Q’Bert

By Jeff Manson

Q’Bert is an old Atari game that I have recreated in a truly 3d world.

The game idea is simple. You are the yellow head. You must jump on every cube in the triangular stairs and turn there color to blue.

What out for Snakes they will kill you if they touch you. Also don’t fall of the sides or in any holes.

Jumping on the warp boxes marked with a number will warp you to the corresponding numbered box and will help you advoid the snakes.

Good Luck.
