About the game
Dimension is a 3D puzzle game that places 60 colorful spheres on a three‑dimensional board. Each round reveals six task cards that dictate exactly how the balls should be stacked and positioned side by side. The rules are strict: specific colors cannot touch, and certain combinations must be present to earn points. The challenge is to solve each task quickly, as all players compete simultaneously, trying to place the most spheres on their trays. For every sphere used, you earn a point, and if you use all five colors, you receive a bonus token. However, failing to follow any card costs you two points. The sand‑timer adds pressure, requiring fast and precise decisions. The ultimate goal is to accumulate the highest score, proving who masters multidimensional thinking. Dimension blends logic, spatial perception, and friendly competition, making it perfect for those who enjoy visual challenges and quick reasoning in real time.
