About This Game

Think in three dimensions.

CubeMate puts a chess position on every face of a Rubik's Cube. Twisting one layer changes six boards at once. Your goal is simple to state and hard to do: rotate until every face satisfies the challenge.

Five challenges

• Check Everywhere – put the opponent's king in check on all six faces.

• Checkmate Everywhere – deliver mate on every face.

• Advantage Everywhere – hold a material edge on each face.

• Equal Position Everywhere – balance the material on each face.

• Standard Rubik's Cube – no chess, one piece type and colour per face.

Campaign: a tree of 34 levels

Start on a 2×2 and climb to a 7×7. The campaign is a tree, not a list: finish levels to open the ones that branch off them, and see the whole map from the start. Six regions, one per cube size: 5 levels on 2×2, 6 on 3×3, 5 on 4×4, 6 on 5×5, 6 on 6×6 and 6 on 7×7. Pieces are fixed on their cubies, so the same twist that solves one face can break another. Locked levels are open to preview, so you always know what is coming.

Free Play: your rules

• Any cube from 2×2 to 7×7, any of the five challenges. A size opens in Free Play once you finish its first campaign level (2×2 is open from the start).

• Pick your side: white, black or random.

• Seeds – every puzzle has a short code. Copy it, send it, race a friend on the same cube.

• Daily – one seed per day, the same cube for everyone, with your personal best saved.

• Quick Play – one click, random everything.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

This game uses generative AI to create some of its audio content. Background music tracks were generated using Suno, and sound effects (SFX) for menus were generated using ElevenLabs. All AI-generated audio was reviewed and curated by the developer. No gameplay code or puzzle logic is generated by AI at runtime; the use of AI is limited to pre-generated audio content included in the build.
