Happy Pixel Day! This is the first year I have something to contribute!


Join The Squat is a 2D Precision/Action Platformer I've been working on with my friend in our spare time and we've finally put together enough content to warrant a demo.


With the focus on precision there's definitely a learning curve to picking up the game especially for people who are unfamiliar with platformers, but I hope the people who enjoy this kind of thing can get their fix.


-------EXPERIMENTAL CONTROLS-------

NOTE: These controls are mostly used for testing the game and are not polished for general use.


PRACTICE MODE: pressing [H] during a level will allow you to save anywhere but the game will not save your stats

keep in mind that it is INCREDIBLY easy to soft lock yourself using this feature and should only be used if you are short for time.


DELETE SAVE: holding down [DELETE] and [END] in the level select will reset your save, you may have to press it a few times to get it to stick, afterwards refreshing the screen should reset your save.

this is really good. why does the boss get a crown:(

after so long I finally achieved the highest point on the leader board,

for deaths...

I give this game a 3 star because the jumping mechanic has to much gravity so climbing the beginner mountain is too difficult but I do like the backround sound and art used (also to fix the gravity in unity go to rigidbody on your player and lower the gravity number/value)

I really Like the game but I was wondering if you could make the jumping a bit longer because it took me almost 100 times to get up to the cliff in the first level. over all I really like the game and its graphics. ok that's it have a great day to whoever is reading this.

this game is very good. i love it. but jesus fucking christ, i absolutely hateeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the spikes.
well im #1 on the leaderboard now for deaths. this game is so fucking difficult
