SquareMan

About

SquareMan is a 2D platformer where precise jumps and timing keep you from tumbling to your doom. Play as Henry SquareMan, who must navigate treacherous slopes, dodge spikes, and cross crumbling terrain to escape the Caverns of Squared. Each level demands careful movement and quick reflexes, with a punishing edge that rewards patience and practice. The path from the caverns to the mountain bridge includes distinct zones like GreenWoods and the Dead Hang Valley, each with their own hazards and visual quirks. What sets SquareMan apart is its relentless difficulty and minimalist art style. The game’s sharp, geometric visuals contrast with its chaotic challenges, creating a memorable aesthetic that matches its unforgiving gameplay. While it leans heavily into traditional platforming tropes, the Dark Blue Castle and Path of No Return segments introduce fresh obstacles that test both skill and stamina. With a runtime of around four to six hours, it’s a short but demanding experience for fans of no-frills platforming.
