Qbeh Is Cubey, Beautiful, And Free On Desura
Qbeh is an exquisite little thing: a first-person puzzle game with shades of Minecraft. By removing and then replacing cubes you explore your way through its levels. The entire thing is quite brief - just a couple of maps, and it really feels like a proof of concept rather than a full-blown thing - but free and therefore worth a bite. The team are now developing another first-person puzzle game called Aetheris, based on Qbeh. They describe this new game as "serene" and claim that "We’re using Beyond Good and Evil, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Half-Life 2 and of course Minecraft and Portal as both reference and sources of inspiration." That's due next summer, and I am tipping it for greatness right here and right now.
