   Power Cubes is a new inventive puzzle-arcade game. Manoeuvre through labyrinth type levels, collect the range of different power cubes, solve challenging puzzles and be wary of the enemies! This fast paced arcade game will keep you on your fingers as well as providing clever puzzle mechanics which make you question your every move.

   Why developers will find my game interesting:
   Power Cubes is a great showcase of what cocos2d does really well - managing many sprites. 50 different levels are individually defined in .plist files, which are then interpreted to build an environment in cocos2d. Also of note are some clever uses of CCRenderTexture - both to mask the green "cube fill" in the top-right HUD, and to build a seamless shadow texture for blocks/walls in each level. Finally, Power Cubes upscales with retina graphics on the iPad, so while it's still technically an "iPhone game", it's beautiful on the iPad too.

   Why gamers will find my game interesting:
   Power Cubes contains 50 unique and challenging levels to complete, and the learning curve is smooth. Lots of people have said that it's very addictive. The game has a well-defined and pretty graphical style, and menus are straight-forward and pleasant to interact with.

   Power Cubes is my first iPhone application and was my first experience with cocos2d and iPhone programming. During the development of Power Cubes, I must've viewed hundreds of helpful topics on the cocos2d forum, taking advice and sample code from a whole range of posts. Thank you to all these users for your help - I really appreciate it!

   Promo Codes:
   If you snatch one of these, I'd appreciate it if you wrote an honest review for Power Cubes on the App Store, and let me know about any bugs you experience.

   All codes are used and no one thanked you for them! It can be possible that these people who took them even aren't members of this forum here...you should only spread them via PM.

   About the game:

   I really like the menu (if you choose a level) it looks simple and fantastic!
   The graphics are great too. Simple & awesome.

   PS: Do you have a code left for me ;) ?

   Thanks for the feedback! Guess that's a lesson learnt - don't post promo codes in public if you want them to be used by people who'll actually give feedback. :P

   Anyone else have any thoughts? I'll soon be working on some more level packs and some other updates.

   a bit late with response.., no time until now (took LPHFA3AJW4LM, thank you).

   i really like the game, i think it has great potential... but some things i noticed so far:

   - Laser beams: on red backgrounds they are way to difficult to see.
   - Laser beams: find it difficult to notice pre-activation-glow.
   - Walls: it is sometimes hard to get the right feeling for the position of the actor relative to the walls. it would help t outline the whole top level of the wall-blocks to get a better depth-feeling.
   - Teleporters: Maybe it's better to keep the walking direction when a transporter was used.

   glad to see the cocos2d icon in the credits! :)
