Andy Qua Delivers ‘Cube Runner’ Sequel

Andy Qua has released a sequel to his original Cube Runner game tonight.

Cube Runner II [App Store] is a separate product from the original free app and is now a $2.99 product.

The basics of the game remain the same: fly your ship using your iPhone’s accelerometer while avoiding obstacles. In Cube Runner II, Qua has added a number of additional features:

  • Time Trial Mode
  • Internal level editor
  • Object editor, Stackable Blocks

The Time Trial mode allows you to tilt forward/backward to speed up and slow down. The game comes with 3 of the standard levels and 4 time-trial levels. As before, you can download custom creations. A community at Cuberun.org has sprung up to share levels for the original game.

While veterans of the original Cube Runner may want to compensate Qua for his efforts by purchasing the pay version, the new version fails to add much polish to the original effort. While the availability of a built-in level editor is nice, it is quite technical and unlikely to be of much interest to a casual player.

The original free version of Cube Runner also remains available in the App Store.
