You are one small square with one job: don't get hit. Square the Avoider is a fast, reflex-driven arcade climber. Run, jump and dash up towers full of falling blocks, lasers, moving platforms, conveyor belts, crumbling ledges and launch pads. When the screen fills with danger, hold your nerve and keep climbing. A WHOLE NEW LOOK Every world has been redesigned. Platforms, ground and hazards now wear their world's colours over painted skies, the landing edge of every platform is lit so you always know where you can stand, and hazards are the hottest thing on screen. The HUD and menus were rebuilt to stay small, clear and out of your way. 125 LEVELS ACROSS 10 WORLDS From the Learning Tower to the Final Ascension, every world brings its own palette, its own hazards and its own music. Clear the campaign and 25 secret levels open up beyond it. TEN BOSS BATTLES, EACH ONE ITS OWN FIGHT Every tenth level ends in a showdown. Each boss makes an entrance with its own name card, has its own silhouette, multi-phase attack patterns, telegraphed tells and original soundtrack, and gets a finishing moment when it falls. ONE-THUMB CONTROLS Pick up and play in seconds. Responsive touch controls that feel right on any phone, with adjustable size and opacity, or full remapping if you play with a controller. EVERY CLEAR IS RANKED Finish a level and the result card shows your time, your deaths and your rank. Go back and chase a better one. CHECKPOINTS THAT RESPECT YOUR TIME Fall and you won't lose everything. Generous checkpoints keep you in the action. Watch a short ad to retry instantly, or restart from your last checkpoint. Your call, every time. MAKE YOUR SQUARE YOURS Over 100 cosmetics to unlock: 26 colour packs, trails, auras, frames, borders and death and victory effects. Six playable characters, each with its own handling. BUILD YOUR RUN 14 equippable powerups across one active and two passive slots, 4 unlockable skills and 19 permanent upgrades. Earn crates, chase 32 achievements, and fill a bestiary of every boss and hazard you have survived. WHEN THE CAMPAIGN ENDS, THE REAL CLIMB STARTS Endless mode for as high as you can get. Boss Rush to take on every boss back to back at four difficulty tiers. Challenge Towers with their own rules. New Game Plus if you want it harder. REBUILT SOUND Sound effects and music were rebuilt for this update, with a theme for every boss. BUILT FOR EVERY PHONE Smooth on low-end and high-end alike. Five graphics tiers, five colourblind modes, five accessibility presets, reduced motion, high contrast, adjustable text size, and a calm guided tutorial to start you off. Free to play. No accounts, no sign-up, no in-app purchases. Progress is saved on your device, and a connection is only used to show ads. Just dodge, climb, and beat your best. ## Is Square the Avoider safe?

An ad only plays when you tap to watch one. • Fixed: watching a rewarded ad to the end could fail to grant the reward. Rewards now land reliably, including when you close the ad from its end screen. • Fixed: the game kept playing underneath an ad, so you could lose a run you could not see. It now pauses for the whole ad. • Fixed: game music kept playing under ads. It now goes silent and returns after. • New: a message confirms exactly what you received after an ad, or explains why no reward was given. ### 1.0.5 — 2026-08-20 What's new in 1.0.5: - Ads now load right away and are ready when you want them - New: manage or withdraw your ad-consent choices any time in Settings > Privacy - The game follows how you hold your phone - both landscape directions supported - Bigger, easier-to-tap buttons across all menus and settings - Cleaner welcome screen on first launch - Small fixes and performance improvements ### 1.0.4 — 2026-08-17 No release notes. ## Apps similar to Square the Avoider | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Merge Plants - Monster Defense](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/merge-plants-monster-defense/id1529057280) | 4.4 (2,108) | Free | Games | | [Zombies vs. Towers](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/zombies-vs-towers/id1545660538) | 4.6 (13,570) | Free | Games | | [Mini Survival: Zombie Fight](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/mini-survival-zombie-fight/id6462363666) | 4.5 (1,354) | Free | Games | | [My Perfect Hotel](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/my-perfect-hotel/id1635760774) | 4.7 (705,513) | Free | Games | ## More apps by Erick Ibanez - [Square to Space](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/square-to-space/id6799255781) - [Bible Quizzer: Order the Story](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/bible-quizzer-order-the-story/id6809147783) All apps by Erick Ibanez: https://appshunter.io/developer/6799255783 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
