A fighting game where you can't stop jumping

kind of a retrospective

So there's a game called Square Scramble...

it's on Gamejolt right now and it's one of the weirdest projects I've ever worked on.

It's kind of a weird story though. Because Square Scramble wasn't really supposed to be a game when I first started working on it.

It started off as a simulation of sorts where these cubes would just bounce around and you could put bets on which square you thought would stay on screen the longest. Then I ended up adding controls to it so you can move left and right. And then it just kind of spiraled from there.

Now it's got all sorts of content like:

• around 15 maps, I can't really remember exactly how many
• a bunch of player skins (which I'll talk about in a second)
• random events that happen while you play
• two other modes, one where you do platforming and one with a whole boss battle system

the maps

There's a map for every color of the rainbow! each with special mechanics in them like moving platforms, falling objects, and even AI enemies!

The map select screen (14 maps btw)

I won't go over everything in each level but there's some really fun mechanics!

the skins

So one of the things that made me really like this game is I actually opened up the skin creation to the community during the development of the game.

The skin selection screen

I can't show them all sadly but players were able to make and submit skins to me and I would put them in the game.

conclusion

that's all I really have to say about it, it's free on gamejolt if you wanna play it but yeah thanks for reading!
