About
Planet Cube: Edge throws players into a peaceful, cube-shaped world disrupted by an unknown force. Taking on the role of Edge, a skilled engineer who is able to shoot, jump, and dash, play focuses on navigating through an Underwater Weapons Facility, packed full of enemies and perils aplenty.
Sunna Entertainment’s epic places the arts of precision and skill front and center, dressing the entire adventure in beautifully handcrafted pixel art. It’s a classic combination of being easy to learn but hard to master, delivering the kind of addictive ‘just one more go’ flow indie core players thrive on.
