Square Platformer: 25 Levels, Hardcore Mode & Secret Codes

Square Platformer offers 25 hand-tested levels, with stages 7, 15, 17, and 24 designed by @applebell37. The game features multiple modes: Hardcore Mode for purists and Cheat Mode (unlimited lives) for casual play. A hidden code earned by completing the first ten levels allows players to skip ahead.

Controls & Shortcuts

Key shortcuts include S to skip the intro, C to toggle clouds, and M for music control. The game is momentum-based, requiring running starts for certain jumps, and introduces cactus hazards in stage two. Wall-jumping is available, and players start with five lives in standard mode.

Challenges & Records

The developer has set a highscore of 0 deaths in Hardcore Mode with a time of 124 seconds and zero skips. The project includes a backstory for Square and has been updated with a timer and cloud controls. All levels are possible, though levels 8, 14, 15, and 16 are noted as particularly challenging.
