Can you beat the square?
Can you beat the square is an action shooter where you have to beat the same square in every level...OR DO YOU?! The square evolves as you go and develops harder and more complex mechanics and attacks. Can you beat him in every level?
Grab a friend and try it! (local multiplayer)
Or try it alone! (singleplayer)
USE FULLSCREEN WHEN PLAYING IN BROWSER!
I RECOMMEND DOWNLOADING THE GAME!
CONTROLS
Keyboard&Mouse:
WASD to move. Mouse to look around. Left mouse button to fire. Space key to dash.
Gamepad:
Left Stick to move. Right stick to look/fire. RB to dash.
THERE IS A BUG
there is a Unity WebGl bug: When using gamepad, the y-axis is reversed. This only affects navigation in UI!

A pal and I played co-op and got through to about lvl 34 before we started skipping. Couldn't beat 40 unfortunately before they had to leave. Therefore we did not beat the square, this time anyway. Fun game tho!
Really cool! Great job!
how many levels are there
There are 40 levels. In the menu there is a "levels" button where you can select any level.
Just finished level 40! Btw there's a invincibility bug with the shield: sometimes when you lose the shield you remain with invincibility, and to go back to normal I bought the invincibility dash upgrade and it fixed the problem, idk what it may be but I hope this helps!
Wow congrats! Thanks for reporting the bug :)
finally finished all 40 levels after like 2 hours. was really fun to play!
Wow all 40 levels!? Awesome!
Thanks for playing!
Awesome game! The shop creates a nice strategy aspect and difficulty balancing system. But how many levels are there?! I stopped at 24 for now...
Thanks for the nice words! There are 40 levels. There is also a level-select menu where you can pick a level.
Very Great! Love this!
Thanks man!
...
Soo...you couldn't beat the sqaure?..
level 6 is a real bummer to beat tho, lmao! found level 7+ was much easier than 6. good game either way, 5 stars.
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
really fun to play. the evenly paced difficulty progression is also very much appreciated.
Hey mate, Could you please but my game and support me? I am a 14 year old guy trying to make money by making good games. Please buy my game to support me.
Thank You.
Hey, I don't want to be mean here, but this is not a very nobel way of advertising. In your age, money should not be the reason for you do make games. If you keep on making games and learn programming, you will have a bright future! But please don't copy this begging for money on other peoples game pages!
Sure brother, I am sorry.
I replied to your this game before also because I am really your big fan! you make far better games than me.
Haha thanks! Will check that out later!
I like that it's playable on my basilisk-browser win8.1-laptop & that there are sound-config's like for music & effects, while I'd think "(can you beat the) square" sounds quite too common as title, still the gameplay and graphics being cool, especially including a fly that represents the protagonist.
If the level could be manually selected after completing one, e.g. either choosing "shop", "next" or "custom level", would be my personal suggestion.
What feature I'm kinda missing on itch, being a voting-option for this game?
Thanks for the feedback! I submitted this game for the FFS2021 gamejam and only other participants of the jam can rate this game.
I guess that I joined this jam and also submitted my game there, not sure why I still couldn't vote ...maybe rating is just possible within the jam's section than directly at the itch-page of this game, where it could be played or added to someone's playlist?
yes that is the case. Just go to the jam site and set the filter to "most rated". I think this is the easiest way to find my game. Would be very thankful if you rated this game :)
Now I just viewed its comments and "rating" was appearing where e.g. the "marking for including in playlist"-options being located.
The best game played by me so far on a pc,
This is amazing
Thanks, I really aappreciate your comment! :)
Genuinely enjoyable gameplay, gives me 2000s flash vibes. nice work
woah the gameplay is super fun! well done!
Really great game dude!!
Really enjoying it! I will beat the square one day!
This is so fun!
This game is so addicting!
I would suggest adding a live boss bar so that you know how far into each boss you are. Keep it up!
Hey! Thanks for the feedback! I kind of like the concept of not knowing the current health of the boss. I think thats makes it a bit more exciting. But I understand that not everyone likes that! :)
really good bro! keep it up!
Really fun game! I got to level 14 and even though the game is difficult, I really enjoyed it. Great Job! I can't wait to see what is to come!
Thanks! I'm happy you liked it!
Hmm POPPED in my discord and linked this game. Really nice game. (lvl 9 impossible)
Really nice fast paced game with a lot of potential. I'm definitely going to follow the development of this one. Keep it up!
Thank you very much for the nice words!
Great game, very addictive!
