Turning a complex VR concept into reality, Ropstam Game Studio delivered a game where cubes snap, disconnect, and interact freely. With physics-based systems, group algorithms, and optimized VR, the result is playful, smooth, and engaging.
The client was passionate about immersive VR experiences, wanting to create an experimental VR game mechanic centered around freeform cube manipulation, where players could snap, detach, and rearrange cubes with ease.
Challenges
The goal was to have magnet-like cubes that could connect and disconnect freely. We had to:
Handle smooth cube-to-cube interactions.
Simulate a “magnetic” feel for attaching and detaching.
Manage interactions of cube groups as they formed new shapes.
Ensure groups can connect, separate, and update consistently.
Deliver seamless performance without glitches across all interactions.
Our Approach
Ropstam Game Studio brought expertise in VR, physics systems, and custom algorithms to design the solution.

Creating Seamless Cube Dynamics
By blending physics with smart algorithms, we delivered smooth and intuitive mechanics. The magnetic snapping, group behavior, and freeform manipulation gave players full creative control with optimized performance.
Results
The final build successfully showcased a unique VR interaction system that combined technical depth with playful simplicity.
Key outcomes included:
100% stable magnetic cube interactions
95% efficient group management with tagging system
Smooth attaching/detaching across all cube groups
Optimized VR performance with 30% faster frame updates
