[Scrambler]

by Jammers in Pajamas

---

You are a space captain who has located the [Scrambler], an ancient cube that can manipulate time and space. Use it to aid allied units in collecting cores, pressing switches, activating anti-gravity pads, and avoiding corrupted entities.

[Scrambler] is a puzzle game that can be played with a 3x3 cube as alternative controller. The cube's gyroscope controls the camera rotation and twisting the cube's sides manipulates slices of space in the game.

Players without a compatible cube can a the mouse, keyboard, gamepad, or touchscreen (for mobile).

Best played in fullscreen mode.

[Connecting a Cube]

NOTE: The game uses Web Bluetooth to connect the cube and it is experimental at the moment. We're exploring other ways to make it easier to play with a cube.

1. Download scrambler-html-cube.zip.
2. Unzip the file.
3. Use a web server to host the game. One way is to cd inside the scrambler-html directory, run python3 -m http.server, then go to http://localhost:8000.
4. Follow the instructions inside the game.
5. Enjoy!
