Cubesis

Cubesis is a turn-based strategy game with puzzle elements about leading the Cubies through a world whose climate and natural forces must be kept in balance. You can change the climate from tropical to icy, but every choice has a cost, and what helps in one situation may be harmful in another. The world is also guarded by two gods, Ikjuch and Likael, who can be generous or cruel.

Balance the world

Cubeworld works like fragile clockwork. Ikjuch and Likael govern its sea level and global temperature, and you must work out what pleases them to gain their help. Drought and floods can each be useful, depending on the circumstances.

You solve strategy-like puzzles by planning several steps ahead and meeting goals such as crossing the sea, collecting a treasure chest or building a city in a lake. Obstacles stand between you and each goal, and the strategy needed to overcome them depends on the situation.

Shape the terrain

Every tile of land can be changed or destroyed, so you can dig through the world. You can also create dams, rivers and canals, altering the terrain as you work toward each level's goals.

Two campaigns

The game has up to 34 levels arranged by difficulty. You begin with a tutorial, continue through the easy campaign and finish with Likael's Revenge.
