A downloadable game

Square of Joy is a challenging (but fair) climbing game. Controls are very simple; you can rotate and push yourself using one of (or all) 4 limbs, just like a regular human. But also just like in real life, there is Newtonian physics acting against you. With a little practice though, you will learn to use it to your advantage, to gain momentum and maintain the satisfying flow.

  • Climb up, reach the top, using nothing but your skill and will.
  • Experience emotions you didn't know you have in you.
  • Unlock achievements and find secrets along the way.
  • Check out the ultra fast instant RESTART button.

Below you'll find some quotes of famous people accurately describing the experience:

“We choose to (...) do the (...) things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard” John F. Kennedy

“If you’re tired of starting over, stop giving up”
Shia LaBeouf

"Why do I climb the mountain? (...) Because I'm in Love"
William Shatner


NOTE:
The game was first built to work with Steam and it uses their systems (Global Ranking, Friends, Stats, Achievements). If you want to check it out, use the link below. However, while I keep updating Square of Joy, I am also working on a standalone, Steam-agnostic build which I plan to release here. Shouldn't take long from now (famous last dev words). I'll describe my progress in dev logs. Cheers!
