The following is a list of commands available within Cuboingo™:

 

Although Cuboingo™ is a simple game, there are quite a few commands available to enhance your gaming experience. These commands are accessible from drop-down menus and from key combinations (called "shortcuts" or "hot keys") as described below:

The following describes the Game, Help and Shortcut commands available.

To the Top!  Pull-down Menus

Cuboingo™ has two pull-down menus which are home to a host of commands. Setting your own game controls (Game > Configure), Pausing the game (Spacebar) and many more commands are available to you. Some commands are inaccessible (as indicated when they are "grayed out" such as the 'Pause/Resume' command in the graphic below) in certain parts of the game. Most pull-down menus have corresponding key combinations, or "shortcuts" (also called "hotkeys") and several commands can be activated by basic keyboard buttons - such as pressing the spacebar to pause/unpause the game.

The "Game" and "Help" pull-down menus (with related commands):
