Cubes King — Play Free Online

Endless Runners

Cubes King is a free endless runner that plays in your browser, with keyboard or touch controls and quick restarts. No download or account is needed.

Cubes King is a browser game filed under endless runners on Doodle Jump. There is nothing to install: the page loads the game in a frame and you start playing straight away. This page sticks to what the game's listing tells us, because we don't have reliable details about its modes or level structure.

The runner category is a good clue to the pace. You steer a character forward, react to what appears ahead and try to last longer than your previous attempt. Sessions are short, a failed attempt costs you seconds, and the only real goal is a better result next time. That is the same appeal that makes the site's headline game, Doodle Jump, easy to pick up for a few minutes between other things.

How to play

Move with the arrow keys or WASD. The mouse is used to aim and to select things such as menu options. On a phone or tablet, tap and swipe instead. If the controls seem unresponsive at first, click once inside the game frame so the browser sends your key presses to it rather than to the surrounding page.

A typical attempt begins from a menu: select start with the mouse or a tap, then control the character until you fail, and start again from the menu.

Tips

Spend the first attempt learning how the character responds to input, not chasing a score.
Make small, deliberate inputs. Holding a direction down for too long is the usual way to overshoot in this kind of game.
Look ahead of the character rather than at it, so you have time to react to what is coming.
On a touch screen, keep your thumbs clear of the part of the screen you need to watch.
