FAQ
Good to know
AstraCubes can be played solo or against bots without entering a ranked online match.
Why can’t I enter an online match?
Online play requires an active Game Center sign-in and internet connection. Solo and bot matches remain available if Game Center is unavailable.
How do Nova special attacks work?
Clear at least two rows at once to earn a Nova power. Open the S mode, choose a power, and apply it to yourself or an opponent when the power allows it.
Does Premium make online play easier?
No. Premium unlocks all bot levels, public matchmaking, optional ranked play and invitations to free friends. Free access includes solo, one Easy bot and private unranked Premium invitations. Ships are separate cosmetic purchases. Purchases never improve gameplay performance, and the entire app is advertising-free.
Does AstraCubes show advertising?
No. AstraCubes has no advertising in solo, bot or online matches.
How do I change language?
Tap the globe in the upper-right corner of the main menu and choose a language.
How do I manage online data and purchases?
Apple manages Game Center and purchase records. Use Apple settings for Game Center and subscriptions, and Restore Purchases in AstraCubes for valid ownership. There is no developer game server or in-app rating database to delete. Contact support with leaderboard questions.
