Square Off

In Square Off you're a square squaring off against other squares (try saying that ten times fast) in a top-down arcade shooter! However, you'll want to be careful when shooting, since your ammunition is also your health. Fortunately, your cannon comes equipped with some rather lethal looking spikes,  which are great at blocking bullets and could be used if your ammo stockpile is looking a little dry.

Notice:

Due to the limitations of the web version, the game doesn't look quite as good, and the brightness slider doesn't work. These issues are not present in the downloadable version, however that version might trigger a warning from Windows Defender, I think this is a known issue with smaller Godot games (something about Defender not recognizing the file, I still have to look into it more). From my experience, this doesn't happen if the game is downloaded from the itch.io app, and of course the web version circumvents this entirely (it just doesn't look as good).

All screenshots are from the downloadable version.

There's no difference in content between versions, so you won't miss anything important if you aren't comfortable with downloading the game.

Known Bugs:

• The in-game music seems to fail to restart if you die after several waves. This can be fixed by just returning to the main menu and restarting from there.
