Overview

A Simple Square is a minimalist puzzle game developed and published by Antharuu. It presents players with a deceptively simple premise: navigate a single square to an exit on a grid. However, the core mechanic introduces a significant challenge: every tile the player's square crosses disappears behind it. This rule transforms the game from a simple pathfinding exercise into a deep logical challenge, demanding careful planning and foresight.
