About this gameFull description from Steam
Triangle blushed, looking away as sheepishly as she could given that she was a just a primitive vector shape. Square advanced on Triangle, gently rubbing her corners. His touch was as soft as a sphere's surface. Triangle had never experienced such a thing. It was a feeling out of her 2D reality. Game Features Crisp 2D vector graphics Hectic four-button gameplay Difficulty that ramps up as you get to a higher score Import custom sprites and music Compete in the leaderboards globally or against your friends 124 Steam achievements to earn
