Game overview

Side Off turns a single spinning cube into a fast-paced color-matching puzzle. You rotate the block so its faces line up with the incoming balls, snagging only the ones whose color matches while dodging the rest. The margins are tight and the pace is punishing, which is exactly what makes each clean run feel earned.

This title is best suited to quick reflex-based score chasing.

How to play Side Off

  1. Watch the color of each ball rolling toward the cube.
  2. Rotate the cube so the correct face faces the incoming ball.
  3. Collect matching balls and let mismatched ones pass.
  4. Keep pace as the balls arrive faster and faster.

Controls

  • Left mouse button / tap: Rotate the cube to the next face
  • Drag: Spin the cube toward a specific color
