Overview
Cubic Ninja is a puzzle video game developed and published by AQ Interactive for the Nintendo 3DS. It was released in Japan in April 2011 and internationally in June 2011 by Ubisoft. The game requires players to use the console's accelerometer and gyroscope to manipulate the titular character through various levels on a quest to rescue a princess. The game was released to mixed reviews; although praised for its unique gameplay concept, critics panned aspects of the game's control scheme, along with its "frustrating" wired level designs and relatively short length. Despite its poor reception, the game would eventually gain infamy due to an exploit allowing users to homebrew their console.
