About Hubie

Hubie is a platform puzzle game for one player. The player directs a round character with antennas and legs through a series of rooms, each containing block obstacles that must be manipulated to reach an exit.

Movement and object interaction are central mechanics. The character can climb, use its antennas for brief hovering flight, and break certain blocks by impact. Objects can be pushed using puffs of air, though pulling is only possible with magnets. Other interactive elements include springs for enhanced jumps, fans, balloons, and explosives.

The initial release contains 17 rooms. A registered version expands this to over 100 rooms and introduces new items, such as mirrors capable of reflecting light beams. The objective in every room remains consistent: navigate past the obstacles by any available means to proceed to the next.
