Our take on Square
Square departs from typical action games by removing dashing and horizontal movement altogether. Its challenge centers on judging obstacles and using one available action, while procedural generation replaces a fixed sequence of levels.
What is Square?
Square is a single-player action arcade game set in a procedurally generated world.
Gravity pulls the player downward while a constant stream of obstacles appears ahead. Jumping is the only movement option: the player cannot dash or move left or right. All level geometry can hurt the player, so survival depends on planning quickly and executing jumps faster. Players collect diamonds, try to travel as far as possible, and earn points across repeated attempts. The game becomes harder every second and includes achievements, immersive music, and level customization. Its structure combines fast-paced action with a challenge described as both relaxing and difficult.
