Cubetractor, the retro strategy-puzzle game is the winner of IGF China’s Best Game

DEVELOPED BY the indie game company Ludochip. Cubetractor teaches players the art of pulling cubes as they defeat enemies through unconventional cube-pulling and turret building. The game carries elements of reverse tower defense and a deadly game of dodge ball which culminates in a unique gaming experience presented in retro graphics with the classic top-down perspective. Cubetractor is available on Steam, Greenman gaming, Amazon.com, Gamefly, Get GamesGo, Gameolith and Gamersgate for $8.50 USD which is 15% off the original $10 price tag.

PLAYERS CONTROL ENDROI, a happy-go-lucky quadrobot as he works his way to mastering the art of cubetracting- the art of attracting Cubes. The game looks deceptively easy but players will need skills in dexterity, acute awareness, multi-tasking and tactical positioning in order to master the art of cubetracting. Players will have to strategize and fight their way through a multitude of enemies to achieve victory.

“The game gets pretty hard for a good number of casual players, despite its light-hearted appearance,” sates lead developer, Bruce Chia. “But you know what? On the bright side if you were such a player, and if you didn’t give up, you’d find you’d be able to appreciate a lot more of the intense neo-retro sort of action games, particularly top-down shooters, you can see our take on the bullet hell experience on a small scale here!”

THE GAME FEATURES over 40 maps with levels that are carefully designed to bring out emergent dynamics in a unique mechanic. Main levels are designed for speed runs- collect all the batteries, reach the finish line within the tight time limit and you will earn some hardcore rewards. Fight your way through the horde of bad guys who always seem one step ahead. Enemy structures are exactly the same as the players, defeating them takes thoughtful timing and positioning.

PURELY INDIE MADE– Cubetractor was created by two ambitious people living off their savings and working off random coffee joints. After some success working on CarneyVale Showtime and Symon, they decided to team up and make games independently. Together, Ludochip dreams of creating interesting and unique mechanics that are a refreshing experience, time accessible and easy to relate to. With the most important thing being to have fun.
