Qiyb2

Qiyb2 is an abstract 2D score-attack auto-platformer. You control a cube that jumps automatically, landing on other cubes to activate their effects. Precision, skill use and understanding how different effects interact help you pursue a higher score.

Cubes and scoring

The game features over 60 different randomly generated cubes, alongside hand-drawn backgrounds and experimental soundtracks. The cubes form a probability hierarchy: rarity usually determines how powerful a cube's effect can be. Effects include gaining score, changing the next effects of many cubes through negation, temporarily increasing your score multiplier and triggering a rare, temporary domain shift.

Difficulty rises with your score, from Zero to Champion, and is shown on a meter in the lower-right corner of the HUD. Reaching certain scores can trigger additional random events, including an enemy or boss spawning or a fast wall of negative hit points cubes approaching.

Skills and unlockables

You begin with the height reset skill. Four additional skills and their corresponding skill paths can be purchased in the shop using currencies earned through play. Each skill has its own cooldown. Teleportation can take you through a negative hit points cube wall to avoid its effect, while time dilation temporarily slows time so you have longer to react.

There are over 80 unlockables in total, including skills, perks, skins, backgrounds and soundtracks.

Bosses and discovery

The game has over seven bosses with varying difficulty levels, each offering a corresponding reward when defeated. There is no tutorial; you experiment to discover new things and learn the game's rules.
