Kublitz Cube

The graphics of Kublitz Cube represent a large cube made up of 27 smaller cubes, or cubelets - hence the name Kublitz. Two key features of the Kublitz Cube cubelets are:

1) The cubelets are separated from adjacent cubelets by a significant gap;
2) The colours of faces on opposite sides of every cubelet are always the same;

This design means that you are able to 'see' or know what colour is on every face of the large cube, since the opposite side of every hidden face, which has the same colour, can be seen as long as the gap is large enough. This is a major difference, and improvement, on traditional physical puzzle cubes, such as Rubik's, and their visual representations. Note: the gap between cubelets can be varied, but they are always kept separate, so that colour of the majority of hidden sides can be 'seen'.

Try to achieve the state in which the colours displayed on the outside of every one of the 6 faces of the large cube are all the same colour (a different colour for each of the 6 faces). This is effectively the same goal state as a traditional physical cube.

Rotate layers by sliding or tapping. In addition, Kublitz Cube supplies you with 4 Top Tools - sequences of rotations that overall make changes to the top layer, but not to the lower two layers. These tools can be used to help you solve Kublitz Cube and also a physical cube.

The extensive Help functionality includes Wolstenholme notation, which is used to specify layer and cube rotations. This is designed to make word-like rotation specifications, which, together with mnemonics, can help you remember the sequences of the top tools for when you wish to solve a physical cube, and can you really say you can solve the cube unless you can solve a physical cube?

The app is also available from i.compactfun.com if you cannot download from the Play Store. A web-based version that can be played on most browsers is also there.
