About This Game Congratulations, warehouse keeper! You've been promoted!Little Square Things is a Sokoban-like puzzle game. The objective is simple: Move boxes around to cover up some panels.But this isn't your father's warehouse. In Little Square Things, you are the boxes. All of them. All of the Square Things respond to your every move, and so it's up to you keep them coordinated, in sync, and in line. Guide them through a series of challenging (and hazardous!) environments to get those panels covered!It also draws inspiration from games like Brix and Chip's Challenge. From walls to water, from bullets to buzzsaws -- other elements either stand in your way or help you out, depending on your perspective. And different Square Things behave differently. Some follow your commands directly and to the letter, though some slip and slide or laze about until pushed. And some Square Things have to be sacrificed for the greater good. And if that weren't enough, the geometry itself is an obstacle: Boards wrap around, and null spaces literally don't exist.As a master shepherd of sheep and cats alike, you are the Square Things' beacon of hope in these complicated times.New! Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA) and SoundBlaster support!With its futuristic 16-color graphics and Musical Instrument Digital Interface, Little Square Things is going to blow you away. So boot up your i386, tinker with your CONFIG.SYS, and crack your knuckles in preparation for that DOS prompt, because it's time to play a game! Also, it's 1991!Reach for the stars!As you nab stars, you unlock more levels. Cover your panels to earn stars, and complete levels under a certain number of moves to earn more.When you revisit a level, though, you'll find it to be familiar but subtly different. It turns out that you've unlocked another goal for the level: collecting star shards. The layout's the same, but the tactics are much, much different. You'll have to be prepared to bend your thinking accordingly.Content!The Free to Play version of the game includes 30 levels. "The Whole Thing" DLC adds another 80. 7aa9394dea Title: Little Square ThingsGenre: Indie, Strategy, Early AccessDeveloper:gbelo GamesRelease Date: 30 Apr, 2019 Little Square Things Free Download [FULL] the little things solo square. little square things. the little things australia square I've been following the development of Little Square Things for a long time; and it feels like a game from another era in the very best way.

"04/14/2019" -- Some Shard Stars' tweaks and slightly more: To grab the third star in the level, you've got to get the first one and then revisit. For these stars, ideally, There should be a twist. You shouldn't have to repeat most of the steps needed to beat the level in the first place. It shouldn't just be a matter of waltzing into the level and grabbing them a few steps from the start.That's the design goal of the Shard Star: an interesting twist on the existing level. You know, something that's (a) interesting, and (b) a twist. There were a few levels where that whole thing could be improved. So it was improved. Most noticeable in levels 2-9, 3-6, 3-10, 4-4, 6-7, 7-3, 8-2, 9-6.Some levels' values for Par Stars were also balanced, mostly with more relaxed move requirements.Also, squares look in the direction they're moving. It's actually ever so slightly helpful.Next on the horizon: Even more expressive squares! Displaying your personal best "score" (number of moves) for each level. Beat yourself! The story and ending(s). Oh, and the full game available in... some capacity, somehow, for public consumption.Happy squaring!. ASK THE AUDIENCE: Controlling the game speed... more obviously. : tldr: Speed and speed controls need to be made more obvious In watching some Let's Plays, it seems like folks sometimes get stuck on levels where you need to take things slowly and carefully. Take 3-10, where the goal is basically to solve the level in 11 moves, at which point the Buzzsaw's gonna wreck a Crate already sitting on a Panel, causing you to lose.Now, it can be played like an "action" level, where reflexes and speed come into play. It's even possible to complete it on full speed. But that's not necessarily the intent. If you think an action/reflexes-based approach is your only option, your game experience is artificially limited. You don't know what tools are in your toolbox. The thing is that you have control over the game's speed. Dynamically, within the game. You can speed it up. You can even hold a button to fast forward in case you're waiting for a bullet to destroy a pile of rubble or something so you can press forward. You can also decrease the speed to the point that the game runs turn-by-turn. Or, turn-based or bullet time or whatever you'd like to call it. Bullets and buzzsaws will pause and wait for you to make a move. You can stop and think about every single move you make. You can even "pass" a turn and just wait a frame by pressing SPACE or button A. You can take those 11 moves one at a time if you want. Speed up by pressing > or button RT, down by pressing < or LT. The thing is that the only hints that you can do this are (a) that there's a little icon in the HUD showing your speed, and (b) the "How to Play" screen shows speed up/down controls. This needs to be fixed.For one thing, the HUD is going to be more apparent in what speed you're at, and that there are actually multiple speeds. Make it larger, give it a speedometer of sorts to convey that speed can change. For another thing... well, that's where you and I have some options: Overlay speed controls on 1-4, the first level in which some things (Ice Cube) move automatically depending on game speed. Maybe also a few other early levels, such as 2-1, where you first encounter Bullets. The only problem is that you can skip levels, but then again chances are that you won't skip 1-4 at first. Put a Bullet bouncing around in 1-1, out of the way, to demonstrate that some things move automatically. Possibly also with an overlay of movement controls. A dialog box along the lines of "hey you can control your speed". (Not my favorite option, because we'd rather show than tell. I'm keen on option 1.Any other thoughts? What have you seen that works? I'd love for us to make this game the best and most accessible it can be. ... also, I need to implement the ability to remap controls. That's coming.. THE FULL VERSION IS HERE: The full version is now live! Square like you've never squared before in 111 whole levels!More good news: Testing seems to indicate that if you had the game in your library already, you got upgraded to the full version for free. If you did -- well, enjoy!Note that it's still in Early Access, which means that it can still greatly benefit from feedback! Most updates and patches will be pushed to both the full version and the demo at about the same time.. ...loud and clear!: Thank you for your participation in Square Things's Early Access! In the span of just a day or so, we've received quite a few great suggestions and insightful comments. They're already shaping development.And that's what Early Access is all about. Your feedback is invaluable. Please, keep it up! You can find the discussion board right here.The game is meant to be accessible to a broad audience, and so we welcome your broad-based feedback from your many different perspectives. Even slight adjustments can have a significant impact on user experience. So do grandiose ideas.And so do bug reports.There's a nasty bug in particular. There have been reports that the game can crash, mostly when the game is launched for the very first time. (Though in those cases, it seems to work as expected the second time around.) If you experience a crash, please drop us a line. Your reports on when and where crashes happen will help isolate the problem and get it fixed.You can expect to have the first update in your hands soon. Of course, fixing that bothersome crashing issue is top priority. That means that the very first update to be pushed out probably won't be super flashy. But flashiness is in the queue for future updates.Thanks again!. HEY, LISTEN: Little Square Things is now COMPLETELY FREE! Tell everyone! : Little Square Things is now completely free!Well, let's call it "go tell all of your friends and leave a review if you like it"ware. Many of you were already "grandfathered in" to the full version, but many were not. Why the change?The major reason is that the money is a "nice to have" but ultimately conflicts with my primary goal: getting it out there. In my day job, I make a good part of my living proliferating knowledge.Similarly, Little Square Things is a passion project at its core, and ultimately I want it to be accessible. I want you to be able to enjoy it as much as I do. So, please do. No strings attached.Additionally, many of the tools that I use to make the game, levels, graphics and music -- among them are GIMP[www.gimp.org], Haxe[haxe.org], Tiled[www.mapeditor.org], and OpenMPT[openmpt.org] -- are also free. It just makes sense to make this game free, too.There have also been some bumps in the pay model. First, DLC flat-out didn't work. Then, a nasty bug within Steam that made the full version free anyway[www.steamgifts.com] -- which is essentially the straw that broke the camel's back.Also, marketing is just the worst.What's the catch?None, but I humbly request that, if you like the game, you spread the word about it and leave a review. What if I've already bought the game?If you'd like a refund, the official channels work best. Steam's refund policy is here: https://store.steampowered.com/steam_refunds/If that doesn't work, please contact me directly and we can work it out.You've got the option to save it as a "donation" of sorts, but your under no obligation to do so. Does this mean that you're abandoning the project?Not at all. I also plan to release it out of Early Access in a timely manner. This doesn't change the (albeit very loose already) schedule.Any future plans for monetization?The base game, the set of 111 levels, is and will continue to be free. There may be level expansion packs in the future, and those may or may not be paid DLC. Ive also talked about additional game modes, like mini games and level editors, which may or may not be paid extras.That's it! Go enjoy! And please contact me if you run into any problems, and leave feedback, comments, and... reviews.. Full version coming... pretty soon...!: Finally! The full version should be available for purchase within the next few days, pending some approvals.The main app will become the full version and a paid product, and what most of you have on your desktops right now will become a demo. The demo will still offer a full 31 levels for free, while the full version has 111.During Early Access, it'll be pretty heavily discounted.You'll see another announcement once it's all live. Happy squaring!. Quick patch: version "02/28/2019 ... etc": A few changes, some substantial, some not. It's with a heavy heart.. or something.. that we announce that Steam Achievements no longer grant Stars for level progression. It's a decent idea, and it actually worked pretty well, but there are some logical and logistical nightmares there.For one, if we think of a hundred cool things that would be worth granting achievements for, we would have to rebalance the game progression: figuring out when achievements could be earned vs. stars needed to unlock new worlds, and so on. For two, it doesn't allow room for growth in other potential game modes, or even in new level packs. Everything would have to be tied to the main game. For three... not that this is your problem, but the code behind it was a mess. Especially in making sure that earning achievements didn't actually depend on Steam running, but making sure that the list in-game and the list on Steam were consistent, and being able to sync achievement unlocks to Steam later and.. yeah.Achievements will still be tracked and will be listed in some in-game stats summary page, along with progress in the main game and other game modes too. You can just think of achievements as a separate set of collectibles. (Other game modes and level packs would have their own collectibles too.)It's a bit harder to advance to new worlds, because some achievements (and therefore some stars) were "gimmies." You'd get a star just for showing up. You'd get another star just for getting a star. And so on. But the number of star requirements for each of the world were based on the "normal" stars anhyway. Menus dynamically resize, so long menu options don't get botched graphically.. So... hooray...? Fixed an issue to do with the turn-based gameplay and automatic time advance. When not in "Bullet Time" speed, the game advances the clock automatically. But if you'd issued a command to move right when the game was just about to take a turn for you, you'd basically take two turns in a split second. That would mess with timing, because you might, say, have a bullet move two spaces when you'd expected it to move one. Now, there's a "buffer" around when you take a turn so that that doesn't happen. It plays much more fairly.By the way, you can use the keys < and > (buttons LB and RB) to adjust the speed and you can hold TAB (button RT) to fast forward. Other small things.. The DLC's up. But PLEASE read before checking it out!: Full disclosure.The DLC has been released, but keep in mind that it's DLC for a game that's still in Early Access. The base game may have bugs associated with reading the DLC in the first place.We'd recommend holding off on purchasing until it's confirmed to, you know, actually work.. v. "04/09/2019" -- The "it's been a little while" update: It's been a little while. But long enough of a while that this this list may not be comprehensive. Added a final level. Clearing that level is essentially the (non-100%) win condition.Well, two final levels, really, depending on your version. In the full version, it's "The Gauntlet" and comes as the 111th level. In the free version, it's "The Fauxntlet" as level 31.The prologue and endings are storyboarded but not fully programmed or triggered normally yet. They do exist, though. Most of the level layouts have been made to "fit" their world better. Grass Land levels look more open and sprawling, Spooky Castle Land is claustrophopbic, Cold Land looks more like an arctic environment, Zed Land's got prominent borders, and so on. The levels are functionally exactly the same as they were before, meaning that the solutions haven't changed at all; they just look more fitting. There are sidewalk chalk marks (such as arrows and circles) that you'll see from time to time. The gameplay is still very much "just try it and see what happens" and so these don't really give away solutions, but they'll nudge you a tiny bit at least in some of the early levels. 1-1 and 1-5 are good examples of how they're used.Top priority will be figuring out how free+full will be offered: as F2P+DLC or demo+paid. Really depends on some Steam logistics.Happy squaring!. v. "04/20/2019" -- The "not much to say" update: Hardly noteworthy, though some were fan suggestions. You can now move while "fast forwarding" (TAB or button RT by default) by holding a direction. You'll basically zip across the screen, which is good when you know where you're going. Preference for music volume actually saves now. Imagine that! Fixed some issues with the title screen "animation" when invoking and canceling out of the title menu in wonky ways. Fixed some issues with the app icons. Tweaked some of the music in the later worlds.
