okay, this is cute and well done. you made a lot of choices that, in a longer game, would wear out their welcome but in something this brief instead add to the charm. excellent work.
Been doing some testing and finding it easier to hit 2:38 and 2:39 every time. I may be able to find a 1 second time save somewhere in here. Gotta test a few more things.
New findings there should be a way to get 2:37. The issue is by doing the upgrade it opens many more upgrades separating the $5,000 money increase and then the $0 money increase you receive after, so the time save is negated by scrolling. If the scrolling can be perfected or a way to make more text boxes appear on a touch screen, would have to find a way to play with vertical dimensions on a tablet, which I think I may be able to find a way to do, then a 2:37 is likely to be achievable. Gonna start looking at window setups to optimize the upgrade display.
Bribery, blackmail, pyramid schemes, mistreatment of workers... and yet, up until the whole apocalypse thing, I still woulda voted for this guy over any of the democan/republicrat candidates who have run for president during my lifetime. Vote spinning cube party!
Ever wondered what it'd be like to give up the Cookie Clicking business and push a square in your living room for money? How about the feeling of a dance party as people push a square for you while you take over the world? Well, if the answer to either of those was yes, you've come to the right place!
Push The Square is a semi-idle game where you start off as a lonely square pusher and businessperson and slowly build up your money and prestige by going to work and investing your money in pushing a square. Why? We don't know either, but as you push the square more and more, people will become interested in you as a person and allow you to unlock things like a party, becoming the president, and a rug for your house (finally).
(A third paragraph is usually added here to talk about bugs/glitches/dislikes, but this was just an honest idle game that you can beat pretty quickly)
All in all, this game was a great example of an idle/clicker game not needing to be overly expansive in order to be fun or entertaining. With a run time of about 10 minutes (some people have beaten it under 5), you'll get a good laugh out of pushing a square :)
Bruh. This actually. This actually has the material and shit to be a full on steam/Xbox game. Or even a full fledge speed run material run. This is good. But I need more. But for real. This could be expanded to a 3D or bigger 2D with Prestiging

how the hell do you download it on mac i even made it a .app file
wat?
Hey, I'm sorry for this, but I'm unable to fix it :(
Hopefully the web version works for you
Yes. The web version works. I suggest you make a clone of this except its infinite.
Oh my god. It was a cube this whole time???
What other secrets is the cube hiding from us...
its wild this got ported out of flash
Definitely seems like it x)
Really cute! I loved it!
Thank you very much!
Haven’t worked once, was a fun challenge!
That’s an original way to play it :)
I would love a second game like this but with a cube instead since at the end you can clearly see the square wasn't a square but a cube.
or it turned into a cube, wait did the square make the 3d universe?!?!?!
-starts absolutely freaking out-
The powers of the cube are still unknown...
Great, simple but effective. I liked the comments on the cards, definitly made upgrading more interesting.
Glad you liked it!
I love the ending.
Happy to hear that :)

Thank you for the kind words!
8 minutes 40 seconds... good idle game
Thank you very much!

The cube has too much power

Glad to hear you are still up to the challenge ;)

That's a great find, hope the game doesn't break! x)

The guy really knows what the people want!

Thank you!
thr thing I Don't know is the fact that it is so short. Is it the worst part, or the best part
Or both at the same time
will work on improvements.

Your welcome.
I liked the option to skip the negative stuff in favor of a positive work environment. Only the best for my stick people!
The square finds this strategy acceptable!

They told me, "Be there or be Square."
I made my choice.
