About the Game

Notice: Achievements are not working right now. Just know that I'm trying to get it working again but it may not work for some time, if ever.

STORY

This game is about a Square, named Norm. Norm has been a Square his entire life and he's begun to tire of it.

So Norm has a brilliant idea! He'll stop being a Square and become a Circle! It's not as easy as it sounds, though...

Norm will need to GAIN SIDES to become ROUNDER. You must guide Norm from WORLD TO WORLD, and BOSS TO BOSS, gaining SIDES along the way!

With each boss Norm defeats, a NEW SIDE will be added to his shape, and with it, a NEW POWER!

Well... what are you waiting for? LET'S GET GOING!!!

GAMEPLAY


Square Norm is a fairly challenging 2d platformer. It starts off easy so you can learn the basics, but quickly ramps up in difficulty later on. If you're looking for a real challenge then look no further!

You move left and right and can JUMP, as well as perform special ACTIONS depending on your shape.

There are ENEMIES to defeat, GAPS to jump over, and special hidden STARS in every stage that will unlock HATS and BOSSES.

CONTROLS


JUMP/ACCEPT - Z
ACTION/CANCEL - X
MENU - Enter
LEFT - Left Arrow
RIGHT - Right Arrow
