Trapezoid

Every transformation costs you. Swap shapes to smash, roll, and cling through a handmade miniature world where household items are ancient relics and the lighthearted façade starts to crack.

About the Game

Transform Your Way Forward

Trapezoid is a handcrafted 2D puzzle-platformer where changing your shape changes how you move through the world.

Transform between a square, triangle, circle, a̸͎̋́n̸̛̟d̷̟̋͠ ̴̫̳̽͆t̶̙͝r̴̖͝á̵͔̕p̶̦͌ḛ̷̡͘z̴̲͝o̷͓̟̐̃i̴̬̘͗͝d̴̟̂͠,̶͔̹́̈́   each with its own movement abilities and physical personality. Climb across walls and ceilings, bounce through hazardous spaces, smash through obstacles, and combine transformations to uncover the most efficient path through each level.

Every transformation counts. Completing a level is only the beginning—mastering it means finding a smarter solution.

Three Shapes, Three Ways to Move

Switch between forms at the right moment to overcome puzzles that blend platforming, timing, momentum, and spatial reasoning.

Square
Reliable and grounded. Use the square’s balanced movement and powerful slam to break through obstacles.

Triangle
Slow, precise, and able to cling to floors, walls, and ceilings. Use the triangle to navigate surfaces that other shapes cannot reach.

Circle
Fast, bouncy, and difficult to contain. Build momentum, launch across gaps, and turn the environment into your playground.

Find the Best Solution

Each level has a PAR score based on the number of transformations used. Reach the exit however you can, then return to refine your route, reduce unnecessary transformations, and discover solutions you may have overlooked.

Sometimes the clearest path is not the most efficient one.

An Atmospheric Handcrafted World

Explore playful environments inspired by cardboard dioramas, children’s crafts, toys, chalk drawings, theater sets, and rainy-day imagination.

Every area is built with a tactile, handmade style filled with small details, unusual materials, and visual surprises.

Features

  • 6 worlds with their own unique art style, elements, and hazards 

  • Over 50 unique puzzles

  • Transform between three shapes with distinct movement abilities

  • Solve puzzles using climbing, bouncing, smashing, timing, and momentum

  • Complete levels freely, then optimize your solution to meet or beat PAR

  • Discover multiple approaches and hidden efficiencies

  • Explore a colorful world inspired by claymation and handmade crafts

  • Uncover a quiet story hidden beneath the playful surroundings

  • Trapezoid  - shape removed. Do not become trapezoid

There is always another way through—and perhaps a better shape for the job.
