Jumping Cube: Cascade Strategy

Local 2-4 player chain-reaction strategy. Cascade explosions, claim the board.

Jumping Cube is a fast, tactile take on the classic chain-reaction board game popularized by KJumpingCube and other Jumping Cube implementations. Two to four players share a single device, taking turns to drop pips into cells. Pack a cell to capacity and it explodes — pips fly to neighboring cells, flipping them to your color and triggering chain reactions that can flip the whole board in a single move.

WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT
- Easy to learn, hard to master. The rules fit on a sticky note. The strategy will keep you up at night.
- Pure local multiplayer. Pass the phone. No accounts, no servers, no ads, no internet required.
- Smooth animations. Pips fly, cells cascade, explosions chain — every move is satisfying.
- Quick games or long ones. 3x3 boards finish in under a minute. 9x9 with four players is a war of attrition.

HOW TO PLAY
- Tap an empty cell or one of your own to add a pip.
- Cells explode when full: corners hold 2, edges hold 3, center cells hold 4.
- An exploding cell sends one pip to each neighbor and flips those cells to your color.
- A single explosion can trigger a cascade that wins or loses the game in an instant.
- Win by controlling every cell on the board.
