Q*Bert's Qubes , the sequel to Q*Bert , is an action-adventure game released in 1984 for the Colecovision. The gameplay is similar to its predecessor, but now features three-dimensional blocks that require you to change their colors to a target color, while also avoiding creatures that chase you around the playfield.
As you control Q*Bert on the playfield of blocks, your goal is to form straight lines of the target color. Each creature you encounter is a different color, and if it lands on a block where the top face matches its color, it falls off the playfield. However, if Q*Bert gets caught by a creature, he loses a life. The game becomes increasingly challenging as more creatures appear and additional colors are added to the playfield.
