Cubes 2

Cubes 2 is Hacksaw Gaming's sequel, designed for players who enjoyed the original but craved higher risk and reward. The core mechanic remains the same: cluster pays on a 5×5 grid expanding to 11×11 as matches form. However, Cubes 2 elevates volatility significantly, reduces base-game hit frequency to 15.68%, and raises the max-win ceiling to 10,500×.

Visually, the aesthetic is similar to the original—minimalist, colourful, and satisfying—but the design incorporates additional colour variations and elemental themes, providing visual novelty. The core gameplay loop is unchanged: match clusters of five or more, expand the grid, trigger cascades, and pursue free spins for the biggest payouts.

The volatility escalation is the defining difference. Longer dry spells are expected, and smaller cascading wins give way to less-frequent but substantially larger payouts. The reduced 15.68% hit frequency underscores this: almost 6 in 7 spins produce no win, creating a feast-or-famine dynamic. Players must be comfortable with extended losing streaks to thrive here. The 96.30% RTP remains solid, but the gap between base-game and free-spins payouts is much starker than in the original.
