Welcome to Rubik's Puzzle World - an abstract environment populated by "Cubies" which make up the game's DNA. Rubik's Puzzle World takes the shape, functionality and concept behind the famous Rubik's Cube but twists and turns the rules to transform it into a unique Puzzle filled game experience for players of all ages. Get ready for a collection of games infused with the mental challenges which made the original Rubik's Cube such a hit. The construction of the games will challenge your brain, enable you to solve increasingly difficult puzzles, and develop your logical capabilities - while having lots of fun! So take a trip inside the Rubik's Cube and enter an abstract world of Rubik's themed puzzles - each as addictive as the original cube we know and love. [The Game Factory]

There’s plenty here to twist and turn your brain.

Rubik’s World is probably one of the only games to come out last year with vastly different game types that almost never connect to the greater whole and still managed to be very playable.

You’ll need an appreciation for the cube itself to get the most out of this (and you may want to destroy whoever programmed the chirpy music and decided to call the cubes “cubies” and give them a story) but it’s a solid value for puzzle players.

Some activities are highly entertaining; others are disappointing.

Game Chronicles
Rubik’s World is a fun puzzle game starring the cubie, those smaller parts of the whole Rubik’s cube, and is worth taking a crack at.

File this one under 'niche puzzler', if you've got the patience, that is. [Christmas 2008, p.103]

Gamervision
Rubik’s World is a title that had potential, but unfortunately it was lost among the dull and pointless exercises included in this game.

Gaming Nexus
Rubik’s World has the right idea, but counter-intuitive puzzles, less-than-helpful instructions and finicky controls make this game more aggravating than mind-bending.
