Herocraft, a Russian mobile applications and games developer and publisher, today announced the release of Cuboid for iOS, a stunning 3D puzzle game in which players navigate ancient ruins and lush environments, maneuvering a rectangular block through mystical exits. Cuboid, a previous best selling title on the PlayStation® Network, is developed by Creat Studios, produced and co-published by i-Free Innovations, and is now available on the App Store as a free download for iPad, iPhone and iPod  Touch.

Featuring 77 twisted puzzles and 3 beautifully vibrant environments, the game challenges players of all ages in a variety of mind-bending ways to flip and rotate the game’s main object — the ancient artifact Cuboid — to stand on and pass through a level’s mystical exit as fast and with as few moves as possible, all-the-while being careful not to fall off the map. Starting with simple concrete surfaces, players will find Cuboid easy to play, however, as gameplay advances, players are faced with intriguing obstacles such as fragile tiles, switches, teleporters, or levels that impose move limits to complete the maps.

“Cuboid takes a simple concept and stretches it into an insanely addictive puzzler,” said Pavel Prokonich, CEO of HeroCraft. “Aside from easy-to-use gameplay mechanics, Cuboid also delivers with unmatched visual clarity and nicely implemented sound effects, fully immersing players in the game’s head-scratching charm.”

“Re-inventing a critically acclaimed game for mobile devices was a challenging task, but we felt that in the end Cuboid would greatly benefit from touch interfaces and the immense beauty of Retina displays,” said Kirill Petrov, managing director, i-Free Innovations. “Altogether this allows players to plunge even deeper into the mysteries of this enthralling, highly challenging and impressively beautiful game.”

You can download Cuboid form the App Store via this link. Enjoy!

Creat Studios and coaching center Yord have announced the new Test Yourself series for iOS. A serious scientific product developed by a team of Yord‘s professional psychologists and counselors, Test Yourself has been adapted into a great new series of seven mobile games from Creat Studios, makers of the original Test Yourself, one of the top selling PSN indie games of 2011.

The first two games, Boost Your Intelligence and Boost Your Reactions, are available now on the App Store for both iPad and iPhone. Following close behind, Boost Your Memory, Boost Your Attention, Boost Your Emotional IQ, Boost Your Creativity, and Boost Your Perception will be rolling out in the weeks ahead. Finishing all seven games gives you a glimpse into the workings of your mind and may explain why you do the things you do!

“There is so much unknown about how and why we do things that people are naturally curious to learn about,” said Vladimir Starzhevsky, CEO of Creat Studios.  “Our new game series gives folks a fun way to gauge where they stack up in society, and offers ways to improve different elements of their brain.”

Boost Your Intelligence is loaded with fun tests that were developed with the help of psychology professionals to test the basic parameters of your intelligence.  Abilities evaluated include synthesizing and analyzing information, understanding and making analogies, as well as deeper functions like determining topological conclusions. How about your reaction time? Find out with Boost Your Reactions, a great series of challenging tests that gauge your response time to both visual and audio stimuli. They provide interesting insight into your personal “read-and-react” time and ways to improve it so that the next time someone says: “Think Fast!” you’ll be ready.

All games come with a leaderboard so you can see how you stack up against others, as well as an expert analysis of your psychological attributes and how you can improve, a Self-Test, a Training Mode, and a Knowledge Library where you can learn more about your psychological health.

Both apps are available for $1.99 for iPad and $0.99 for iPhone.
