Latest Cube World
Four colorful cubes house an individual stick person living inside their interactive world. There’s Dodger and a ball, Scoop with a dog, Slim with a stick or Whip with a rope. Each character can be connected to form block parties.
Once connected, whether the cubes are stacked on top of each other or side-by-side, the stick figures begin interacting with each other. They’ll climb into each other’s cubes, play baseball or fetch with a dog. But beware –- not all the "people" are friendly. One may push the other out of their cube!
If you thought Tamagotchi were ludicrously compelling, wait until you feast your eyes upon the crazy characters that inhabit Cube World. And no, that’s not a new superstore that sells boxes; it’s an interactive place where ... read morepixellated stick people live, play and pester each other. Confused? You should be, because unless you’re reading this from a black and white cartoon parallel dimension we guarantee you’ve never seen anything quite like Cube World.
Basically each Cube World contains a little pixellated stick man who lives and plays inside. There are four characters to collect and each one has a different hobby: Slim plays with a stick, Dodger enjoys kicking his ball, Scoop interacts with his dog, and Whip is a dab hand at rope tricks.
Buttons on the front of each Cube allow you to play games with your virtual stick man - everything from kick ups and pull ups to snake charming and juggling depending on the character, but he will also entertain himself depending on his mood. And that’s something you can influence, because each cube features motion sensors that allow you to tumble your stick man around so that he falls around the screen. On a particularly rough day he might even bang his head against the wall, talk to Ralph on the great white telephone or shake his fist at you!
But here’s the really clever bit: when Cube Worlds are connected the stick men will interact with each other and leap into neighbouring screens, completely unaided. You can arrange your cubes in any configuration as long as the cubes are touching squarely. Once linked you never know what the characters will do. Put Slim and Dodger together and they could play baseball; Scoop and Slim might play fetch with the dog and stick. Your stick men might even perform an impromptu synchronised dance routine, play leapfrog, have a group hug, a tug of war, or indulge in a full on punch up! (We don’t have to tell you which one we prefer).
Cube Worlds are brilliantly entertaining take-anywhere companions, and because you can connect up to 16 cubes the possibilities are endless. One of our stick men even bungee jumped from the top of a cube tower we created! It’s this random behaviour that makes them so incredibly compelling. Let the Cube World craze commence!
