sqrxz 2 is a great little challenging platformer reminiscent of the amiga era.
it weighs 1 mb and is currently available for pc, linux, dreamcast, wiz, cannoo and pandora, motmagx...
(i assume it will also be ported to mac and amiga)
http://www.sqrxz2.de/

well i just made a trailer for it.










...i also featured all 3 games by the developers on pixelprospector:

The fluid control over your character, coupled with stunning retro visuals, tripled with amazing chip tunes, makes this game epic as all hell.  However, it's bloody hard. Beg  I guess its greatness comes with a price, haha.  Step aside Super Meat Boy Angry, Sqrxz is in town.

Wow, I though "well, doesn't look that hard in the videos".
But I needed to think twice, it's goddamn hard ! But it's part of the enjoyement, because yes it IS enjoyable.
Also, bunny.
Am I alone to be reminded of Cave Story with this game ? Though i'm plenty aware they don't play the same at all.
In any case, awesome ! The first one is easier btw.

nice to hear such positive feedback Smiley
(i hope that some more sites will feature the game in the future)

...oh and if you shouldn't know how to master a certain area simply watch the walkthrough that i've recorded (for both games).

Actually I played this last week and was impressed. Brought back fond Amiga memories with its graphics style. Its challenging, I got stuck on level 1 for the first few goes!!!

Pretty fun game!
Is there any way to run it in a window instead of fullscreen, besides using D3DWindower?
