Hubert McCubert, a small blue cube seeking a quiet life, draws the relentless pursuit of the evil Crimson Cube Posse in this retro action arcade game. Players dodge waves of enemies closing in from all sides, relying on wits, agility, teleporters, bombs, and obstacles to survive. A turn-based mode adds strategic depth, while five game speeds and an always-moving player option ramp up the challenge.
Randomized playthroughs across 20 levels keep sessions fresh, with boss fights every fifth level in Challenge Mode and a high score table for bragging rights. Change background colors to echo old console aesthetics. This customizable tea-break title suits fans of simple, punishing arcade action on PC.
The Ancient Art of Staying Alive is a highly customisable tea-break arcade game in which you play Hubert McCubert, a small blue cube looking for a quiet life who for some reason (*bonus feature* - make up your own reason!) attracts the attention of the evil Crimson Cube Posse. Using his wits, cunning, agility and perhaps the odd teleporter or bomb, Hubert must stay alive while facing wave after wave of enemies all homing in on him at once...
Based on the old "Daleks" game, TAAOSA turns the concept into an arcade game. Unashamedly retro in every aspect, if you want amazing visuals then look elsewhere, but if you want a simple, challenging game that's randomised every time you play it, you might just find this to be your cup of tea.
