It's an alright puzzle game. The only problem is that it's pretty short, I think it took me about 5 hours in total.

It has no story though, apparently they deleted that when they were pressing for a quick release before running out of money. You just wake up in those chambers and escape that facility in the end.
The levels consist of white blocks mostly. The puzzles are made from blocks with different colors that have different abilities. For example, a blue block acts as a spring that catapults you up, a red block can be extended to be a bridge for you etc. You use your left and right mouse buttons to activate/deactivate these colored blocks to reach the exit of the level.
I had no problem with the lack of a story, it was nice to make sense of everything for yourself. But like I said the length of about 5 hours was a definitely disappointing for the original price of 14 Euros.
Also, so far there doesn't seem to be a possibility to create custom levels so the replay value is pretty much 0 currently.

The only thing it has remotely in common with Portal is the similar visual style. There is zero story to speak of.
True, there is no story whats however but the puzzles that are a build of simple elements but they will get you thinking!
EDIT: I just played through the demo and it was great! I hope to be able to buy the full game soon.

Right, it's a great puzzle game. I just think comparing it to Portal is unfair to Qube and to Portal.
I get annoyed by this too, but it's kind of like how all FPSes in the early nineties were compared to Doom. It will probably stop in a few years.

They do invite it a little with those blue and orange flashes when you click the left and right triggers respectively....
EDIT: And... finished. Total play time - 2.8 hours. Not a bad game - I enjoyed some of the puzzles towards the end - but I'm very glad I didn't pay the full 12 quid asking price for it.
