- PlayStation Edition and some more! - 10 January 2021
Hello everyone! It's been a long time since release of The Light Sword Team games. Big Journey to Home has a decade of history, Spectrubes was created as an experiment, ported to Xbox One, and grew into big project Spectrubes Infinity with Steam Workshop support. I remember times of development and releases with great warmth, it was awesome! Thanks to everyone for bringing these games into the world and having you play them (though not as often as I'd like)! Thank you all those who helped with development and supported me! Thank you for your votes on Steam Greenlight when they were so important to release of games on Steam platform! As you know, Apple recently introduced their computers with own processor. I was greatly inspired by this and decided to port games to this wonderful platform. So, new updates are already coming out! Of course, apart from just porting I did some more innovat…
- Two-year game anniversary and Spectrubes Infinity announcement - 25 March 2018
Hello, dear Spectrubes fans! Today, the 25th of March, Spectrubes turns 2 years old! Thank you for your support! Thanks to you, the game was released on a variety of different platforms, including the XBox One. To celebrate, I have a new announcement to make. I have been away from game development for a while, but decided to return to Spectrubes. I am pleased to introduce you to a new, improved, extended and endless Spectrubes Infinity! This new game moves away from a classic ZX Spectrum look in favour of a modern 1080p Full HD visual style. It includes 50 new levels with new game mechanics, including cubes with even more complex movement patterns. Why is this game called "Infinity"? This is due to the introduction of Steam Workshop support, providing user-made content such as new levels and themes which can change any visual or auditory aspect of the game. If you already have Spectrube…

- Spectrubes 1.2 Update - 23 November 2017
Hello everyone, dear Spectrubes fans! The game has been for about two years. Thanks to everyone who bought it and played it for this period! It's been a long time since the last update, but now it's time for Spectrubes 1.2! This update contains a very specific thing - support of the Japanese language. For everyone else, there is a more interesting innovation that you asked for - level selection. The details are as follows: 1. Japanese localization Now the game is translated into one more language! All this is due to my own efforts, since I started learn this wonderful language. For Japanese localization a new font was used. Unfortunately, it’s slightly different from native font of ZX Spectrum computers, but I tried to find the best variation. Of course, there is no support for kanji in localization, since the letters are small, and in early computers kanji support was completely absent…

- Spectrubes 1 year anniversary! - 25 March 2017
Hello everyone! It's been exactly a year since the release of Spectrubes! The game has been sold via Steam and other stores for a year now. Thank you for your support and for playing the game. There have been no updates because the game seems to be stable. There has been no new content either. I'm looking at ways to implement some, but there's currently no clear plans for it. Because of this event, the game will be discounted at 66% for the upcoming two weeks. Buy now! Thanks again for your support! Yours, Silver Sword!

- Spectrubes 1.1 Update - 30 March 2016
Hello, dear Spectubes fans! First, I'd like to thank the people who bought the game and shown interest in it! Thank you! Now for the important news, the Spectrubes 1.1 update is out. It includes a few major and minor bugfixes, and an important new feature, the ability to undo multiple turns in a row. The details are as follows: 1. You can now undo up to 5 turns. A popular request was to add support for undoing multiple turns in a row, and this feature has now been added. If you died, and you see that you could have won if you just did your last few turns differently, you'll find this feature quite useful. The default amount of turns you can undo is 3, however, you can increase this up to 5, if you find the game difficult, change it back to how it was in version 1 (that is, just 1 turn), or completely disable the undo feature by setting it to 0 turns. Try it out! 2. Bug with undo on ice…
