About (square)

(square) is a game where your only offense is as deadly to you as your enemies. With a lone square as your only projectile, you must eliminate your enemies by launching it around the arena. The closer you are, the more force you apply when you launch it. To help with this, you can recall the square back to yourself. But be careful not to let it hit you!

Very fun mechanic. Looks like an action game, but is actually more of a puzzle game because the levels become harder by intentionally drowning you with things to pay attention to. The key to beating it is learning how the levels will play out and plan your moves ahead. So the game rewards strategy more than it rewards reflexes, especially in the Appendix levels.

I like this game. It has a very unique play style and the way it introduces new enemies and obstacles is quite well thought. I played on a controller and it was quite fun, Especially the hardest levels at the end... that EVIL circle felt so good to finally get! Took me 55 mins to beat but very enjoyable. Thank you!

underrated arcade super hard rage inducing game. The hit boxes are unforgiving and some later levels are ridiculously hard and need play testing and balancing but the mechanics are very fun to learn, master and play with

(square) is pretty much a short and simple game where you must destroy highlighted objects using your trust-worthy, but deadly square. Do make sure you have a punching bag... You can rage a bit. The only complaint I have is the limited setting configurations.

Sekiro cheap: what our price record shows, and what to avoid

Search Sekiro cheap and the results are keyshop listings, not a store discount. Our three-month price record explains the gap, and why so few live offers changes the advice.
