Market Friday
A post for Market Friday hosted by @dswigle, if you haven't followed her yet you should she is one of the kindest and most supportive people here on Hive, a comment from her is like a ray of sunshine on your page.
This is the one tag and challenge that I always make a point of joining, and also look through the posts of others that join the challenge and seeing markets from all around the world.
For this weeks post, I will share and talk about a new gadget/toy I just got
It arrived in the mail the other day
But what is it you may ask, well I will get to that I bought it off Amazon which is a market so I think this can count for a Market Friday post.
It is a Fairly new device called a WOWCUBE and I have bene following its development online for over a couple of years now, it had bene only available for preorder and shipping just recently started, but estimated shipping times were 4 to 6 Weeks and only for the Black edition which on the website costs $699, I was thinking of getting either the basic or cut the rope editions which were $399 or $549 Respectively.
But then I saw they had opened their store on Amazon and the black edition was $599, not cheap I know but I was frustrated with not getting out taking photos and decided what the heck lets get a toy to play with rather than saving a little more for a new lens and hit the order button.
I thought with the discount on Amazon the games installed and the card to buy new games it was an OK deal
I will explain what it is shortly, but first let me explain the difference between the editions,
the starter kit, includes the cube, 3 preinstalled games and a $30 card to buy games
The Cut the rope Edition, comes with 5 Games preinstalled, a travel case, an extra charging base and a $50 card for more games
and the black edition which I got comes with the cube a deluxe travel case, extra charging base, screen protectors, silicone and metal Protective Pads to protect the device if one drops it, 21 Preinstalled games and a $100 card for buying games
and here is the cube itself but your probably asking what is it, the company describes it as
The first-in-class innovative console and the gaming platform with immersive-reality user experience.
Its a One-of-a-kind device in the shape of a cube made of 8 connected cubicle modules that allow you to interact with the digital world like it is a real object, by tapping it, twisting it and turning it.
I think one could describe it as a Rubiks cube on steroids, it has 8 modules with three screens on each module which all connect to make the cube and I must say it is pretty cool and fun.
I was never that good at solving Rubik cubes, but this may make me practice and get better at it
you turn the tube to get the game you want to play highlighted and then double tap on it to open the game
This is the charging dock,, at first I thought it looks kind of flimsy but it seems to be solid enough
And here are a few of the games I have tried so far
First off not so much a game but just something to watch and relax a small aquarium with fish swimming around
You may have heard of the game cut the rope on mobile phones, well they have a version of it on the cube, its cool and tricky at the same time, my Granddaughter played with it a bit yesterday and loved this game
And this game is called 2048, you twist the side of the cube to try and match similar numbers, with the goal of trying to get up to 2048, as I said I am not that good with Rubik cube style games and only played with it for a couple of days and have only got up to 512 so far
This next game you need to twist and turn the cubes to match up the butterfly wings
As I said I have 21 games on it and haven't tried them all yet, but so far I am havign fun with it,
Do I recommend it, well base don the price it is expensive and probably not for everyone, but for me the Name WOWCUBE is apt as it is pretty WOW and fun to play with
it is still pretty new and as people get their hands on them there are some small issues coming up, but so far the couple of glitches I have had were easily fixed, and they do have a discord channel and respond quickly to help people solve any issues they may have, and most of the issues are fixed quickly with a reset
And that’s all folks

Looks fun and like it would be good and warming the brain up in the morning with some 3-D thinking. I am reminded of Contact where they are only able to break the code by making each of the sheets into cubes. You got a leg up:)
Yeah I do enjoy playing with it a bit first thing in the morning it sure does wake my brain up :)
That is very interesting! I have never seen anything like that before. It's pretty amazing what they can do with displays these days. They are getting smaller and more powerful with each passing month it seems like! This looks like it will give you plenty of hours of fun!
Ohh yeah such a unique concept and indeed I am having fun with it
That's great! It was totally worth the cost then!
I loved the Rubiks Cube and I have been pretty fast in solving it, but that was many years ago and I haven't seen one in quite a while.
This thing looks interesting and I will have a look at it on Amazon, but I don't think I would buy it for this price... looks very interesting though. Maybe it's something for bad weather 😀

Indeed it is expensive if I was out taking photos at the moment I probably would not have got it and hopefully I will be out again taking photo walks
But now that I do have it I am glad I did it's awesome
I wish you much fun with that thing and who knows if I don't change my mind if one day the weatherman predicts 3 weeks of rain 😉

Thanks I am havign fun with it
I think finally my energy levels are buildign up, had the grandkids yesterday and did some yard work and dont feel totally wiped out, so hopefully my camera will get out with me soon

That's the way it should be - I have had a look at it and it really looks interesting.
Hope you're feeling better soon because your camera needs to take some photos before it forgets how to do it 😉
Have a great Sunday JJ 🌞

Wow.....
Hello dear friend @tattoodjay good day
Thank you very much for showing us the existence of this device, it looks very interesting, especially since you can meet and play in the company of your granddaughter
that you enjoy it a lot
👍🙂👍
That looks totally cool. Gonna have to research it now. Thanks
It is so innovative I love it as do my grandkids and others who have seen it
This is something new to me! But I think this can do you the world of good at the moment! Enjoy it!
Ohh yeah you have that right, we do need more of this inthe world
👍
WowCube! As I read your post I didn't know what to expect in your participation in the Friday market initiative. I almost hallucinated at the sight of the 21st-century Rubik's cube, despite it being a 2x2x2.
Three weeks ago, my son came home with a traditional Rubik's cube, which has been a source of relaxation and fun ever since. There is no such thing as coincidence, I saw a review of your device in a news summary on my cell phone.
Well, you're right: it is a bit expensive, but if I had a more comfortable financial situation at the moment, I would have bought it too.
So enjoy it, in the meantime, I'll do it the old-fashioned way, and I assure you, I'm not having a bad time at all. The Rubik's cube remains in my work area awaiting my moments of frustration.
Greetings.
I wish I had played with a regular Rubiks cube more it would help me to play the game on this one lOL
