Just Random Squares

Just Random Squares is an arcade bullet hell action game in which you control a square unit, fight through 100 waves of square enemies and aim for the highest score you can. Waves are randomly generated, so each playthrough differs unless you use the same RNG seed.

Modes and loadouts

Choose from predefined game modes with different difficulty levels and rules, such as increased currency income, or use Custom mode to adjust the available parameters. Before each run, choose a unit-and-weapon combination from those you have unlocked. You can also spend currency carried over from previous runs on consumables that boost your next run or permanent perk upgrades.

Survive the waves

Defeat enemies to earn scores based on how many you defeat and how much damage you take during each wave. Enemies drop healing, energy and currency: healing restores health, while energy lets you level up stats for the current run or use skills. Stat upgrades are lost when your unit is defeated, but collected currency persists. Each unit has three skills to use strategically as you try to survive as long as possible.

A run ends when you are defeated or beat the final boss. After defeat, return to the loadout to prepare for another run. After winning, you can save your score and start a new playthrough at a higher difficulty.

Units, weapons and enemies

The game has five player unit types with different stats and skills, and seven weapons with distinct firing patterns, including shotguns and railguns. You face five enemy types, each with different stats and skills and five power tiers. Enemies use over 10 weapon types and over 25 kinds of behavior that determine how they move and use their weapons. Four bosses have multiple phases and attack patterns.

Progression and records

Over 25 permanent perks complement the quick level-ups available during a run. The game also includes achievements, local leaderboards and adjustable settings.
