Pretentious Game is a puzzle platformer where the objective is to reunite the blue square with the pink one. While that all sounds fine and dandy, the game gets much more difficult once dangerous obstacles like spikes and cliffs are thrown into the mix. Can you help the blue square reunite with his long lost love? There's a lot more behind this game than meets the eye.

Not for those who...

Why we love it

The minimal graphics are nice and clean, the music is charming, and the controls are simple enough for anyone to understand and pick up. But the real meat of the game is in the challenging puzzles that await players, and there's a hidden meaning behind everything in this game.
