Below is a promotional video, taken from the GameCube version, so you can see how it plays:

 

New, innovative - a true 3D puzzle game
What makes it different is that it is a totally new and original 3D game, allowing it to look cool and play great.  It has real pace which makes it exciting compared to other puzzle games - the game plays simple and slow for novices, and fast and frantic for more experienced players.  It offers a truly intensive gameplay experience that will stand the test of time long after interest wanes in less compelling games.  Over 6 years were spent designing it to perfection.

A puzzle game that plays like an arcade game
Traditionally, puzzle games have played slow compared to arcade games, because there is more emphasis on thinking through the strategy before executing each manoeuvre. ZooCube is designed to allow players to play as fast as they want to because the objective is simple and there is a lot of flexibility in how they play it – the result is a puzzle game that plays like an arcade game.

Simple, deep and rich gameplay
ZooCube is a true pickup and play game that requires some dexterity and coordination in 3D space. It starts out nice and simple with the objects coming in from 2 or 3 directions and then ramps up as the player progresses. Slowly as confidence starts to build, a player can rotate in all 6 directions, lock the pieces and learn how to juggle them, and discover the power ups and bombs that are crucial to your survival.
