Jumping Cube: A Dice-Driven Two-Player Strategy Game
Jumping Cube is a free strategy game developed by AlgoTech for the Android platform. The game is played between two players, where the goal is to win all the cubes on the board. Unlike other dice-driven games, Jumping Cube has no element of chance, and all the information to make a move is available to both players.
In the game, players take turns to make their move and capture cubes. Cubes can either be neutral or owned by one of the two players. With a single move, a large number of cubes can change ownership. The game starts with each cube in a neutral state having a single pip. Players can click on their own cube or a neutral cube, which adds a pip to the cube and changes its color to the player's color to indicate ownership. If after a move, the pip count goes beyond the cube's neighbors (horizontally and vertically adjacent cubes), then pips are distributed to the neighbors, and those neighbors are also captured by the player. This rule cascades, so all captured neighbors also need to distribute pips if their pip count goes beyond their neighbors.
The game offers an option to choose from multiple board sizes and play against the computer or another player on the same device. Jumping Cube provides an engaging and challenging experience for players who enjoy strategy games.
