Stick People Stick Together – CUBE WORLD gadgets
If you loved Tamagotchis (secretly or openly, either way will do), CUBE WORLD is definitely your next cute gadget. Radica Games (started by Americans in Hong Kong) introduces CUBE WORLD, a complex community of digital people, composed of 4.7 x 4.7cm cubes (2 in a pack) containing a pixellated stick figure who lives and plays inside the LCD screen.
Collect all 4 CUBES: Dodger (red) has a ball, Whip (yellow) has a rope, Slim (purple) has a stick, and Scoop (orange) has a dog. Connect up to 16 CUBES together to build an interactive world; then watch the stick figures interact with each other! They’ll visit each other’s CUBES, wave at each other, play with each other, torment each other, and protect each other—witness Dodger tossing a ball to Slim between CUBES, or Whip throwing up a rope to Scoop.
How they do it, dunno, but the CUBES hold 100 possible animations in CUBE WORLD, including group hugs and bungee jumping. Extra stuff on the cubes include motion sensors to shake up the stick figures, and buttons so you can play games with each stick figure.
