What is Cubemen?
Cubemen 2 for iOS and MAS – Out now!
Check out the new User Level gallery link above to see the amazing user levels being created!
Cubemen is a fast paced, action packed, original 3D Tower Defense game that mixes TD and RTS in the most exciting way possible! Get ready for some crazy Cubemen action!
It’s the age old struggle between Good vs Bad, Blue vs Red, Little men vs Little men. Use your own little Cubemen to defend your base from other little Cubemen that are trying to run it over. It’s the usual story, but with many very interesting twists.
Play a purely defense game in various modes on a sweet selection of levels, or go into Skirmish mode and play a new type of TD game against either the computer or another human opponent. That’s right.. Two way REAL-TIME TD against the computer or a real person!
There are no static towers, just little men! Spawn your little Cubemen with orders to get to a certain location to attack or defend. You can move your Cubemen around the board at any time or click on an enemy to target them.
It’s TD like you’ve never seen or experienced before! It’s fast. It’s hard. It’s pure chaos, and it’s coming very soon to a computer near you.
Cubemen is currently available on Steam (PC & MAC), Desura (PC & MAC), Mac App Store and iOS App Store (iPad2+ only).
you can sign me up for the beta!
Hi Sereneronin,
Alpha access is via Desura at the moment for Windows builds.
http://www.desura.com/games/cubemen
OSX versions will be availabe once the 1.0 release version is ready.
Cheers
Looks like a great game
Before you buy, I wonder if there is expected to launch. (I am Brazilian, excuse the grammar google translator: P)
We are planning on releasing Cubemen v1.0 in March this year
Νο demo, no purchase, sorry
There will be a demo when it’s released but while it’s Alpha I wont be distributing a demo.
I was happy to find it released on Steam but can’t find a demo
Sorry Kevin, no demo’s at the moment. I have only had a couple of requests for demos. Everyone seems to feel $3.99 is cheap enough to not need one.
No demo, no purchase, sorry
LOL~~ looking at the pics… wondering… you got your ideas from Defense Grid?
Since I only buys games on Steam, hope it will get released on Steam someday.
I am a big TD fan in general, and though I have played and enjoy Defense Grid, my inspiration has come from many TD games mashed together
Cubemen will be available on Steam for PC and Mac on March 16th, 2012. Cheers
Thx for the heads up
Looking forward to it.
If the price is right, I will definitely pick this up.
I already own every tower defense games available on Steam…
but there just ain’t enough you know.
looking forward to see more tower defense games on Steam ^.^
do u have the darkness JACKY!!!!?????
I don’t play any horror games….
or should I say… any games that increase my heart bit rate.
Please tell me you’re planning on releasing the mac and windows build on Steam. I’d prefer to keep all my game purchases there, and not spread them out over Steam and the Mac App Store.
Yes Steam launch will include PC and Mac builds
Thank god!
hi guys, i have a question, if i buy it on Desura, can i add the cd key in steam later ? Thanks.
If you buy on Desura and contact me via Desura about a steam key, I will hook you up. Cheers
No iPad 2?
iPad 2 and Retina version is on the way… stay tuned.
Hi, is this Online multiplayer?
Yes, Skirmish games are realtime, online multiplayer (one on one) action. Or you can play the same mode but against AI. It’s wicked fun!
Does this game have coop?
No co-op. Just single player or MP versus modes.
Hi,
Waiting for some actual reviews/feedback, it looks promising from the gameplay video on youtube.
Are you going to continue develop and update the game after release?
For sure. We have big plans for Cubemen. This is just v1.0
This is a really good game reminds me a lot of multiwinia charm. I just got it on the steam sale for PC, and while I like the gameplay, the camera angles seem kinda awkward and the games end up to me being the fire person spam because they seem the most cost efficient. My favorite maps are the skirmish ones with more than one angle of attack like the coliseum, it would be awesome to see more like that. And a map editor would be very nice to play vs friends. Also on the hill I my attacking soldiers got stuck, a timer to start the next wave after like a minute might work. Keep up the good work!!
I played the Defenders of Ardania demo, which this game appears to be almost identical to. Fortunately that had a demo so I could see how restrictive, repetetive and limited it was compared to more advanced TD games like Defense Grid or Orcs Must Die. This game appears to be just more Ardania, limited tower placement, limited unit types, and a rudimentary rock-paper-scissors methodology. Endlessly firing out the same unit over and over and hoping to outclick your enemy isn’t strategy, and by restricting tower placement you effectively make every level only have one possible solution. Thanks, but no thanks.
You got all this from the video? Really? No level in Cubemen only has one solution, sorry. Your totally wrong about your assessment, but thats ok, you don’t have to buy Cubemen. Thats whats great about free choice
Will this run on a MacBook with Intel GMA950 integrated grahics? Thanks!
No, we don’t support integrated GPU’s sorry.
Work on GeForce 7300 gt ?
Yes
Wait…you have to buy this from steam, but you can play it free on other websites?
I guess most Steam users prefer buying their games…
I myself prefer paying for games mainly for its support and legitimize …
there are always free alternatives of almost anything on windows platform…
But you don’t always get updates or any sort of support for free stuff…
and you shouldn’t expect any either when you aren’t offering anything to the developer.
Developing apps/games is a job…. not charity.
The online version on Woglie.com is a cut down version. 5 maps out of 50 and doesn’t allow network play against the latest version on Steam, Desura and soon to be released iOS (iPad 2+) and Mac App Store. Consider it an early demo.
The most important point of a demo is to see if it will actually run on a device: this “online version” can’t likely serve that purpose.
help please, how do I fix or play online(local), because I host the game and my brother enters but we both hit ready but nothing happens and the escape button don’t even work, then I have to press the start
key close the game by force or by task manager and open it again, please help me.
All of the initial networking problems have been fixed in the 1.0.2 & 1.0.3 updates.
Glad I got to see this thing come to life! Great work! I am going to try to buy this today.
-TehWut
On my country the dollar is really, REALLY high, don’t know if it will be a good choice, will you release a demo?
If there’s not demo well i will wait for Skidrow or other cracker and if i like it i buy it
There will be a demo eventually.
It’s been released right? Not beta anymore.
Please make the demo soon, I never buy without trying the demo
ive got cube men on my ipad 2 and it is a sick as game so i recomend to get it but its not my choice to make you try the demo or not
Will this come out on Android?
Possibly on the Kindle Fire in the futurte, but not other plans for Android at this time.
a wishlist for future updates/sequals:
-A map/level editor and some way to share/preview/review/download/read about/etc. IN GAME
-A few DLCs/addons for the game (preferably free)
-team/co-op play online~red team, blue team, green team, yellow team~or like capture the flag
-more steam achievements
-more different types of cubemen
-making lives for the AI spawn point in classic mode
I love the game! Keep up the good work!
I just bought this via Desura because their offline solution works viruses Steam Offline. Wish it had the same achievements though…
Cubemen has the same achievements on both platforms (Steam and Desura), but Desura don’t offer an API to integrate into to show achievements outside of Cubemen like Steam does.
is this jsut a 2player multiplayer game?
It is single player, multi-player against AI and multi-player against another human. Cheers
Do you mean by “iPad2+” the “new iPad” (aka 3rd gen) ?
If so, why
? The new iPad is not faster than the 2nd generation one D:
I mean iPad 2 and later so in this case the 3. The 3 is not faster in CPU that the 2, but much faster in GPU and has more memory, so definitely an improvement.
…
pass…until there’s a demo…
looks great and seems like good gameplay…
Reminds me of SpaceChem…which wore thin fast…
This Game would be the perfect game to have a level editor in! I love it. Co-op would also be fun, or just more multiplayer components. This is a really amazing game! Keep up the good work.
MAKE A DEMO O_O O_O O_O O_O
Too bad, it doesn’t run on a MacBook with Intel GMA950 integrated grahics.
Cubemen fires up, but during gameplay all that’s displayed is a large brown area with game control overlays. Screenshot: http://cl.ly/1u1w0d3H000M3n3I0n0k
great game mates
funny and smart 
Are there any plans to support Linux in the future? I’d buy it again for that.
Purchased this game yesterday and already I am in love with it. I would just like to go ahead and repeat a request someone else made. This really would expand the replay value if there was a level editor, or something built in to randomly generate maps. Also just purchased this for my roommate on Steam so we can now battle head to head. Love the concept! Love the game!
also on iphone4-4s or only ipad?
Just iPad 2+
will there be one for ipod touch 4+ ?
No, no iPhone or iPod support, sorry.
Wont work on a Macbook pro/air with the Intel 3000 video chip then?
It does here on my MacBook Pro
The issue is the GMA 9X series and others between that and the latest HD integrated GPU’s…
So it won’t run on a macbook pro/air with the Intel HD3000 video chip?
I just replied to your last exact question… It does here on my MacBook Pro
The issue is the GMA 9X series and others between that and the latest HD integrated GPU’s…
I didn’t see my post. So i made a new one
Then i’ll give it a try! thanks.
Can’t wait for this to hit iOS tonight. Just bought a new iPad and I’ve been waiting for this game!!!
Bought this on my new iPad. Really looking forward to playing but it always crashes just when it loads the title screen
Working now Niallo… Sorry, a server side glitch thats now fixed! Please try again
Very cool, Already loaded since find this game review from the ipadgamereviews.org !!
Will release a version for iPhone?
No, sorry, the screen is too small to allow for a good experience.
I’ve just started playing
But I notice that things start running slow and the game crashes just as the action is getting intense –
Disappointing…
will it work on ipad 1??
Why is it only for iPad 2?
iPad 2+… so 2 and 3 and whatever is next from Apple
But as in, why not iPad 1
Because the iPad 1 is way too slow. Cubemen just doesn’t run well on it. Sorry.
Iv got an iPad 2
Wow great game, this and Oil Rush really redefine the TD Genre!
Great game but one thing, the Name of your game is a little bit odd because searching in google for cubemen game or something is not really succesfull.
Hi 3 Sprockets!
I was really impressed with Cubemen. It’s a great game!
I compose and produce music and sound effects for animation, games, film, tv, audiobooks, and iPhone/iPad applications.
If you’re in need of original music, sound design/effects or audio editing for any of your apps, or know any other developers that are looking for such services, please let me know! You can check out my online portfolio here:
http://www.mikeweisermusic.com/credits/games/
Nice job on all your application development so far! Let me know if I can be involved with future apps as well as updates of current software.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks!
Mike Weiser
PLZ MAKE FOR IPAD1
iPad 1 is too slow, sorry. Cubemen is only for iPad 2+
CAN U PLZ MAKE AND IPAD 1 version?!?!?!?!? Even if it’s slow?!
ME AND MY FRIENDS WANNA BUY this game it looookkkkssss AWESOMEEEEE but can u make it for the iPad even if it’s slow?
PLZ MAKE DOR IPAD 1
Can it run on Macbook early 2008 with intel GMA X3100 GPU??
Sounds like a really good game I wish they made it on I pod So I could play it !!!
I got my new iPad tomorrow, is cubemen already supporting Retina Display?
Edit: It is! AWESOME!
Last night i built my defense and left it on all night! Now i have half my men gone and over 1,000,000 points
why only for ipad 2 Dx
why not on ipod 4??
We only support Cubemen on iPad 2+, no iPhone and no iPod.
Free demo?
Will it ever be for iPad or will it forever be iPad2?
Only ever iPad 2 or higher.
why no android?
can mac app store buyers verse steam buyers?
Yes, all online games are cross platform, so long as both players are using the same Cubmen version
Great game! I play it on my MBP, hours! Can you bring it also to Ipad 1? PLEASE!!! Matteo
to bad there is no way to make your own levels, that would be fun.
how do u play online or with another computer
Will it be for Android soon?
“that misex TD and RTS” – I believe you meant “mixes”?
Can you make a mode controlling the red? (I don’t know if there is)…
I’ve thought about it, but I have much bigger and better stuff I am working on for 1.1
bought for iPad but will not automatically download for iMac–do you have to buy it twice?
Of course, they are totally different stores. That is an Apple thing, not a developer thing. Apple might use the same login, but no apps/games on the two stores are linked when purchased. Sorry.
Bought it for the iPad 3 but it will not automatically download for the iMac–why? DOes one have to buy it twice?
This game is really fun to pass the time.
Me and my sister kept playing for hours and hours because we always got the mortar guy first.
For us he’s very useless in the start of the game. But when we get in the heat of battle, it’s a welcome addition to our game.
The graphics are very simple i have to say, but are very detailed and nice.
The different classes are very unique from anything i’ve seen before, I thought Mike was some guy with a very powerful weapon, But the I found out he was a Medic and that really paid off.
Lazlo and Ricky are the ones me and my sister are trying to get first, As they are the most powerful in the heat of battle. This is very easy to play on an iPad 2 and very great indie title, I am hoping for more updates like more characters, a Map making system, and anything you guys can get your creative brains on to.
Thanks Carlos, I am glad you are enjoying Cubemen so much. I am hard at work on the MEGA 1.1 update that has lots of new cool stuff in it. This is a very big update, so I am not rushing it as I want it to be everything it can be. Stay tuned…
Das spiel ist gut
what about mac computers?
It says there is mac support on steam and desura
do u have to portforward to play with friends on steam
No port forwarding or NAT translation required. Some corporate firewalls block UDP, but so long as you have a clear path to the internet, network games can be hosted and joined cross platform.
Ok thankx
if we buy the first one do we get v1.1 free(as an update) or do we have to pay for that too
All updates to Cubemen are free
Looks great~~
Bought it on Steam last week
The only problem I had with this game is the scores…
Maybe cuz I played too much defense grid…
this scoring system gives me headaches…
and its not clear how to achieve high score.
Its would ultimately damage your game…
Without a clear scoring system… its hard to make this game competitive…
since if I have no idea how the scoring works… I might just end up finishing the game and thats it…
there would be no replayability.
though I like the overall design of your game…
I will not recommend it to my defense grid friends…
The new 1.1 update due out this week has a much clearer breakdown of scores at the end of the defense levels and a proper end game ladder for Skirmish and Mayhem games. Cheers
Very impatient with Indievania for the verison 1.1 update.
Please could you make this for the iPad 1, you would get so much more money it doesn’t matter if you just make it compatible for the iPad 1 but please could you do something about this I really want to play this game on my iPad 1.
It’s not about the money. The iPad1 is just not fast enough to run more than the basic few levels. Sorry. I am always looking at ways to improve performance, but how would you feel if you bought Cubemen for your iPad1 only to be told you can’t play 2/3 of the game? Not good hey?
Yes you are right about that but at least you get something I mean who has the money to go out and buy like a 500$ dollar iPad 2 to just get this game I mean with our economy going down it’s hard enough to get jobs to earn that kinda money if you know what I mean but it’s fine thank you for your time and I’m sorry I bothered you thank you.
I bought that game on steam and It works on Laptop I bought for $110 in convertation (I’m russian).
A mini version of the game could be on Android and you guys could replace the buy the game button with donate button (Free game).
they need to make money too XD
Love the game. Keep working on it and maybe it will be little more advance.
Change music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just make the map editor please…
Mine crashed
Why does it need a camera T—T I have first generation iPad this is rediculace why can’t it be for my iPad too.
Because as I have written 100 times already, your iPad 1 is too slow to play Cubemen. Sorry.
Some arhivements need to be fixed: bonus freezer, bonus destroyer & bonus healer – I got them when I picked up summary 20 FR/DE/HE bonuses, but description says that there are 50 bonuses picked up, also there are twin archivements – pick up freezer/destroyer/etc that rly work if you summary pick up 50 bonuses.
Also Cube Master 25k
Sry for frakin tripleposting but also Steam review need to be fixed: New Features tells about key features
Please have an update that allows for a co-op defense mode!!!!! I love the game so please keep up the good work!
U DID AN AWESOME JOB:it is a fantastic game for all ages
I wish for a mode were you can just crush them, you set up your units first, unlimited cubes to buy your cubemen and then you send in the waves, it would be cool , thanks!
oh and I have spent 10 hours in one day so far, I finished every map in every mode and played 3 multiplayer mahems before wathching the Spain VS Italia match.
Any chance of an Android release? My Galaxy S3 quad-core is itching to get some quality games such as Cubemen.
Absolutely Spectacular game! it combines my favorite to types of games into one. I just bought this for me and my brother last night and we did a mayhem that lasted 58 waves. 22 of them were between the cpu and the rest were between me and him! Cant wait for the level editor and keep up the good work!
I have installed the last update in IPad 2, and the application doesn’t work after the update. Are you aware of this problem ?
i love the game by the pichures
man its for steam too
LOL
Bought this thing on a whim, after i seen it was 2 bucks on the Steam shop. I have to admit. It’s really damn fun!
I hope that this game gets really popular really fast!
I picked up this game via steam and have to say that I really like it. The only thing bad I have to say right now is, I think the fact the ability to play a ‘skirmish’ is only via a random person is a bit of a let down. Wish there was a way to challange/invite a steam friend to a skirmish game.
You can set up a password and tell it to him as I did so many times.
should release on android market!
they should add something like deployable machine guns or portals
Turrets… hhmm… Nice Idea!!!
I don’t know what happened, but since the update it was really impossible to multiplay this game with my friend. The cubemen remained alive even though the health was 0. These “health-zero” men couldn’t be attacked by my men but still could attack mine. Playing was impossible and not fun anymore! Please fix this! We love this game!
+! The game is rly bugged but Seon did a nice work – NEW MAPS ARE PERFECT, but there are more multip. bugs – sometimes my cubemen just don’t attack enemies but I’m still winning and n00bs are still disconnecting when they have only one life left)
Very very thanks for this wonderful game! I love it… This Game has what everybody wants: A friendly war simulation with custumize armys and funny effekts! And all 3D!!!!!
xD Its great fum to play it with Friends in a Party ^^
<3 3Sprockets!!!
Can you make zoomed victory cutscenes when lost/won? Would be nice to see “higlights” of the game like in fifa or madden
Also, can you add diffrernt music/sounds for each mode/level?
During couning points there should be esc key to skip it.
Some nice tron alike backgrounds would be nice
And here are suggestions for new cubeman characters:
– miner
– wall builder
I think there won’t your specs suggestions, also you can skip that “counting points” by pressing W or setted key. Cutscenes? dunno
win will the map editor be out
Need a demo
Well, I bought the game on steam, for my mac. “Could not find steam client” EVERY time I launch it. I figured it was something to do with overloading steam server with the summer sale. I waited two weeks, same deal. The fix for windows was to run the game with administrator permissions, but I am already running it as an administrator. Is it just me?
how do u start this game is there a play cubemen buttton
i cant get it
thares no way i can get this game
Hey, I’m gonna download this game in 2 days time, is it really fun to play?
Some ideas to make the unit placement become more of a matter, and add some optional twist to map-makers in the future.
The obstaces:
-Window-like blocks, which has the bottom and the top third, but can be shot trough the middle hole. This woud provide large cover. Trough Flint and Ricky may have some trouble shoting trough it… (To avoid theese close-mid range freaks have a huge defensive advantage, baancing out it a bit)-Low walls: Can be jumped over easily, not a big obstace to walking, but give a nice cover for your troops in tough firefights. Light cover is better than nothing, just watch out, mortar shells might be more devastating in such small place.The movement helper:-Ladders. Well, I couldn’t figure out how they would be done in the game engine, but they would allow our dear colorful boxhead soldiers to cimb more than 1 block, only in 1 side of a block, without needing to make stair-like structures in the future map-editor.And an idea for the map editor:HUGE maps will be a request very soon after map editor release I fear, and personally I would to make a huge warzone too. Just to see some BIG battles
HI, would you recommend the iPad or the Mac version for the best possible experience with the game.
It is on AppStore already, as well as for mac on steam
I understand that. Was just checking which is the version that the creator of the game believes better brings the game to life.
i would reccomend the desktop version but it really depends on your desktop graphics and hardware.
Is there a User Guide anywhere?
I LUV THIS GAME! IT IS THE PERFECT GAME FOR A NETBOOK
thnx for the game
