Tutorial

From time to time, new features and gameplay options may be added.

Main Menu

Choosing a Name: The first time you load into the game, you will have a space to enter your name. On mobile a box will pop up and allow you to type your name. Once you choose it and click the Save button in game you will have a name recorded. If you use a new device, it will be considered as a new player. Although not currently displayed anywhere, it may end up being used in a Top 10 Individual leaderboard. Please be thoughtful and considerate of others. Choosing an inappropriate name will result in banning you from access.

Choosing a YouCuber: You can select from a list of YouCubers that are currently available for selection. If you favourite one isn’t on the list, ask them to submit a “YouCuber Request” on the website and their time may come! In the mean time, choose your next favourite, or play for “swiftcubing” which is the default selection. You can use the scroll bar on the right to help navigate through the options.

Gameplay

When the game first loads. Click the “Play Button” to get started.

The gameplay is simple. Control the bird with space bar or a click or a touch. When you touch the button the bird flaps and increases in height. Don’t let the bird hit any obstacles. As the bird fly’s through sets of pipes, it will complete a stage of a CFOP solve (which will be indicated by the indicator text on the screen).

When flying though the last set of gates for a solve, the bird will then drop the cube automatically. There is a grey collection pipe that the cube needs to fall into for it to be counted by the WBCA (see the story to learn who the WCBA are) as a solved cube. If you fly too high, the dropped cube will miss the pipe and not count! If you fly too low, you will hit the pipe and it’s Game over! Be careful!

Once you have completed a cube, you will need to collect another one from one of the WBCA manufactured clouds saling across the screen. To collect a cube from a cloud, fly into it! You will see the CFOPPY bird pick up the cube ready to solve. Be careful, the other clouds will become obstables when you are holding a cube already. Steer clear of them to continue on.

As your score increases, the speed and difficulty will increase. Those pesky clouds will get in the way sometimes. Good luck!

When you finally collide with the ground or a pipe or a cloud cube, it’s game over, and the number of cubes you scored will then be added to your selected YouCubers score. Click Play to play again!
