In Edge, players take control of a cube and navigate through a series of increasingly complex 3D environments. Developed by Mobigame, this award-winning title features a unique 'edge-hanging' mechanic that allows the cube to balance on corners to bypass obstacles. With its minimalist visual style, 12-bit inspired music, and challenging level design, Edge is a timeless classic of the mobile era.

Our Expert Score
Edge is a masterpiece of minimalist game design. I've spent hours navigating its neon-lit, cuboid world, and the sense of satisfaction from a perfectly timed roll never gets old. The game thrives on its simplicity: you are a cube, and you must move. But the way the environment shifts, drops, and transforms around you creates a platforming experience that feels constantly fresh and inventive.
The aesthetic is '80s-inspired retro-futurism at its best. The synchronization between the movement and the electronic soundtrack creates a rhythmic flow that almost feels like a dance. It’s a difficult game, especially when chasing 'S' ranks, but the controls are so precise that every failure feels like a learning moment rather than a frustration. For anyone who appreciates high-polish indie games, Edge is an essential download that demonstrates how a simple concept can reach near perfection.

Tips & Walkthrough
You can hang off the side of a block by holding the direction against the edge. This slows down time slightly and allows you to wait for moving platforms to align.
Gameplays
To get the highest rank, you must collect all prisms and finish the level in the shortest time possible. Use 'Turbo' mode to speed up your movement once you've memorized the layout.

App Store Editors’ Notes

This introduced me to video games
Fri Nov 12 2021 Keribear19Hello, and I would like to say thank you for making this wonderful game because it introduced me to video games over 13 years ago (2008) and I have so many childhood memories of this game and the levels are so fun, and the music is probably one of the best game soundtracks because it’s so unique. I wish this game was better known because this game, even after 13 years of playing, is still fun. Ever since the sequel came out I always wanted a third edge game but it never came, so maybe if this gets suddenly popular y’all could make a new sequel? Just a suggestion.
One of the first iOS games I ever played
Mon Apr 23 2018 simXJust wanted to leave a note that this was one of the first iOS games I ever played, when it was released in 2008. And it’s still available, and updated for modern devices. That is unusual; I can’t think of any other iOS app (game or otherwise) that can say this. I still love this game. It is just as fun and unique as it was back in 2008. Here’s to another 10 years on the App Store!
An amazing puzzle game from 2008!
Thu Mar 27 2025 Dudley10293This game is a blast from the past! The puzzles are great, the soundtrack is good, the graphics are incredible for 2008, and the controls are decent! I love playing this game as it has a lot of care, passion, and love put in to it and is definitely a solid experience. I recommend giving this game a try. Thank you for this amazing experience, Mobigame!
Classic game, well maintained
Sun Apr 10 2016 GradenkoEdge is one of the first games I ever bought from the App Store, and I'm pleased to see that it has never been abandoned by the developer. A really innovative idea well suited to, what was, a new touch based interface that has now stood the test of time. For people complaining about the controls: study a little about momentum...
Still Love This Game!
Wed Mar 16 2022 Jabber961I’ve been playing Edge and Edge Extended for years and they never get old. I really love to open them up now and then, especially with ear buds. Still a very well thought out , fun and interesting game after playing many, many times.
Nearly 10 years of updates!
Wed Dec 06 2017 SkydiverTiltThis developer deserves an award! I got this game when the App Store first released and played it on my 2G...and here we are nearly a decade later and an update comes through in my iPhone X! Just amazing!!! Still just as fun to play!
Why isn’t this popular
Fri Jan 31 2025 StaringLoveBeen playing this one for yrs and the graphics are top notch. The controls are delayed though.
Fun game, challenging
Tue Jul 05 2016 RAB TwinThe controls are the thing that needs the most improvement. The swiping is atrocious. The button control is better but they are too close together. We all have these big screens so spread the controls out a bit. Otherwise a really neat concept. Fun.
