There's a bug where it doesn't properly reset in the jam version. You can either play the post-jam version or refresh your screen if you want to keep playing!

Thank you!

Love the artwork and post-processing. Thanks for making this.

Thank you so much for taking the time to teach me.

Could I trouble you to take a look at the new settings menu over at https://sqrz.app and tell me what you think?

With everything enabled...

Yes sorry about that bug. Noticed it shortly after submissions closed. It's fixed over on https://sqrz.app along with many other improvements.

Thanks for the kind words!

Crazy impressive that you made this in such a short time frame. The sound, textures, models, lighting, physics and level design all come together nicely and it's just super polished. Really great job.

Are you Android or iOS? I could make you a native build- or do a progressive web app so you could install it in your home screen.

(Thank you!)

I worried a lot about accessibility- as color is so important (but didn't solve the problem). Happy to add a colorblind mode. What would be better do you think in terms of color distribution? Could I shift the purple hue or should it be like green?

I rewrote the tutorial in the post-jam version over at https://sqrz.app - let me know if that's an improvement.

I'm really glad you enjoyed the game!

Thank you for all the kind words.

The SDF shape swallowing is just so satisfying. I love it so much.

Also, perfect artwork. Triangles, Squares and Circles only, as all games should be.

The sound is really well done, even the first sound of the logo slamming down.

Just hats off. Loved it.

pico-8 and a wonderful wonderful game. aesthetics and just really great. creative and fun. I unfortunately couldn't get past 5. felt like it was nearly perfect, triple checked all over and under and must have done it from scratch 5+ times. I read your response to another comment that win detection had a few issues - maybe that's it or maybe I need to get gud. either way, thank you for the experience!

this one is a bit round on the right, but I tried correcting that too to no avail.

Thank you so much!

You should play the updated version at https://sqrz.app - if you want light mode back you can just click the SQRZ logo. 

Let me know if the updates to the tutorial help with clarity! Also adding speed running splits.

I shared this in a speedrunning discord and someone hit 30M. Crazy. I've been trying to keep up and finally broke 1M today.

Thank you! I really appreciate all your kind words. I have a really hard time finishing games, so I'm happy this one got to a place where I feel comfortable with strangers playing.

Great puzzle platformer with really nice aesthetic. Really nice job. I enjoyed it.

Sorry about that! On the https://sqrz.app there's a proper game over screen.

I've absolutely terrible at this game!

But I respect it and it was fun to try! I'd love a setting to make it faster - like 2 or even 4 times as fast! I think it would actually be easier for me haha. If you keep developing it, I'd try that!

Absolutely beautiful game, great camera work, very smooth zoom / panning. Really just loved the aesthetic and vibes. I don't know if I just... cheesed the game but I just made everything max size and it just kept working (didn't have to touch anything)? Had quite a few planets going. Does that strategy stop working at some point?

Looks nice / good aesthetics. Creative idea!

I don't think I'm galaxy brained enough to beat this!

Managed to make it to the end! Thanks for that experience. I love the artwork and the post processing. It all looks very nice. The levels felt polished and fun too. Thank you!!

Had a lot of fun with this game - I liked playing with the step speed on fastest, but it resets every level. Would love if it persisted!

So... I thought you had to get all the animals at once and I managed to beat the first few levels and then started banging my head against this game because it was so hard. Then I realized you could do one at a time... lol.

Also the moment I beat the first level - I thought that was going to be it, as it was quite difficult, and then I saw the whole skill tree! What a surprise.

You really put a lot into the game. Awesome job.

Spent quite a while on this! Had fun, but couldn't get past the gold layer. Not sure what I was missing!

Loved the artwork and it was a fun game loop, fits the theme well.

Really nicely done.

De-throned let's go! Also, the https://sqrz.app version now has splits + game over screen.

Had a good time playing this! Great game loop, satisfying to play. If you keep developing it - I think it'd be a lot of fun to make the map larger and the upgrades have a larger effect on the player. I got a lot of speed upgrades, but didn't feel like that I was moving that much faster, maybe that's just a preference thing though! Really nice job overall. Crazy it's your first jam!

You may have ran into a bug I found which is fixed on https://sqrz.app where subsequent plays without refresh don't go back to 3 remaining but whatever your last run max was.

Godot?

You can play on the main menu!

I found a bug in the itch version where your "remaining" carries over between rounds... You can just refresh the page or play at sqrz.app (I fixed it there)

Someone got 200k. You gotta take your crown back.

Let it be known:

By playing this game, you acknowledge that you participate at your own risk and release SQRZ from any liability for injuries or damages that may occur during gameplay.

---

That being said, 200k?!?! I got 87k last night and was super proud about that. This is next level. We should put it on a world record site. Or speed run. Like how fast can get to X.

You'll notice in scoring, it's based on time remaining and current level. And when you finish a level you get 30s on the clock, so it has a snowball compound effect.

Congrats, that's current WR afaik.

Getting SNKRX vibes - really like this. One of my favorites of the jam so far.

Getting close... I will beat 97k...

Ah that explains even more 😂

Had a nice little relaxing time playing this. Visuals remind me of Mini Motorways. I hit a cow and instantly lost. 10/10

Fun game - the sudden difficulty ramp caught me off guard! I thought I had a good system going haha.

Not sure if it's intentional, but you can go out of bounds without penalty as far as I can tell.

I also didn't realize that cars of different colors didn't collide, and spent unneeded effort trying to route them all uniquely lol.

The music was great. I like the graphics.

F and H (together or apart etc.) didn't seem to do anything.

And absolutely. Pixel art and slugcats? amazing.

All in on 13 every time lol. Reached $a lot.

Great pixel art. Lots of fun. Could turn this into a nice roguelike!

Unique concept for sure! Only managed to get to 20s - couldn't quite get the hang of it!

Beautiful pixel art.

The sound and art are really quite something. I really like the aesthetic and the lighting and movement.

When I got to the "please wait while I refresh my systems" I think something may have glitched.

Only the orange guy could move from that point on and only strangely and the "refresh systems" loop never seemed to finish. 

Nice job. Super tough game. I only got about halfway through the levels - the later ones looked crazy.

It's clever and uses physics nicely.

cute and fun game - and I was excited when the difficulty started ramping up around 200!

nothing beats a jet 2 holiday lol. this game was something else haha. super creative. really nice job.
