Overview

About this game

One square. One rule. Lots of traps.

A Simple Square is a minimalist puzzle game where every move changes the level.

Choose a direction, and your square slides in a straight line until it hits an obstacle. But there is one essential rule: every tile you cross disappears behind you.

An open path can close behind you. An obvious route can doom you. To reach the exit, moving forward is not enough: you have to plan the exact order of your moves.

Easy to understand, demanding to master

A Simple Square is not about reflexes, but about reading the grid, anticipating your path, and using logic. Each level is short, readable, and built around a clear idea, but a single wrong decision can block the entire solution.

Throughout the campaign, new mechanics enrich the rules without betraying the simplicity of the concept: stop tiles, forced directions, keys, doors, teleporters, hazards, blocks, and other variations that gradually change the way you think.

Content

  • 240 levels spread across more than 8 worlds.

  • World-based progression, with new mechanics introduced step by step.

  • Short and precise levels, designed to be understood quickly and solved methodically.

  • A medal system to optimize your solutions and aim for the ideal number of moves.

  • An Infinite mode featuring procedurally generated puzzles.

  • A Speedrun mode with timers, segments, and leaderboards.

  • Steam achievements and leaderboards to extend the challenge.

Every move matters

The board looks simple. The rule takes only a few seconds to understand. But once you start sliding, every decision leaves a permanent trace.

Move carefully. The path behind you will not stay open.
