This last month was tough. We’ve been crunching analytics trying to figure out how we could make Planet Rabbit even more fun and engaging.
As a result we realized that a lot of players didn’t notice that the Aircraft in the game were upgrade-able. This meant most of them were trying to get through the game with the tutorial UFO, which makes the game very repetitive and boring.
Changes
To address this we’re releasing a new update for Planet Rabbit that will hopefully make this feature more accessible while also adding more clarity overall and a new bonus on the loading screens!
So, what’s new?
Primary changes:
The hanger (Upgrade Screen) is now more accessible and prominent than ever! Before the start of every mission you’ll have the option to choose which Aircraft you want to use, as well as buy new ones or upgrade your current favorite!
We’ve added a way for players to trial Aircraft before deciding if they’ll buy them or not. Similarly you wouldn’t want to buy a car without doing a test drive!

“Watch ad to try” option allows you to try a rocket 3 times per ad watched
Secondary changes:
The main menu is now streamlined and more clear;
The game over screen has been reworked and better organized;
The objectives screen has been simplified and now the game pauses when you want to check on your side objectives and progress.

If you’re looking for that next great game to add to your collection, then FEZ is just what the doctor ordered. What is FEZ? Is it a 2D platformer? Is it a 3D puzzle game? What if I told you that it is both? That’s right my fellow gamers, you have just come across a gem of a game. A game that is both 2D and 3D (and available on PS4 and Steam).
Graphics & Gameplay
FEZ is a fully pixelated game that makes beautiful 3D levels. The 2D portion of this game comes in the form of a 2D platformer. What makes this game 3D is that when you rotate the environment (which I will explain later) you can clearly see that each level is in fact 3D, but only being viewed from one angle of four at a time.
Sometimes you need to look at things from a fresh perspective.
So what do you do in FEZ? The goal in this game is to collect yellow cubes that have been scattered across the land. To do this you need to explore and solve puzzles. The cool thing about this game is how both the 2D and 3D are used together. You start off with a 2D view of each level as a platformer. What makes it cool is the variety of obstacles that this game throws at you.
Bounce pads, disintegrating floors, and invisible platforms are just a few traps that you will encounter. But in order to collect every cube you will have to use the power of the third dimension. In the beginning of the game you are given the power to travel in between the second and third dimension and rotate the level. It is your job to use this power to explore every nook and cranny. Using this power will let you reach different areas of the level you couldn’t reach before.
Careful, don’t fall.
Tips & Tricks
FEZ is a game of many secrets and collectibles. Solving puzzles will sometimes give you an anti-cube. Anti-cubes are blue and harder to find than the yellow cubes. Also one thing that you will like about this game is that if you fall from a high platform and die you will respawn in the same spot right before you fell. So don’t be afraid to explore high areas.
Another thing is that the more yellow cubes you find the more levels you will unlock. In this game you will either find yellow cubes or yellow cube shards. Collecting eight yellow cube shards will combine to make one whole yellow cube. Lastly, in the opening sequence of the game it may seem like the game has glitched. Don’t worry though, it’s all part of the game.
“Mysterious Cubes” could have been a good alternate title for this game.
Conclusion
I really loved playing FEZ. It was a very unique gameplay experience. The fact that this game is both 2D and 3D makes it that much better. I mentioned in the beginning that this game is a gem and I really meant it. There is really no other game out there like it. You can buy FEZ on the PlayStation store for 13 dollars or on steam for 10 dollars. Although I haven’t played FEZ on Steam, I would recommend playing it on the PS4, because in my opinion you’ll have better control over the main character using a controller. Well, now I’m off to play the next game to recommend…
