This game is actually a pretty good puzzle game i bought this game just to give it a whirl and i thought the gameplay is fun because it kind of messes with your brain and you have to figure out where the cube needs to go. i would recommend this to my friends if they wanted to try something new!

I usually get grumpy about mobile games getting ported to Steam, but I also have a soft spot for optical illusions and games based on them. Hocus has a simple premise and is easy to start playing. Player input consists only of choosing which direction to move the red cube in an effort to guide it to the exit (or is it the entrance?). Once a direction is chosen, the cube moves until it reaches a junction, where it waits for your next instruction. There is no camera movement, because the fixed perspective is essential to the puzzle.
