“QBeez2” is a cute, pretty easy-to-play game (at least in the easy mode). This game turns you into a colored cube, with a smiley face on it. You have to choose a name and a color of your character when you first enter the game.
The game is pretty simple to play, and the screen is very clear. When you start playing, a board composed of cubes is displayed. More than a board it looks like a pile of them. All you have to do is to identify and call groups of cubes of the same color. To be a group there has to be at least two cubes of the same color. The bigger the group of cubes (QBeez), the higher is your score. If you’re stuck and don’t know what to do you can try the “special moves”. You can shuffle the QBeez or rotate the entire board. You have three special movements per level.
The time is measured using a water column which fills up while you play. When it reaches the top the game is over.
A really cool feature of this game is that you can create your own puzzles to play. That’s not all, you can even use a photograph you like from which the game will create a puzzle. If you don’t feel creative don’t worry. The game includes a lot of puzzles pre-created. You can manage and choose the puzzles to play from the “Puzzles” section.
