1. Setup

The best position for the web camera is on top of your monitor. At the bottom left corner of the screen you can see a small display of the video the webcam sends to your computer. Using this display as your guide, you can adjust the position of the camera so that you can see yourself. You should see your hands at all times during gameplay, whether you've extended them fully to your side or they're on top of your head.

The lighting conditions and the color of your clothing can affect the controls of the game. Try to set the gaming environment so that you are clearly distinguished from the background.

Note! The game tries to automatically adjust the camera for optimal settings. However, if you are experiencing continual problems with the camera, please refer to the instructions that came with your camera. To change the camera settings, click the camera icon on the main screen.

A tip to parents: Make a "magic square" on the floor with marker tape. This way the players can easily see where they should stand for the game to run smoothly.

The microphone should be positioned so that it picks up as little external sounds as possible. Also, it should not be positioned near your speakers.

2. The flying game

It has not rained for ages in the desert and the yellow watering cans are very tired trying to bring water to the endless sea of sand. Help QuiQui to fly through the clouds and make rain to help the watering cans.

To make QuiQui fly, flap your hands like a bird flaps its wings. To fly to the right, bend your upper body to the right and flap your hands. You can achieve the best flight by making big, continuous movements. To make QuiQui float down, stay put for a while. The pesky, bothersome flying fish can be repelled by yelling in the microphone.

Flying straight upwards

Flying left and right

This works too, but inefficiently
