Squidfold is about something (and also possibly about nothing).
Squidfold (probably) contains neither squids nor folds.
Squidfold cannot eat you (if you don't look at it).

Squidfold is playable(?) here.

Interesting concept. I first played it wrong, I didn't thought even things I cannot see can kill me. Afterwards it got way easier Smiley

Though I never broke anything. May I ask what "broken" means?

1048 after 2 tries.

Nice aesthetics. I really like how each of the three states has a different visual and aural feel to them. Smiley

Name's a reference to Squidi's White Noise concept?

At an earlier phase of design the name was a very oblique allusion to another game. The design changed significantly since that point and the name stayed.

The "broken" thing is a mystery mechanic. Playtesters said it was missing something, so I added something. The playtesters then agreed that a satisfactory amount of something had been added.

Interesting...
I got 1299 on my first go, then resolved to try and figure out how to "break" stuff...
(I think it involves moving into a dangerous shape, and being near death as you shift to its shade...?)
