New Jigsaw Game from Young Developers
Three genius students from Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts (Switzerland), Christof Kälin, Hidde de Vries and Vinzenz Klass, developed a new game for the WOWCube® Entertainment System.
Jigsaw, as they called it, is a puzzle type game where you fit broken ancient pieces together by rotating the cube. The fewer moves it takes for a player, the higher the score. The game will soon be available at the PlayStore.
It shares the same fundamental mechanics – i.e., rotating the cube to successfully match the respective figures on one side – with the 2x2 Rubik’s Cube. However, if you use the WOWCube® Entertainment System, it comes with much more variations, both visually and difficulty wise.
Jigsaw was coded in the Pawn language in the WOWCube® SDK. “A deciding factor is how the game performs on the physical cube, rather than just on the emulator,” said Christof Kälin, one of the game developers. “We estimate the coding and testing took us around 30 hours, and the game design and asset creation, another 20 hours.”
Cubios, Inc. enables young developers around the world to test their skills in game design using the company's SDK and create their own games. The good news is that the WOWCube® SDK will be accessible to everyone very soon.
