Cubalance Creator Overwhelmed by Wishlist Support
A solo dev's promise to 3D print a cube for every wishlist entry leads to 241 prints and a surge of community feedback
A solo game developer's experiment in community engagement has paid off in a big way, with their physics-puzzler game Cubalance garnering 241 wishlists in just seven days. The developer had promised to print a 3D cube for every wishlist entry, a task that has proven to be more daunting than expected.
The game's creator was taken aback by the outpouring of support, saying they 'severely underestimated' the response from the community. As a result, they have been working non-stop to print the promised cubes, even accidentally printing six extra.
But the developer is not just focused on fulfilling their promise – they are also using the feedback from the community to improve the game. Many players have reached out with suggestions, which the developer is incorporating into the project. A mobile version of the game, called Cubalance Light, is also in the works and will be available for free on Google Play.
Cubalance is a physics-puzzler inspired by the 2000 classic Swing, and its creator is thrilled to see the game's digital world translated into physical objects. The developer has made the 3D print model for the cubes available online, allowing fans to print their own.
The game is currently available on Steam, and players can check it out and support the developer's ongoing work. With its unique blend of physics and puzzle-solving, Cubalance is shaping up to be a promising addition to the indie gaming scene.
