So… many… CUUUUUBES!
This is a freeware review of a game called Lyle in Cube Sector. It is all about a black kid with green hair surrounded by creatures trying to make ends meet when suddenly, some complete asshole comes along and steals his cat! Lyle must use it admittadly poor abilities to save his cat from some one, or… some thing. Or some place. Or even some object. How many more of these can I do? That many.
Anyways, at the beginning, Lyle can run and jump. That’s just about it. But he must venture into cube sector filled with cubes *gasp* and get powers to use them. It’s a pretty interesting game, where you need to explore the land to find your cat. It is, however, extrememly annoying at times and forgiving at others. For example, if you go out to the ass-end of hell to get a power-up and then die 4 seconds later, yes, you have to start back at your house again. However, to your delight, you will realise that you will still have the power. Sometimes, this doesn’t mean anything when you are trying to get through areas with very, very difficult circumstances. All of the powers you get are inventive (apart from the one allowing you to pick up cubes) and most of them are useful. And the music is top-quality game music. I love it, love it, and at times, am alright with it. It also has a few… well, I’d say they’re mini-games, but they are just different circumstances, like using cubes to knock a basketball into hoops.
Anyways, if you like side-scrollers, then it’s hard not to like this game.
