will survive!
While I might be a bit biased, it wasn’t just me who thought Cubixx HD was a winner, with Official PlayStation Magazine UK calling it: “One of the most gloriously addictive, knuckle-bitingly frustrating experiences you can have on PSN.” Eurogamer also gave it an 8/10, calling it: “Murderously addictive.” The Sixthaxis also awarded Cubixx HD with an 8/10, saying it: “Hovers on the cusp of absolute, delightful joy.”
We’re hoping that this addition means that you can have even more fun, I certainly had a blast going back to testing out Cubixx HD.
In other news, not only have we been hard at work porting some Japanese games to Switch for other publishers, but we’ve been working on another release of one of our favourites from the Laughing Jackal back catalogue. So keep your eyes on the blog as I’ll be returning soon for more news on that.

It’s time for you to slice your way to the Nintendo Switch eShop as Cubixx is out now priced at just £5.99, $7.49 (US), € 6,69.
I’m personally incredibly excited for you to see the new and improved version of one of my favourite games I’ve worked on, so I really hope you all enjoy the classic arcade puzzling that Cubixx provides.
Think you're ready to take on the cube? Well grab your Cubot and fire your laser across 50 Arcade levels and see if you have what it takes to unlock the secrets within. To succeed you will need to evade and annihilate deadly enemies & use your lightning fast reflexes to the fullest! This is a journey where only the best will survive!
If this wasn’t enough, your skills will be pushed to the limit in the brand new “Challenges” mode. Here you will find 50 bespoke challenges that will really test your new-found Cubixx skills to the max. These Challenges will require you to chase the highest scores, beat the fastest times, outsmart the bad guys & much more!
On top of that there are over 150 hi-score tables across the 3 brand new Attack modes: Score Attack, Line Attack & Time Attack. You can also grab some friends & play up to 4 local multiplayer co-op, in Arcade & Attack modes or engage in 4-player battles against your frenemies in Cubixx Deathmatch!
It’s a really addictive classic, but don’t just take our word for it. Check out these incredible reviews on PC & PS3:
Eurogamer gave it 8/10, saying “The heroic thing about it all is that Laughing Jackal manages to reinvent Qix in a way that has evidently been completely beyond Taito for the past 30 years. And if that's not a fitting tribute, I don't know what is.”
ZTGD gave it 85%, saying “Cubixx HD is a worthy investment that offers up tons of challenging game modes in a package that not only looks great, but plays great as well.”
One UP Gaming gave it 5 Stars, saying “Cubixx HD is a wonderful reinvention of a retro style that has seen countless iterations over the years, while managing to define itself as its own title. With fast, addictive levels and visuals that mesh brilliantly with the energetic soundtrack, this is one game you can’t afford to miss.”
The Sixth Axis gave it 8/10, saying “... ultimately it’s a game founded on superbly honed, solid mechanics that even stretched over an impressive amount of game types doesn’t ever really feel tired”
Defunct Games gave it a B+, saying “Just like the old school arcade games that inspired it, Cubixx HD is easy to pick up and impossible to put down.”
We’ve also made some tweaks to the game to ensure that the Nintendo Switch version is even better than its previous two releases. For example, new starting points are unlocked every single level, rather than every 5 levels.
So hurry over to the eShop to get for the best version of this fantastic game!
