A downloadable Little Square-Man for Windows and Linux

GAME CONTROLS: Z -> jump, Q -> go to the right, D -> go to the left, Left Shift -> sprint. (You can modify them via the settings menu)

The package includes two programs : the game (little_square_man) and the game editor (little_square_man_editor).

The editor can be used to create and export new levels to the game !
NOTE: with the editor, you can build walls and expand selected walls by pressing 'E' while having a wall selected and remove any item selected by pressing 'R'.
You can also press the keys 'Q' or 'D' to move left or right in the level editor.

  Little square-man was created by a scientist for the military.
  The purpose of this robot is to overcome obstacles using its
  problem solving skills combined with its motor capabilities.
  It in turns can help the military to pierce through the enemy's front lines
  and win the war.

  To train the robot, the scientist and her team elaborated a series
  of tests called 'levels' in which the robot faces multiple challenges
  and obstacles in order to get to the next test.

  The tests are supposed to increase in difficulty, so much so that
  the robot isn't expected to finish all the tests successfully

  and no one knows what happens if it does...

Install instructions

WINDOWS:

Download the executable and execute it. If windows tells you that it's unsafe, click on the 'more info' button and then click on 'Run anyway'. Then, just follow the installer wizard instructions.

Note: If you have an antivirus software (or windows defender), it can happen that the executable is flagged as containing a virus, trust me, it doesn't, so either deactivate momentarily the antivirus software or make it so that the executable file isn't flagged as such (report a false positive).

The project has been compiled for x64-64bit computers only.


LINUX:

Download the '.deb' file and make sure to open it with the debian application installer that you have on your debian-based distribution. Then just click on the install button.

The .deb file only works for debian-based linux distributions.


If you want to add support for other OS distributions or even add features to the game, don't hesitate to do a push request on my gitlab project.
