HELPFUL HINTS -- Beginners should try Brain Wreck first to get the hang of the controls and how the cube works. -- When playing Cubed or Brain Wreck, remember to look at the small cube in the side bar to see what's on the other side of the cube. -- Remember to use the Spacebar to see what pad you're on, if you are stuck [you may be on an arrow pad in which you can only flip in the direction the arrow is pointing]. -- While playing a 'Moves' level in Cubed, Move slowly so you don't flip too much, losing a move. -- While playing a 'Timed' level in Cubed, remember that the timer starts to count down after your first flip [you can plan your strategy before you move]. -- If you're stuck on a level, you can always Restart the level [by pressing R]. -- If Cubed doesn't load, try putting the 'cncs232.dll' file into your Windows System directory. |
