Squarsenal

Squarsenal is a well polished, cohesive, small game that explores an interesting game mechanic - using the square to enable your attacks. However, I feel like the game only scratches the surface of potential for the game mechanic it's based on.

I would expect there to be some room for skill expression from the player e.g skill combos and synergies - like you would see in a true "deckbuilder". The majority of the time you do not have to think very hard about the items you are targeting in the square.

I also feel like there was a missed opportunity to add personality and nuance the enemies - some enemies do have effects that change how you interact with your arsenal, but they aren't pronounced enough. Rarely would my gameplay be actually obstructed meaningfully by the cloud guy covering my view, or the fire guy burning my items.

Overall it's a nice game, and is well made, especially for the price - a lot of potential for a full, faster paced sequel

Interesting attack mechanic, especially for DVD menu aficionados. I have two suggestions for features, though:
1) Have the game remember your settings between play sessions. The audio keeps turning back on when I restart the game.
2) Include a windowed mode. This may just be me, but I like to play idle games while doing other things, which is impossible if the game cannot be windowed.
UPDATE: The absolute legend added the features I suggested within a day. Thank you! :D

Cute little RPG based around a unique battle system where you basically group bouncing screensaver icons to do attacks. A bit mindless given the lack of scoring or any kind of mechanic to punish failure but for the price its well worth it for the novelty alone.
