One of Those Games

About this game

This is just another one of those games — the kind designed to stir up that dormant frustration inside you.

You play as a colored square trying to climb your way up a minimalistic, color-coded gauntlet. The rule is simple: you can only touch objects that match your current color. Mess that up, and you'll fall. And not just a little — you'll plummet all the way down through every layer you’ve already passed.

Simple controls. Brutal consequences. Unfair design that somehow always feels fair — until it doesn’t.

If you’re the kind of player who laughs in the face of pain, this one’s for you.

One of Those Games

A brutally minimal precision platformer where you play as a shifting-colored square, only able to touch objects that match your color — fall once, and drop through every layer you've already climbed.
