About the 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.

  • Compete with Steam friends and players from all over the world.

  • Discover secrets along the way.
