Once you get used to the controls this is an excellent puzzle game. Rotation of each side is accomplished by a combination of right and left mouse button with the mouse wheel.
It took me several minutes to figure out that the mouse wheel is an important feature of the turning mechanism. Initially I found that each plane of the Rubik cube (proper spelling I think, from memory though) would only rotate in one plane. It was only when I used the mouse wheel in conjunction with the left and right mouse buttons that I got all sides to rotate left and right to top and bottom (does that make sense lol) are better in all dimensions x, y and z.
Don't give up on the game; once you've mastered the moves it's an excellent and just as frustrating puzzle as it ever was (my spatial awareness isn’t very good so I always had difficulty with the Rubik cube, lol.
You get four versions with this game which will add a lot more fun than the original. Try the four by four square, it's awesome. The original Rubik cube was 3x3 and the Rubik 4x4 revenge cube was released later once the original became a big success.
