Death Squared – Who’s up for some colour coded carnage? 

SMG studio announced yesterday a brand new a cooperative puzzler called Death Squared that follows a team of robots escaping a treacherous science facility, will test friendships and problem-solving skills when it releases for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Mac on 14 March 2017.

The PlayStation 4 version will feature online multiplayer via Share Play!

Players will be guiding teams of two or four robots to their respective color-coded waypoints at increasingly complex levels. It’s not an easy task, however – Insidious death traps litter the way and, when tripped by hasty sprinters or uncommunicative friends, quickly send the cuboid companions to the big scrapyard in the sky.

 

If one robot meets their death, the entire squad returns to the beginning of the level. Players must work together to learn each stage through trial and error, putting the newly-gained knowledge of a level’s hidden obstacles into action.

 

“Death Squared began as a simple cooperative concept focused on minimal direction and having players answer a simple question; What do we do?” said Patrick Cook, lead designer, SMG Studio. “It’s been a pleasure building that idea into a game that can be enjoyed by individuals, groups, and people of all ages and skill levels. The response from fans has been wonderful and we’re eager to finally let people play it at home.”
