Been doing some testing and finding it easier to hit 2:38 and 2:39 every time. I may be able to find a 1 second time save somewhere in here. Gotta test a few more things.
New findings there should be a way to get 2:37. The issue is by doing the upgrade it opens many more upgrades separating the $5,000 money increase and then the $0 money increase you receive after, so the time save is negated by scrolling. If the scrolling can be perfected or a way to make more text boxes appear on a touch screen, would have to find a way to play with vertical dimensions on a tablet, which I think I may be able to find a way to do, then a 2:37 is likely to be achievable. Gonna start looking at window setups to optimize the upgrade display.
Bribery, blackmail, pyramid schemes, mistreatment of workers... and yet, up until the whole apocalypse thing, I still woulda voted for this guy over any of the democan/republicrat candidates who have run for president during my lifetime. Vote spinning cube party!
Ever wondered what it'd be like to give up the Cookie Clicking business and push a square in your living room for money? How about the feeling of a dance party as people push a square for you while you take over the world? Well, if the answer to either of those was yes, you've come to the right place!
Push The Square is a semi-idle game where you start off as a lonely square pusher and businessperson and slowly build up your money and prestige by going to work and investing your money in pushing a square. Why? We don't know either, but as you push the square more and more, people will become interested in you as a person and allow you to unlock things like a party, becoming the president, and a rug for your house (finally).
(A third paragraph is usually added here to talk about bugs/glitches/dislikes, but this was just an honest idle game that you can beat pretty quickly)
All in all, this game was a great example of an idle/clicker game not needing to be overly expansive in order to be fun or entertaining. With a run time of about 10 minutes (some people have beaten it under 5), you'll get a good laugh out of pushing a square :)
Bruh. This actually. This actually has the material and shit to be a full on steam/Xbox game. Or even a full fledge speed run material run. This is good. But I need more. But for real. This could be expanded to a 3D or bigger 2D with Prestiging
Decided to go through the comments and make a doc with every screenshotted/recorded run. Decided against the text because while most are truthful I think it takes away from the goal if false comments are allowed to slip in. Was super fun to look at and hopefully someone, myself or not, can continue to push the record. I doubt we will see a sub 2:30 but I still feel we could see at the very least a 2:37.
Def have explored here and there, still can't find anything viable to get there. Without a TAS (tool assisted speedrun) I do not think sub 2:38 will be found any time soon without brute forcing every possible option. The big thing holding the record back is scrolling the upgrades. Because only so many can be displayed at once no matter the device deminsions, scrolling is needed for certain upgrades. This scrolling holds back being able to do any possible combination without sacrificing time. I'm sure there is some way to get sub 2:38 but 2:38 isn't consistent even with the current route. I find I get more 2:39s with the WR route which means the 2:38 was most likely the best time with the current route.

That's a great find, hope the game doesn't break! x)

Your welcome.
I liked the option to skip the negative stuff in favor of a positive work environment. Only the best for my stick people!
The square finds this strategy acceptable!
я смог пройти за 6 минут круто) спасибо за успокаивающую игру

They told me, "Be there or be Square."
I made my choice.
Thank you so much for the video! I enjoyed every second of it :)
Glad you liked the game!

That's amazing!
Thanks for the hard work! :)
Very interesting seeing how low the record has gotten. Good luck with getting a sub 2:38 if you're still trying.

Much more fun than I initially expected.
