History

A passion project which gets at the heart of what makes a great feeling, smile inducing, 3-D platform game for all players.

Suzy Cube has been a labor of love for the game's creator, Louis-Nicolas Dozois, for the past 3 years. What started as a "master study" of the genre of platforming and specifically the 3D Mario games that inspired Louis, Suzy has transformed into a full game in its own right.

Louis set out to study the question of 'What makes a platformer great?' and along the way has shared his learning in an exceptionally detailed dev blog and through a series of articles called "Lessons from Suzy Cube". Louis has put a tremendous amount of thought into crafting the level designs, perfecting the controls, and refining the camera. Suzy Cube is the result of years of careful planning, studying and iterating and we're excited to share this game with the world!

A message from Noodlecake:

Suzy Cube is a prime example of the type of game Noodlecake loves to support. It is a passion project from a solo developer who has been creating his masterpiece for years, bringing in a huge community of fans eager to experience his vision.

Louis, the developer, was inspired by playing Mario 3D Land and decided he wanted to take a crack at creating a game that follows the same joy, mystery and platforming fun associated with a Mario game. It is a love letter to console gaming of old with a modern twist.

We plan to market this game to a full suite of press delegates from IGN to Polygon as having a Steam and potential console release, will allow for it go gain attention from major publications. As well we plan to cross promote the title to all of our Noodlecake games to reach an active user base of millions of players.

It is important for games like this to be supported by not only developers and publishers, but by storefronts as well as indie developers this talented do not come along that often and if their passions go unnoticed, they will not create more games like this.

A message from the developer:

Suzy Cube has been a labour of love and an incomparable learning experience. After years of work, I am thrilled to release the game so players can have as much fun playing it as I've had creating it. Thanks to everyone who have helped make this possible and to all of Suzy's exceedingly patient fans.

Merci, Thank you, Gracias,
— Louis
