Cube Match
Rotate a stacked cube of tiles, select matching icons, and strip away layers before the timer ticks out.
Gameplay overview
Layered pair matching
Cube Match builds on classic mahjong pair removal with a 3D twist. Each level stacks tile faces around a rotating cube. Spin the structure, pick two identical tiles, and watch them vanish from the grid. Clearing pieces reveals the inner layer, opening new matches while a countdown urges you forward. Bonus multipliers reward chains of quick matches, and finishing before the clock expires unlocks new cube arrangements.
Power-ups like hints and shuffles can bail you out, but efficient rotation and forward planning generate the highest scores. Keep an eye on free faces, avoid burying future matches, and keep the board breathable.

Our take
Why Cube Match is a nice twist on mahjong
Cube Match takes the familiar tile-pairing of mahjong and wraps it around a 3D object, which makes rotation and viewpoint management part of the puzzle. Instead of just scanning a flat grid, you are constantly deciding which side to expose and which blocking tiles to remove first.
The icons are clean and the cube is easy to turn, so even with the added dimension the game stays soothing rather than disorienting. It is a good balance between light spatial reasoning and the satisfying rhythm of rapid pair clearing.
Who will enjoy it?
If you enjoy classic mahjong or matching games and want something a little more tactile and visual than a flat layout, Cube Match is a strong option. It remains approachable for casual players but has enough complexity in later cubes to keep dedicated puzzlers engaged.
