About the Game

In a cruel geometric world where treacherous Circles rule supreme, you are one of the last brave Squares to challenge their entire system! Get ready for endless deaths and comebacks, because only through dozens of defeats will you overcome hordes of enemies: endless hordes of red Circles; swift white Circles; purple sniper Circles and other adherents of the BigCircle. Every mistake you make will cost you your life, but every restart will strengthen your resolve.

Your mission is to save your kin! A green Square is languishing in the dungeon, an ally guarded by mysterious and terrible Circles from which no one has ever escaped alive. To win, use your granted skills - speed, shield, spikes, and most importantly, get a cannon to kill Mugs in packs. But most importantly, bring her back, the pink Square of your dreams, trapped in the heart of the Bolshekrug citadel. The giant Mandala of the Absolute awaits the final battle - its super-laser attacks will incinerate you in an instant if you don't master the evasions to automatism.

You'll have to squeeze everything out of yourself: jump jewelry between spikes, counterattack into micro windows of vulnerability, use the environment as a weapon. Forget about easy victories - just for the hundredth time, memorizing every pixel of the trajectories, you will break the last circle of tyranny. Will you save your friends? Will you set love free? Can you prove that angles are stronger than circles? Only your perseverance will give the answer.

This game will give you an idea of what hardcore is in its purest form. You will find 60 levels of endless deaths and attempts to gain the upper hand in multi-genre levels. Only the strongest will collect all the achievements. Good luck!
