Squar3s
Read full descriptionHide full description
A fast-paced 2D roguelike inspired by the iconic DVD screensaver we all remember. You play as a single square trapped in a neon, pixel-art world where survival is the only goal. Dodge enemies, adapt to unpredictable patterns, and make it through 30 increasingly intense levels. Every run tests your reflexes, timing, and ability to stay calm when the screen turns against you. Minimalist mechanics meet retro visuals, glowing colors, and arcade-style tension. Easy to learn, hard to survive. Can you keep the square alive until the very end?
