Read some very nice words on HeroSquare 💖 "I think this game is the definition of a hidden gem. Smooth control, variety of puzzles and it can get VERY difficult. Happy I took a chance on this game." The best part of being a dev is knowing that people enjoy your work!

HeroSquare: Simple visuals give little warning of what's to come in this brutal retro metroidvania
Not every game needs detailed, intricate art to shine. HeroSquare has brutal mechanics that will challenge you at every step.
