Free App Friday #1 - Curiosity: What's Inside the Cube?

Hi guys!

Mario here with FAF on the Minecraftia!

This week, it's an app that thousands have discovered: Curiosity - What's Inside the Cube? Now, the way I am going to describe the app is going to make it sound quite boring, but believe me: the things that sound boring are always addictive. You basically get a massive cube (and if it was to scale, it would probably fill New York) and your aim to break it down. However, it isn't as simple as tap the cube to shatter a layer: no, each layer has around 100 million TINY little 'cubelets', microscopic squares. You have to tap these, one by one, until the whole layer is shattered. Only then may you start working on the next layer. Don't worry, when you're online, any of cubelets tapped by others are recorded onto your phone, so it won't take you forever! There are approximately 64 BILLION cubelets on the whole cube, which adds up to:

64 billion divided by 100 million = 640 LAYERS!!!

So, 640 layers of 100 million tiny squares...this game is gonna take months to complete! However, there is apparently a life-changing prize hidden to the player that can break the last cubelet on the cube. I doubt it's anything special, I think it'll be a message saying 'Patience is a virtue' (you should get the joke if you know basic comedy). 

And each layer is also a unique colour or pattern. Here's the currently known colours:

Layer 1 - Black
Layer 2 - Green
Layer 3 - Orangey-Brown

I will post an update whenever a new layer is found, which won't be very often considering there are only about (approximately) 200,000 people that log on a day. Actually, more math...

100 million divided by 200,000 = an approx of 500 cubelets broken by an average player per day!

You can also buy items from a shop, using the coins you earn from breaking cubelets:

Firecracker - 5,000 coins - Place down firecrackers then touch them to set them off. See how long you can keep them going to achieve maximum destruction (4 Uses in 1 Buy).
Bomb - 115,000 coins - For a limited time each of your taps will set off a bomb, if you're fast enough to cause huge amounts of destruction (lasts 8 seconds).
Iron Chisel - 300,000 coins - Become more curious. Upgrade (for a limited time) by the power of 3, now each touch destroys 9 cubelets (lasts 5 hours).
Steel Chisel - 1,000,000 coins - The truly curious, require truly destructive power. Upgrade to super steel and take out a massive 25 cubelets per touch (lasts 7 hours).
Diamond Chisel - 3,000,000,000 coins - The ultimate in power, the ultimate in curiosity. Surely no one will be curious enough to gain the awesome power of Diamond (lasts 22 hours, 22 mins and 22 secs).


Only 500! Obviously, that's only an approx, some will break more, some will break less! I have broken (at the time of posting) around 600 cubelets so far! How many have you?
