Squared Adventure Hi! I created this game a few years ago, and although it looks like a  poor asset flip made by a high school student, it turned out to be pretty good in the end. If you give it a try, please share your thoughts in the comments :). You can also play the game on Steam. Main features: Charming single player gameplay with no need to rushA small yet beautiful world to exploreLogic…

  • gameplay

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is a simple yet enjoyable 2D platformer with fun mechanics and increasing difficulty across levels. It stands out from basic asset flips by offering engaging elements like easter eggs and humorous touches, though some feel it could benefit from additional levels after introducing all mechanics. Overall, it delivers a solid and entertaining experience.

    • “Simple platformer that has a good mechanic and gameplay.”
    • “I started this and beat it in around half an hour, but this game has so much potential and fun mechanics, with each section being more complicated and harder. I enjoyed the easter eggs and the fun little tidbits of jokes and notes around, not to mention the ending credits.”
    • “I feel like there could have been a few more levels after all the mechanics are introduced.”
    • “This one, like I said, seems legit (hundreds of 2D retro platformers on Steam are just basic asset flips etc), so there's some gameplay rather than the shallow minimum viable product stuff you normally get.”
    • “Gameplay: 7”

  • graphics

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics receive mixed feedback, with some criticizing the pixel art as lazy or unprofessional compared to modern 3D visuals, while others appreciate the simple, charming pixelated style and acknowledge the effort put into it. Overall, the art style is seen as functional and fitting, though opinions on its quality vary.

    • “Onto another note the graphics and music are so amazing, with fun music, a fun but simple pixelated art style that the gamer creators put a time and effort into.”
    • “This is a great little game with fun mechanics and a simple, but great artstyle.”
    • “Graphics: 8”
    • “This features really godawful, lazy pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics.”
    • “It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter.”
    • “The developer chooses to attack the review by failing to acknowledge the real reason they used crap pixel "art" instead of doing their job properly and arranging contemporary visuals.”

  • story

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game currently lacks a story, which diminishes motivation to continue playing; however, users are hopeful that the developer might create a compelling comedic 2D platformer story in future projects.

    • “No story.”
    • “Also no motivation to keep playing as there's no story and purpose.”

  • humor

    • “Minimalist textures, simple but funny gameplay - that was my aim all the time.”
