    What is Qublix? Qublix is a modern update of the classic sliding tile puzzle game (sometimes also called an "8" or "15" tile game). A Qublix puzzle is composed of six separate two dimensional sliding tile puzzles, one puzzle on each side of a cube. The outer edges of these individual puzzles share their blocks with the puzzles on the adjacent sides. In order to solve a Qublix puzzle, the player must solve the puzzle (i.e. construct an image) on each side. Sounds simple. However, since each of the side puzzles is dependent on the adjacent sides, moving a block on one side affects the blocks on other sides.

    Cool stuff. Do you have plans on porting it to any other platforms...such as the GP2X (he asks hopefully)

    Well, one of the reasons I backported it to DX8 was to make it easier to port to the Xbox. I would have liked to get it on the GBA or DS, but I am about to start up the OneZero project and do not have the time right now to port it to anything else.
