3Buttons

About

3Buttons is a minimalist platformer that strips controls down to three simple inputs. Pick a shape, sphere, capsule, or cube, and navigate tricky levels by jumping, dashing, and activating switches. The challenge lies in mastering each form’s movement quirks to clear obstacles and reach the end. Speedrunners can try to top global leaderboards after completing the game on the hardest difficulty. It’s a quick but clever test of reflexes and precision. The game’s tight level design and punishing difficulty have earned it a cult following since its 2018 release. While brief, the experience packs a surprising amount of replay value thanks to procedural elements and hidden paths. Developed by John Segerstedt, it runs on PC, Mac, and Linux with no bloat, just 30 minutes of pure, button-mashing chaos. If you’re after a no-frills challenge, this one’s worth a shot.
