This had caused the game to be briefly released as Edge by Mobigame and Edgy, before ultimately returning to the App Store under its original name in January 2010.
The game was released on multiple platforms including mobile phones, PlayStation Portable, Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Android, Wii U, and Nintendo 3DS.
An expansion titled Edge Extended was released with new levels, new music, a new 3D engine, and a new computer-controlled dark cube opponent.
[1] The player can reduce their level completion time by making the cube hang on the edges and ledges of the maze for extended periods.
Smartphone versions offer two control schemes: swiping fingers across the screen (the default) or pressing on-screen buttons.
It also introduces an AI-controlled antagonist named "Darkcube" that moves on its own and can disrupt the player by blocking paths and pressing switches.
[6] Shortly after the game returned to the Apple App Store, Mobigame upgraded Edge's graphics for compatibility with Retina Display resolution and the iPad's larger screen.
In addition, Two Tribes created the 17 bonus levels, new achievements, new leaderboards, and screen resolution modification options.
[47] Ryan Hewson of Gamezebo praised the game's visual representation for not having "distracting textures" or "throbbing animated backgrounds".
[48] GameSpot writer Chris Watters singled out the game's minimalist graphics for creating a unique atmosphere that belied its concept of blocks floating in space.
[49] Slide to Play praised its chiptune soundtrack as perfectly fitting the game's minimalist aesthetics.
[1] Pocket Gamer writer Spanner Spencer gave considerable mention to the music stating that "it oozes class and positively pulsates with style".
[1] Chris Watters made note that the game had a vague clumsiness to it no matter the chosen control scheme due to the cube's rolling momentum.
[49] Zachary Miller, in particular, criticized the game's ability to hold onto moving blocks by balancing the cube's edge against it and also found the minimap unhelpful at times.
[50] The Edge Extended expansion's iOS release received "universal acclaim", according to video game aggregator Metacritic.
[5] Harry Slater of Pocket Gamer gave the expansion the same Gold Award rating as the previous title.
