FREE Levels Update Coming in 2025!?
There's a few levels with break some of the fundamental rules of the core game (ie the level requires precise timing) but rather that let these sit in a level design purgatory we'll let players enjoy them. Without the worry of a curated and focussed level experience, or any more narrative overhead we're free to just release some of the level design chaos. And for free so if anyone complains that's our excuse. We'll focus on the 2P levels first and the update could be anywhere from 10-50 new levels. The number will depend on how many Ash (Studio Head) can convince Pat (Designer) to be "fine" with. I've already started to wear him down!! hahah (Ash is writing this) These will be added as a new Vault section with a BETA label. As the levels will not have the same level of external playtesting we did back in 2017. By giving these away for free YOU are the BETA testers! ~Excellent~
It's also an experiment to see what doing an update like this does to the long tail sales. Is there interest in a Death Squared 2? This is a better way for us to gauge this than starting a totally new project.

We're doing a free levels update soon (in the next few weeks)!
Which is good timing as the Box-Pushing sale has resulted in our best Steam sales days by a huge margin! It's 88% off now! Which is so cheap it makes my eyes water.
Also if you JUST bought the game we'd love a review also!
During development back in 2017 we had a lot of levels that were left on the cutting room floor. Some of these were "too hard" or "too small" or "potential softlocks" or "WTF" or just "too similar to what we already had" and thus languished in a file for no one ever to see. Even 4 of these were just released as Switch only levels.
But now in 2025 we've found a small slither of free time and had fresh eyes look at these levels and looking to re-release them for free.
Why Free?

Why update a 8 year old game?

If you're reading this you might be on the fence as to whether to buy the game with your hard earned $
I dont think anything you read here will push you over the edge. Check the reviews online, watch some videos you'll see we have a solid rep.
If you like puzzle games then take the plunge. If you dont like you can always refund!
If you have a partner/friend/relative/child you can also play with them and have a great time.
⚠⚠⚠ Play online with friends using STeam's Remote Play Together! ⚠⚠⚠
But the game is great solo. You just use both sides of your brain at once!
OK back to the usual description.
Death Squared is a cooperative puzzle game for 1, 2 or 4 players, best enjoyed with loved ones who don't mind a little arguing for the greater good.
Prove your teamwork skills in Death Squared as you solve puzzles together or die trying! Each player needs to guide a robot to a colour-coded goal, but the path is beset with deadly traps and hazards. Teams of players will need close observation and communication to keep each other alive and discover a solution together.
Complete the main campaign with one or two players, then take a group into four-player Party Mode for the ultimate teamwork trial! For those that can't get enough, head to the 'Vault' to find extra experiments recommended only for the brave.
