The Cubic Color Confusion soundtrack will be available on Steam as soon as possible. Too bad i didn't realize that thing with the page sooner. But the page itself is online right now. store.steampowered.com/app/5530920/
Cubic Color Confusion Soundtrack on Steam
This is the complete soundtrack of Cubic Color Confusion, containing over one hour of music from different genres in 24 tracks.

#AI cloning of unfinished products and releasing before the real thing was predicted in the 1987 movie Space Balls. We should've known this would come - almost 40 years ago they already knew of the concept of "Instant Cassettes".
Not having a clone of your game being made is one of the worse ways of realizing your game isn't for everyone. Or maybe there are games that easier to clone and then there are games that are harder to clone. Probably a mix of both. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev
Ok. Just found out that a Soundtrack on Steam requires its own Store and Build Review, which is why I'm unable to release it at the same time as the main game because it's only 11 days until November 4th. Oh well, guess there won't be a Soundtrack Bundle at Release 😢
Cubic Color Confusion releases November 10th. I uploaded the (hopefully) final build of the game to Steam. Some numbers: 5 Tutorial Levels 100 Campaign Levels ~5000 Moves to complete the whole game Avg Moves 1-50: 27 Avg Moves 51-100: 62 Highest: 250 store.steampowered.com/app/4759190/

Who could have sent that "Hello?"? A mystery inside a normal puzzle game? What's your job as an operator? What does Hullet Corporation want? Is there another interested party in play? Play Cubic Color Confusion on November 10th to find out! #indiegame #puzzle #steamgame
Haven't really touched the game since i made that last level except that Music pause/continue fix. Will do some story/lore stuff in the coming week hopefully - not that anyone cares, but the product has to be finished!
#AI, I want you to clone my game. Demo available for inspiration. I want to see what you guys cook. Release November 10th, you have almost 2 weeks. Let's see if careful design and planning wins against automated cloning. #steamgame #gamedev #indiegame store.steampowered.com/app/4759190/

I just released a really small Update for Cubic Color Confusion. I heard a bit of feedback about the "Pause Music when out of focus" feature and added a toggle to the Options. By default, the soundtrack will now keep playing when tabbing out of the game.
Will today mark a return to the first two days of #steamnextfest related Wishlist numbers? Probably not, but hope dies last. Cubic Color Confusion depends on your support, and if you deem it worthy after checking out the Demo, let me know!
My game just hit 1,000 wishlists during Steam Next Fest! My wife decided that was worth celebrating and made these brownies, complete with pixel art characters from the game! Not a bad way to celebrate. 😋 store.steampowered.com/app/4945980/...
#steamnextfest, for all its problems, seems to help Cubic Color Confusion get some attention. It's still niche by any means, but it's cool to see that spike happen, even if it's small in absolute numbers compare to other games. Thank you everyone! #indiedev #gamedev #steamgame
I am happy to see over 140 Wishlists. Thanks to everyone trying the Demo. It means so much to me that I am not the only person in the world thinking that the game i made had to be made. ❤️
Well, who would've guessed. 100 campaign levels created finally. I'm "leapfrogging" the development process :D Any idea as to why that level might be named like that? #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #puzzle
With NextFest rolling around, of course i am hoping for a serious push in visibility and Wishlists for CCC. But the achievement here is having created a real game that exists, critical and/or financial success is the bonus. The journey is the real reward, and everything learned.
For some reason, being productive when not under stress in any form is really hard for me - the closer i got to finishing the game, the less i did daily because the release date was so far away. I need some sort of pressure to shine - kind of like a diamond.
Oh, did I mention Cubic Color Confusion releases on November 10th? Listen to the aptly named (and new) song "Whatever" while staring that that release date imprinted on the grid. #indiedev #indiegame #indiedev #puzzle #steamgame
"All in One" - literally. This level features every mechanic that is in the game (except Wildcards, which are more of a built-in cheat than a mechanic). A fitting puzzle before the final level. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #puzzle #steamgame
Which Jelly Cube is going to be the "King of the Hill" in this newest puzzle for Cubic Color Confusion? While this isn't too hard to solve, finding the minimal move count isn't trivial. store.steampowered.com/app/4759190/ #indiegame #gamedev #puzzle #steamgame
A new week begins. Plan for this week: finishe the 3 remaining levels. Attainable goal.
Welcome to "Platforms" - a Tower variant of the Demo challenge "Downward Spiral". Another mechanically simple level, but don't let that fool you. With over 70 moves PAR, this level won't be too easy. store.steampowered.com/app/4759190/ #indiegame #puzzle #steamgame
The level before the last campaign level provides an additional break for your tormented brain by offering a callback to the difficulty of earlier puzzles. Not trivial (especially reaching gold), but a welcome and "Deserved Break".
Some levels during end-game are meant to be relax you a bit, like "Recoloring Spree". Play the Demo and Wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4759190/ #indiegame #puzzle #steamgame
Roughly two weeks until Next Fest starts. Visibility is still a major issue. As always, I won't ask you to just wishlist Cubic Color Confusion without reason. Play the demo, let it convince it deserves more visibility, let it make you want to wishlist it. store.steampowered.com/app/4759190/

And this is how the last level looks. It's only the "Cubican" you have to navigate through this puzzle, but without spoiling too much, it's still over 100 moves required to reach that single goal. Play the demo to prepare and Wishlist now on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4759190
It's been some time, but finally inspiration struck again. Take a look at "Second Time's A Charm" and "Assistance". Leaning heavily into the 3D element of the game, these two levels are a pleasure for the eye, but a pain for the mind 😉 #indiegame #puzzlegame #steamgame
No wait I needed that! If you guys haven't checked out "Cubic Color Confusion" by @eyesolateddev.bsky.social then please do! If you wanna see the demo, come check out my video of it: youtu.be/EgAeSGeRVNg?... #CubicColorConfusion #Indiegames #Puzzlegames
