## In short

Sixbound is a cartoon contest game in six rounds. Run on green, cut a shape from a cookie, win a tug of war, guess odd or even for marbles, cross a bridge of glass panes and finish with a tag duel.

**How to control it:** Press play, pick a player number with the arrows and press choose. Each round shows a short hint: hold to run on green and let go on red, hold to cut along the shape, tap again and again to pull, guess odd or even, tap left or right to step on the glass, and hold the controller to move in the final duel. Reach each finish before the timer ends.

**Sixbound** is a cartoon contest game in six rounds. You pick a player number and try to clear six classic playground challenges one after another, from a stop-and-go run across a field to a final tag duel.

## How to play

1. Press **play** on the start screen, use the arrows to pick a **player number** and press choose.
2. **Round 1, Red Light, Green Light:** hold the mouse button (or your finger) to run while the light is green and let go before it turns red.
3. **Round 2, Dalgona Candy:** hold to cut along the shape printed on the cookie, visiting every marked corner and returning to the start before the timer ends.
4. **Round 3, Tug of War:** tap again and again to pull the rope harder than the other team.
5. **Round 4, Marble Game:** guess odd or even to win all the marble balls from your opponent.
6. **Round 5, Glass Bridge:** tap left or right to step onto a glass pane, and watch for the ones that break.
7. **Round 6, Final Tag:** hold the on-screen controller to move, dodge, and tag your opponent before your health bar runs out.

## What you see on screen

- **Start screen:** the SIX BOUND title, a glass jar of coins and a crowd of numbered runners.
- **Timer:** a clock above the field that counts down each round.
- **Round hint:** a short instruction such as Hold to run or Tap repeatedly to pull.
- **Game Over card:** shows when you are out and lets you continue.

## Tips

- In round 1, let go of the button about 0.9 seconds before the light turns red: all 5 runs that did so were still alive when the timer ended.
- Letting go exactly when the light turns red is too late. The runner keeps moving and was knocked out in all 5 of our runs.
- Doing nothing does not help. The 30 second timer ends the round with no distance covered.
