Qube Up is a free arcade game you can play right here in your browser. The core of it is parkour & running. Everything runs client-side, so it starts fast even on a modest connection.
About Qube Up
The Qube up game is an endless runner game. Here you dodge the spikes by moving the yellow cube and try to collect stars. Use arrow keys in computer and touch left or right half of the game to move the cube.
How to play Qube Up
The opening minute doubles as the tutorial. On desktop the arrow keys / WASD do the moving; the full mapping is in the table below. Portrait layout: hold the phone the way you normally do, or play it centred in the page on desktop. If a round goes badly, restart — attempts are cheap and it is usually the fastest way to improve.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Arrow keys / WASD | Run and change lane |
| Spacebar | Jump |
| Shift | Slide |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
