'Cubixx HD' Episode 5 - Arcade Mode

Hello again guys and gals,

Who’s ready for the weekend, or more importantly who’s ready for more Cubixx HD news? If it’s the latter then you’re in the right place!

Today I’m going to give a quick run down of Arcade mode.

Cubixx HD features 50 Arcade levels, yes 50! Now that is a lot of levels to get your teeth into. We have taken time to structure the levels so that they remain fresh and challenging as you play through the game.

We decided to split the early levels into Stages of 5 levels each, introducing a new enemy in each Stage. The 5^th level in each Stage will be the hardest challenge for that enemy and we have nicknamed these levels BOSS BATTLES. For example, Stage 1 (levels 1-5) introduces the player to the Cubixx and Mini Cubixx enemies; level 5 is then the boss battle where the player will face hordes of Cubixx! Complete this level and you will not only progress to Stage 2 (levels 6-10), but also unlock additional content in the other game modes; more on these mysterious modes next week!

Level 1 – Piece of cake!

Level 5 – BOSS BATTLE!

Below is a very basic breakdown of the level structure:

Levels 1-5 – Introducing you to the Cubixx and Mini Cubixx enemies.

Levels 6-10 – Featuring Line Chasers.

Levels 11-15 – Focusing on the Homer enemy.

Levels 16-20 – Introducing the destructive Asteroids.

Levels 21-25 – Including the dreaded Black Hole; my nemesis!  

Levels 26-30- These levels feature various power ups/downs (and are awesome IMHO!)

Levels 31-35 – These levels see the introduction of a fast Fuse enemy, chasing the player down, and feature other enemies which slow the player down. Sounds easy but trust me, it isn’t.

Levels 36-39 – These are speed-based levels, with a fast Fuse, lots of Speed powers, etc.

Levels 40-49 – These are the earlier boss battles, but remixed to make them even harder!

Level 50 – You’ll have to wait and see what secrets this level has in store, but I can tell you now; it is very hard!

Level 46 - BOOM!!!

As you can see from the info above, there’s plenty of variation throughout the 50 levels, and that’s not even counting all the other game modes we’ve got lined up for you!

So, we hope you’ve enjoyed hearing about Cubixx HD’s level structure. We got even more really exciting news lined up in the weeks ahead, so turn on and tune in.

Thanks,

Steven.
