Updates

What's changed on the cube, newest first. For how any of these systems work, read the full game guide.

Smarter healing, a bigger gallery & house rules July 15, 2026

Regeneration now waits for silence. The cube only heals once nobody has chipped for 15 minutes — no more strays appearing behind a solo miner mid-dig. Walk away, though, and it still takes its ground back.
19 new layer artworks — auroras, volcanoes, whales, a spiral galaxy, an arcade ghost, a cat, a sword, honeycomb and more. Every layer of every cube now draws from a pool of 32 paintings.
Chat rules and word filter. First-time chatters accept the wall's rules; hate speech is blocked server-side, profanity is masked, and dirty display names are refused. Violence is tolerated only against the cube.

Chat is live — every face of the cube (North, East, South, West, Crown, Below) has its own room, plus a GLOBAL channel for the whole internet. Named players only; rooms are wiped when a cube dies.
Set your display name from the shop, the RANKS panel, or the prompt that appears after your first fifty cubelets.
Credit where due: the game is a fan tribute inspired by Curiosity — What's Inside the Cube? (22cans / Peter Molyneux, 2012), now noted on the intro screen.

The game has a name, and the cube has an attitude. Rebranded from a plain recreation to a standing dare: bet you can't.
Regeneration. The cube heals ~1% of its damage per hour. Stop chipping and it un-happens. You'll get a report of what regrew while you were gone.
Escalating cubes. Every destroyed cube is reborn bigger if it died fast — up to a 512-wide monster. Fallen cubes get headstones on the intro screen.
Hall of Cores — whoever chips the final cubelet of a cube is engraved forever, next to what they found inside.
THE WAR panel — a live internet-vs-cube bar, a war log, and a shareable daily war report.
The intro title is now made of chippable cubelets. It heals. Try it.
Launched at destroy-the-cube.com.

Global leaderboard (RANKS) — top miners by lifetime cubelets destroyed.
Chisels became timed: steel 30 min, gold 45 min, diamond 60 min. Rebuying extends the clock. They were simply too strong forever.
HUD now shows both cubelets left on the current layer and in the whole cube.

Cube #1 grew to 61 layers and ~2.1 million cubelets.
Zoom slider in the face view, with a firmer boundary so you stop getting thrown out to the cube view by accident.
Custom artwork support: layer faces can carry images, revealed as you chip into the layer below.

One shared cube for everyone, in real 3D — spin it, dive onto a face, chip cubelets, buy bigger tools, descend layer by layer toward the core.
Coins, combo multiplier up to ×10, firecrackers and bombs, and the million-coin Diamond Chisel.
