After playing this game for a while I have one thing that bugs me a little -- the faces on each cube are arranged randomly.
I feel that if the faces had fixed positions like on a dice, then it would take a certain amount of mental skill to decide what way to rotate them in order to get the color you need in the quickest possible way.-Jibz
Pay a bit closer attention to the colors as you rotate the cubes. :D They are arranged like dice. In fact, we even have a stage that is themed with dice images.
The game also hints to the fact that the cubes are like dice. For example: red and blue are always on opposite sides from each other. You can see this because the red face has a blue background and vice versa. And the red and blue meters are next to each other on the side of the screen. So if you get red, but you wanted blue, just rotate it twice in any direction (but both times in the same direction) and you'll get blue.

If they were like dice, they would not always be facing me with an upwards image no matter which way I turn them.
If they were like dice, then doing (up, left, down) would rotate the front image clockwise.
If I am looking at two cubes with a red face, I may have to turn one of them left and the other down to find the yellow side. If they were like dice, and facing me with the same orientation on the front image, they would have to be turned the same way.
I don't know if it would be better or worse if they worked like real dice, just pointing out that they do not :-[.
