Squareman 2 Overview
Squareman 2 was one of those games you'd find on a Flash portal in the late 2000s. It didn't have a big studio behind it, but it had a clean, simple look that felt right for the time. You loaded it up in your browser, and it just worked, no fuss.
You control a small square character, navigating through a series of compact rooms. The moment to moment play is about precision jumping and avoiding hazards. Your main objective is to reach the exit in each level, which often requires pushing blocks or hitting switches to open the path. The early levels introduce these mechanics gently, showing you how to interact with the environment using the arrow keys. The pacing is steady, but the difficulty builds as new obstacles like moving platforms or timed doors appear. It feels like a thoughtful puzzle wrapped in a platformer's skin.
