Welcome to Your Cubelet

How it "Thinks" and "Feels"

At its heart, your Cubelet has a digital personality that experiences a range of emotions. This isn't random; it's based on how you interact with it.

• Trust: Grows when you interact gently and consistently.
• Loneliness: Builds up when you leave it alone or don't interact for long periods of time while powered on.
• Energy: Goes down over time and is refilled with playful pokes (Right Button).
• Affection: Needs to be maintained with gentle pats (Left Button).

Every 15 seconds, your Cubelet checks these feelings to decide on its mood. Its face and LED color will change to show you how it feels.

• Happy - Yellow
• Playful - Pink
• Curious - Cyan
• Affectionate - Light Red

Things Your Cubelet Does on Its Own

To feel more alive, it will occasionally blink, sigh, subtly shift its face on the screen, and even show you a message about its feelings without you doing anything. If it's feeling playful or bored, it might even ask you to play a game.

Power and Sleep

• Battery Meter: The four dots in the bottom-right corner show the battery level. (Cubelet is still being developed. Glitches in the battery meter are a known issue.)

• Sleep Mode: To save battery, your Cubelet will take a nap if you leave it alone. The screen will show a gently pulsing circle. While sleeping, it might even show you what it is dreaming about. Press any button to wake it up.
• Saving: Its personality and all your settings are saved automatically, even if the battery runs out.
