    "Qbik" is a fun puzzle game with an editor to create and share your own levels. It has a growing community, so you will always have something new to play. There are different devices like portals, transporters, lifts and pressure gates. If you make a mistake, there's a handy undo feature that rewinds time. The levels are quite clever and the editor is intuitive. Recommended

    Qbik is a fun little puzzle game with relativly simple mechanics, that will constantly challange you with new levels and ideas. Game consists of 7 chapters. Each chapter introducess you to new mechanics like moving platforms or teleports that keep the game fresh wihtout making it overly complicated. Above that, the game has a level editor, and a steadily growing comunity constantly making new leves to play, which means you will always have something new to challange yourself with. Overall,…

    I enjoy puzzle games, and this has simular mechanics as BoulderDash & Crystal Mines. Your goal (at this point at least) is to eat the yellow block working your way down. Someblocks fall with gravity and some stay stationary. thats where the thinking ahead several moves comes in, because you cannot go back up. also theres a convenient rewind button incase you miscalculate your jurney to the bottom. their introducing new types of blocks as the levels go by, so i expect this to get more…

    Looks can be deceptive - the simple style and mechanics can hide some surprising challenges. This game truly proves that in a solid fashion. The idea is simple - the player has to aid a blue cube named Qbik in navigating caverns. In each level the winning condition is the same - succeeding in making Qbik eat all the yellow cubes in the cavern. Each level is different and might require quite a lot of planning at times, especially when there are new elements to the environment such as switches,…

    This is a great puzzle game that requires lots of planing,Im only halfway through but I can say that its not an easy or casual puzzler.

    Maybe it is the dreary music... I just couldn't get further than 30 levels... that's even when they introduced a new mechanic... it just felt like a chore rather than an "aha" moment. Rather, when you have that "aha" moment, it was followed with this dreaded sense of tiring workload.

    A really fun and cleverly designed puzzle game where you guide little Qbik (the square protagonist) through the different levels of a labyrinth by eating all the yellow blocks. The mechanics in the game are very well done. Qbik is subjected to gravity and can only go back up by using teleporters or lifts if any. There are also interruptors than need to be activated to open some door or raise some platform. Some levels are challenging, but none is impassable if you take your time and put your…

    underground pixely movement puzzler, kinda like boulder dash without arcade elements. 63 levels in 7 chapters, sadly, only one level is unlocked at a time, solve a few in a pack to open the next. except the number doesn't mean that level but a total amount, as I learned to my cost near the end. ♥♥♥♥ move to make it seem like you're generous in unlocking multiple packs in case somebody gets stuck on the single available level in the current one. make it a countdown or say 'complete 46 levels to…

    Qbik is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it was a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab from greedy mobile devs. The mobile app is a block pathing puzzle not too much different from Sokoban, except you're in some underground mine, so gravity and special blocks feed into the puzzle solving elements. The mobile app is presented with very poor, lazy 2D "retro" minimalist pixel "art", to add insult to injury. From a technical perspective, as a mobile app, this doesn't meet…

    Summary: Qbik is a neat and overall well-made puzzle game. My Experiences: I got this game for about $0.50, so my experiences may be skewed. That's why I'm marking it as having recieved it for free. I thought the puzzles were creative and clever, and I felt the difficulty curve was well done.The rewind mechanic, although not unique, was very helpful for experimenting with potential solutions. The various mechanics and blocks were simple, yet the puzzles still got surprisingly complex while…

    You are going to steer small one-eyed squared shape... something. I don't know what it is but after while it became my friend. I like it sounds and comments in a comics bubbles. I just want to help it to go through the mazes filled with various types of blocks and feed it with yellow ones :). This game has simple but high quality graphic - I love it because it's kind of nostalgic to me. Mechanics for sure will give you hours of play. Game becomes more challenging after couple of levels but…

    This game deserves more attention. It checks many boxes on my list of what a good puzzle game should be. First, the mechanic is simple to understand - find a path to eat all yellow blocks - but it grows in complexity as new elements are added, like moving platforms and teleporters. Later levels will test everything you learned, becoming challenging but not too hard. The danger is that you make a wrong move and lock the path to certain places, but if you do, fear not! You can easily undo as…

    A simple puzzle game about passing through all the target cubes on a level. It is reasonably challenging, but somehow kind of boring. It does feature important quality of life features, such as being able to rewind at any point back as many steps as you wish and then continue on, rather than having to start over from scratch. Mouse input is supported and works well, or use a controller (which I mildly preferred). But I soon got bored and never finished.

    A fun little puzzle game with great graphics and lovely sound effects. You can make your own levels and share them, or just play what others created. Achievements are pretty straight forward and non are bugged. Highly recommended!

    Qbik is a 2D navigation puzzle game. Minimalistic, but well executed design, fluent gameplay, and excellent puzzles. Many of them are quite hard, too. Very much recommended.

    Qbik is a game that surprised me with its execucion. Even though the concept and mechanics in the game are very simple, authors took care to set the game in some environment, make a hero which is not bland and some little story. Qbik, as it is also a name of the hero, is a talking square. He says many sentences that are friendly and pretty funny. Personally I liked this very much and found it motivational to go further. Level design is very good. The initial caves are easy and the difficulty…

    Qbik, developed by Norbert Palacz and published by Forever Entertainment S.A., is a minimalist puzzle-platform game that embraces simplicity while offering a surprisingly complex and methodical challenge beneath its retro exterior. The premise is immediately charming yet straightforward: players control a small, one-eyed square creature tasked with consuming every yellow block in each level. Set within an underground world of pixelated caverns, the player must carefully navigate tight spaces,…

    I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand…

    Meh. I spent over 13 hours and solved 38 out of the 64 levels, so I feel I gave this game a fair shot at introducing more interesting elements in the hope of redeeming it's initial negative impression on me. And yes, some new elements are gradually introduced. Unfortunately, in the end, almost very level just felt more tedious than fun. There were never any real "aha!" moments where I felt really smart for figuring it out. Most of the challenge is just figuring out the order to attack the…

    Pretty tedious / miserable past the first few levels. Given only ~7% of people even bothered to beat the first level, I feel like I made a mistake picking this one up, but it seems that like me, most people who bothered playing the first chapter committed to clearing the whole game. Don't join us.

    Qbik is a great puzzle game. Though the style may seem quite simple at first and there aren't a wide variety of mechanics, the levels are cleverly designed and some of them can be quite challenging. The rewind button is a nice feature, really helps sometimes, as well as the level editor if you want to dig deeper into this game. Honestly, I had a fun time playing it. Very much recommended!

    Qbik is one of my favourite puzzle games and it is really sad that it isn't more popular. The main puzzles are fantastic, and the game feels very polished. There is also a level editor, and I really enjoy making puzzles in it. If you love puzzle games, Qbik is absolutely worth a try.

    Very interesting puzzle game. I like how at the end of every level it shows the amount of moves that other players take to beat the level. There is also a level editor that will help whenever you beat all the levels. Got it on sale, definitely worth it.
