Six Sided Sanctuary is a puzzle game where you are a cube, you can attach panels to each of your six sides; each panel has special properties that allow it to preform various tasks such as:

    Traverse Water
    Fly
    Climb Walls
    Relocate Minecarts
    Bounce Really High

Of course having panels does not necessarily mean you will solve every puzzle, you will need to organize the panels on yourself in such a way that you are sure you can solve each part of the puzzle. Orientation of the cube and where panels are positioned matters obviously.

This is a very interesting expansion upon the 'flipping cube puzzle' genre (or whatever official title it holds). Your exploration of what is possible in these designs is what really sticks out in this project. Having the player modify the cube's faces is complex, but can allow for depth and variation. In particular, I thought the gameplay elements of the railroad tracks and moving blocks were cool; I think you could make a whole game out of that idea if you wanted to.

All you need are some visually appealing backgrounds.

Oh, and the sound effects are grating upon the ears. You want to either find higher fidelity samples or significantly decrease the current sounds' volume. In particular, the air boost sound is really bad, and made me cringe every moment before I stepped onto one.

But otherwise, this is great.

Thank you, I'll hopefully be changing around sounds very soon; as well as getting unique sounds for touching each type of material(wood, stone, metal, etc)

It just crashes for me with a "Six Sided Sanctuary has stopped working" error. ...vshost.exe does the same.

Could I have the specs of your PC?

[epcc]

Windows 7 Ultimate
2GB ram
3 GHz Pentium 4 (can't remember which one exactly)
Radeon 6670/integrated Geforce 7100
random ATA 40GB hard drive
nForce 630i motherboard, with really weird sound drivers that sometimes fail OpenAL context creation.

I assume it's crashing on startup? EDIT: Try this:

yes, it crashes on startup, the new fix too.
maybe write a log file thing? i've found them really useful in similar situations.

Sorry this took so long.

It only records a few basic things but it should give me enough help to figure out when things are going awry.

Ah wonderful Didn't realize you needed it so blame me for that one. Let me know how you like it.

[epcc]

not being too good at puzzle games, i didn't even finish the first level. getting that cube in the right position to roll over the columns required much more thinking than i usually like to do when playing computer games.
either that, or you should make the first levels more easier.
maybe i just missed something really obvious.

I liked this! Nice and puzzly.

Some of the levels got a bit long, and I found myself wanting an English Country Tune style undo system.

Stopped at the first train tracks level. I *think* that the game glitched out and wouldn't open the exit when I brought the crate over to the button on the southern plateau.
