Cubix - The first 3D platformer of its kind for the ZX Spectrum!

Trawling through X looking for some new games to be announced on Indie Retro News, and I think I've found a game that really stands out. This game doesn't just look fun to play, but according to @RetroSouls, is a masterpiece from @ssmirnov_dev. Welcome to the new homebrew of 'Cubix' by Gogin. A game which was recently entered into the YRGB 2025 competition. The first 3D platformer of its kind for the ZX Spectrum. A game that takes place in the distant geometric universe of Cubix, where the laws of physics obey symmetry, and the world consists of ideal cubes.
