Art Style: Cubello

Cubello, is one of those wierd games that comes around every once in a while. You know, the ones that have the catchy music, the lively colours, and a simple, clean and satisfying look to it. Generally now-a-days, these sorts of games are about one in every two thousand or so. Some of you might disagree with me when I say this, but Cubello is by far one of the most addictive games available on WiiWare, and for only 600 points, £4.20, it's well worth your money. So, just what is it that adds this subtle touch of elegence to a game that focuses on cubes, and matching up similar coulours into blcks of four? Well, firstly, it has the intuitive design, adding more depth to the game than appears-to-the-eye. So, what am I talking about? Well, I'm of course speaking about the 'ammo' style workings of the core game. You have a rack, which can store up to ten cubes, which will empty as you fire. How do you restore your ammo though? Well, you knock sets of fours off of the cubello in the centre of the screen. Just remember, that your sets of four will have to be the same colour! So, you're knocking off your blocks, in order to restore ammo, but what is the real aim of the game? Well, you'll be attempting to knock every single block off of the cubello. Sounds a bit boring, doesn't it? However, the clever touch is that if you run out of ammo, you lose the game. Another thing about the cubello, is that it will move towards you, and eventually, if it gets close enough, the game will end. These factors all and that small sense of competitive-ness to the game. Each level is designed to make you think, offering some great puzzles along the way. So, I'd say, you should get some of those Nintendo points, and make sure that you buy Cubello, it will be well worth your £4.20.
