A game I made in 3 days for the Ludum Dare #51event.

SquareMan is a game where you (a square) collect coin (pale gold circles) in a labyrinth while avoiding guardians (diamonds) while they are purple and you are red or collecting them while they are cyan and you are green. Your state changes every 10 seconds (of course).

To start moving or to change direction just tap the arrow or WASD keys once (do not hold them down). Since you are moving at high speed, you need to press the key before getting to a corner, otherwise you will miss them. Don’t worry about pressing them too soon, the game will remember what you pressed.

There are 3 levels of increasing size and difficulty. Can you beat them all?

The music was created especially for this game during the event by my friend Aziraphal, everything else was created from scratch by myself during the event.Make sure to play it full screen (press that blue button with arrows under the game).
