Goblin's Cube is Rubik's Cube game that uses the wiimote's and nunchuk's accelerometers to control the cube.

Controls

The game's current version assumes that the wiimote will be held with the right hand and the nunchuk with the left hand.

Orientation

Cube

At any moment the cube has one face called the Front face, which is always visible on the screen. Using this face as reference, the game defines the other faces as: Top, Bottom, Left, Right and Back.

Hands

The wiimote's and the nunchuk's motion detection are used to move the hands around the cube. Each hand has only six possible positions available, depending on which axis (relative to the control) the gravity vector is pointing, as shown in the following table.

+X Top

-X Bottom
+Y Front
-Y Back

-X Top
+Y Front
-Y Back
Coordinate system used by Wii Remote

Movement

Whole Cube

Once you place a hand at a desired position you can hold the cube with Wiimote A Button or Nunchuck C Button and move the hand to another position, thus causing the cube to turn and change its Front position. You can also use the shortcuts at Wiimote D-Pad to turn the cube.

Rotating faces

Once you place a hand at the desired face, hold Wiimote B Button or Nunchuck Z Button to grab the piece, then rotate the control as you would rotate that face. For the Front, Back, Left and Right position the rotation mimics the real movement; as for the Top and Bottom the control must be twisted around the Y axis. The best way to understand these instructions is to just try it and see how controls work.
