‘CUBE CONTROL’ DEVELOPER SCOURS WEB TO FIND COMPOSER FROM CHILDHOOD FAVOURITE

Toby Eichhorst - the developer of upcoming puzzle title Cube Control - was determined to find the composer from Unity’s little-known first title, GooBall…and he did just that

[10th June 2023]: In March 2005, a little-known outfit called Over The Edge Entertainment released GooBall to Mac OS X. This small, commercial unsuccessful title was the first preview of the Unity engine. Most people have never heard of it. But, for Toby Eichhorst - developer of ‘Cube Control’ and founder of GooStudios (yes, the namesake is what you think), it fired a love of games, and all things game development. 18 years later, Toby decided to pay homage to his much-loved childhood title: he was going to find GooBall’s composer and hire him for Cube Control.
 

There were a couple of problems, though: firstly, there were 3 composers, and secondly the game was decades old.

Cube Control features:

 
  • 60 unique, brain-tingling worlds to traverse as The Cube!

  • A beautiful, pastel colour palette. 

  • A gentle - though challenging - puzzling experience. 

  • Of course, an incredible soundtrack inspired by that of GooBall!


After weeks of searching, Toby ultimately booted the game up again to check out the credits. There, he hit gold. Three composers were listed - and, after reaching out to each of them, Toby finally received a reply from Bjørn Palmqvist.

 

“Getting contacted by Toby was a massive surprise,” Bjørn said. “When he mentioned GooBall - let alone as his favourite childhood game - I couldn’t believe it. I’d forgotten about it! Still, it was great fun to work on Cube Control. Knowing that a new generation of game design had been inspired by a twenty-year-old title was inspiring!”

 

Cube Control will be releasing June 16th featuring Bjørn and Toby’s GooBall-inspired soundtrack, and is available to wishlist on Steam now!
