One Square One by NiklasRiewald

[raw]
made by NiklasRiewald for LD28 (COMPO)
In a computer game the computer screen usually gives you a huge amount of information by displaying various objects. But you give them only very little information and just press some buttons from time to time.

In One Square One this relation is reverted. You can use your whole keyboard to input keys, but you only get one giant rectangle that tells you how you do.

Controls: All keys, escpecially "return". Escape to quit.

If you have questions or other ideas for "one rectangle games":

I love the premise, but assuming you are meant to, I could not solve it.

You are ment to solve it. I have to admit that the game may feel very abitrary but there is no random element in it;)

That's the last one and like all end bosses it can be a *SPOILER* loooooong fight.

Beat it! It was fun first figuring out what was going on, and then figuring out how to solve the puzzles. I bet you could expand a lot upon this kind of puzzle / toy.
