Description

A Minimalist Puzzle with Maximum Charm

Squarepinski is a cosy but challenging puzzle game that reinvents the classic jigsaw. In this geometric challenge, every piece is the humble square; but don’t be fooled by their lack of tabs! Instead of relying on borders or corners, you'll be figuring out how big each piece needs to be, and which have been mirrored! It's jigsaw puzzling... but not as you know it.

History

Squarepinski is being developed by a three-person team from the UK: one designer, one programmer, one artist.

The project originally started as an entry in the 2024 GMTK Game Jam - seeing the fantastic reception of the game (and scoring in the top 200 entries!), we rebuilt the project from the ground up for a full release.
