The Paper Square

Overcome obstacles. Succeed through failure.

Join forces with the paper square to overcome your obstacles by... dying? In this game, dying leaves behind a tangible corpse that can serve as a platform.  Intentionally dying could mean being able to reach that platform, but it could also mean blocking the path to future progress.

Made for the Wowie! Jam 3.0 with the theme 'Failure is Progress'.
