What is Cubemen?

Cubemen is out now for PC, Mac and iPad 2+

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 Desura and will launch on Steam on the 16th March, 2012, followed by the Mac App Store and iOS Store (iPad2+ only).

    Looks like a great game

  • Hugo Cardoso

    Before you buy, I wonder if there is expected to launch. (I am Brazilian, excuse the grammar google translator: P)

    • Anonymous

      We are planning on releasing Cubemen v1.0 in March this year :-)

  • Koinilogiki

    Νο demo, no purchase, sorry

    • Anonymous

      There will be a demo when it’s released but while it’s Alpha I wont be distributing a demo.

      • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_L7J2YCASZN2QG5Y6D6GH6KQNZA Kevin Marshall

        I was happy to find it released on Steam but can’t find a demo :(

        • http://3sprockets.com/ Seon Rozenblum

          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.

  • Koinilogiki

    No demo, no purchase, sorry

  • Jacky

    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.

    • Seon

      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 :-)

      • Jacky

         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 ^.^

    • Cairah

      do u have the darkness JACKY!!!!?????

      • Jacky

        I don’t play any horror games….
        or should I say… any games that increase my heart bit rate.

  • http://geeklob.wordpress.com/ Indigo Casson

    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.

    • seonr

      Yes Steam launch will include PC and Mac builds :-)

      • http://geeklob.wordpress.com/ Indigo Casson

        Thank god!

  • ddzev

    hi guys, i have a question, if i buy it on Desura, can i add the cd key in steam later ? Thanks.

    • http://3sprockets.com/ Seon Rozenblum

      If you buy on Desura and contact me via Desura about a steam key, I will hook you up. Cheers :-)

  • Nbyloo

    No iPad 2?

    • http://3sprockets.com/ Seon Rozenblum

      iPad 2 and Retina version is on the way… stay tuned.

  • http://twitter.com/Knightlore1978 Matt

    Hi, is this Online multiplayer?

    • http://3sprockets.com/ Seon Rozenblum

      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! 

  • Supagu

    Does this game have coop?

    • http://3sprockets.com/ Seon Rozenblum

      No co-op. Just single player or MP versus modes.

  • Jacky

    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?

    • http://3sprockets.com/ Seon Rozenblum

      For sure. We have big plans for Cubemen. This is just v1.0 :-)

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/XJXSXPKTVPET2RRQ266O2KHS4U Lance

    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!!

  • Randall

    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.

    • http://3sprockets.com/ Seon Rozenblum

      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 :)

  • http://ashcroft.myopenid.com/ Ashcroft

    Will this run on a MacBook with Intel GMA950 integrated grahics? Thanks!

    • http://3sprockets.com/ Seon Rozenblum

      No, we don’t support integrated GPU’s sorry. 

  • Suchyjeden

    Work on GeForce 7300 gt ?

    • http://3sprockets.com/ Seon Rozenblum

      Yes :-)

  • Andy

    Wait…you have to buy this from steam, but you can play it free on other websites?

    • Jacky

      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.

    • http://3sprockets.com/ Seon Rozenblum

      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.

      • Lorenzo Petrone

        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.

  • Th3r3alptm

    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.

    • http://3sprockets.com/ Seon Rozenblum

      All of the initial networking problems have been fixed in the 1.0.2 & 1.0.3 updates. 

  • Macgyver Olsen

    Glad I got to see this thing come to life! Great work! I am going to try to buy this today.

        -TehWut

  • Nager

    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 :D

    • http://3sprockets.com/ Seon Rozenblum

      There will be a demo eventually.

      • Aferbaln

         It’s been released right? Not beta anymore.
        Please make the demo soon, I never buy without trying the demo

  • IAmMarauder

    Will this come out on Android?
     

    • http://3sprockets.com/ Seon Rozenblum

      Possibly on the Kindle Fire in the futurte, but not other plans for Android at this time.

  • Bran G.

    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!

  • kr00lplatinum

    I just bought this via Desura because their offline solution works viruses Steam Offline. Wish it had the same achievements though…

    • http://3sprockets.com/ Seon Rozenblum

      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.

  • Eleanar

    is this jsut a 2player multiplayer game?

    • http://3sprockets.com/ Seon Rozenblum

      It is single player, multi-player against AI and multi-player against another human. Cheers :-)

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000100440863 Marian Frische

    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:

    • http://3sprockets.com/ Seon Rozenblum

      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…

  • a flying rHiNo

    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.

  • Christian

    MAKE A DEMO O_O O_O O_O O_O

  • http://twitter.com/ashcroft3000 Richard Ashcroft

    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

  • http://twitter.com/enderahmetyurt ender ahmet yurt

    great game mates :D funny and smart :P

  • Kyle Swartley

    Are there any plans to support Linux in the future? I’d buy it again for that.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/David-Marshall/569276908 David Marshall

    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!

  • Federico

    also on iphone4-4s or only ipad?

    • http://3sprockets.com/ Seon Rozenblum

      Just iPad 2+

      • Henry

        will there be one for ipod touch 4+ ?

        • http://3sprockets.com/ Seon Rozenblum

          No, no iPhone or iPod support, sorry.

  • Nicket

    Wont work on a Macbook pro/air with the Intel 3000 video chip then? :(

    • http://3sprockets.com/ Seon Rozenblum

      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…  

  • Nicket

    So it won’t run on a macbook pro/air with the Intel HD3000 video chip? :(

    • http://3sprockets.com/ Seon Rozenblum

      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…  

      • Nicket

         I didn’t see my post. So i made a new one :)

        Then i’ll give it a try! thanks.

  • Larry Anderson

    Can’t wait for this to hit iOS tonight.  Just bought a new iPad and I’ve been waiting for this game!!!

  • Niallo

    Bought this on my new iPad. Really looking forward to playing but it always crashes just when it loads the title screen :(

    • http://3sprockets.com/ Seon Rozenblum

      Working now Niallo… Sorry, a server side glitch thats now fixed! Please try again :-)

  • Mashpotato

    Very cool, Already loaded since find this game review from the ipadgamereviews.org !!

  • http://www.rleague.eu Lucio

    Will release a version for iPhone?

    • http://3sprockets.com/ Seon Rozenblum

      No, sorry, the screen is too small to allow for a good experience.

  • Erau2008

    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…

  • Random

    will it work on ipad 1??

  • George

    Why is it only for iPad 2?

    • http://3sprockets.com/ Seon Rozenblum

      iPad 2+… so 2 and 3 and whatever is next from Apple :-)

      • George

        But as in, why not iPad 1

        • http://3sprockets.com/ Seon Rozenblum

          Because the iPad 1 is way too slow. Cubemen just doesn’t run well on it. Sorry.

    • Ahmed

      Iv got an iPad 2

  • http://twitter.com/robotUNIXorn Stefan Keil

    Wow great game, this and Oil Rush really redefine the TD Genre!

  • http://twitter.com/robotUNIXorn Stefan Keil

    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.

  • Mike Weiser

    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

  • Redwooddavies@btinternet.com

    Will it ever be for iPad or will it forever be iPad2?

    Can you make a mode controlling the red? (I don’t know if there is)… :)

    • http://3sprockets.com/ Seon Rozenblum

      I’ve thought about it, but I have much bigger and better stuff I am working on for 1.1 :-)

  • guest

    bought for iPad but will not automatically download for iMac–do you have to buy it twice?

    • http://3sprockets.com/ Seon Rozenblum

      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.

  • RD

    Bought it for the iPad 3 but it will not automatically download for the iMac–why? DOes one have to buy it twice?

  • Carlos

    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.

    • http://3sprockets.com/ Seon Rozenblum

      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…
