Screenshots

A square, some squares, and perfect jumps

You guide a small square across plain 1x1 tiles, where what you see is exactly what can kill you. There are no enemies, no bullets, no lasers to blame, only gaps to clear and landings to stick.

Levels are short, so a mistake costs seconds and you are straight back in. The pixel look stays out of the way, with clear shapes and strong contrast that make the next jump easy to read. It is the kind of game that fits beside a podcast, until a hard level makes you pause the podcast.

Easygoing or painful, plus a stopwatch

You choose from different difficulty levels, from something calm to something that will happily rack up 500 respawns. Every level tracks your best time, plus level and world completion times if speedrunning is your thing.

Yes, an FPS limiter gets its own feature bullet. That tells you plenty about this game's sense of humour.

What else should you know?

How long is a level?

Short. Most stages take seconds or a couple of minutes, so you can play a few while waiting for pasta water to boil and still have time to fail them repeatedly.

Does it explain its hitboxes?

Yes, by showing them. The whole world is built from the same 1x1 squares as your character, so edges and safe ground are always literal.

Can you play it with a controller?

Yes. Controller play is supported, which suits the simple inputs and the short retry loop when a hard section starts testing your calm.
