Fair and Square is one of literally thousands of retro 2D platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere... and I'm not kidding. Searching for "platformers" on the Steam store page yields over 17,000 results! Is this one of the best of those? Absolutely not. Carrying some of the laziest visuals I've seen from an amateur game in literally hours (yes, so many of them look so bad, and this is no exception), we have a contentless bullet hell platformer roguelike. The story revolves around surviving relentless enemy waves and challenging bosses. You must navigate square-based arenas and upgrade your skills in a shop to customize your playstyle. Gameplay involves adapting to increasingly difficult enemy waves and strategic skill upgrades. None of this is a good idea, and none of it was implemented even remotely competently. Considering this came out in 2025 alongside games like Expedition 33 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, it's easy to see why this was a complete and utter failure. Platforming is an old, mostly dead genre, and this lacklustre experience, while it doesn't have an upfront cost, isn't saving the genre... it's no surprise this failed to capture any attention from gamers in the era of immersive 3D gaming. So this looks like an old 1990's Adobe Flash game that you might play in a web browser, and the problem there is obviously Steam wasn't intended to try compete with Chrome and Firefox. If it can be done in a web browser, it's not even close to a cutting edge PC gaming experience. That's a problem. This features really godawful pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks much worse than most other games because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. The developer chose not to do the job of a real game developer and create meaningful bespoke levels, narrative based gameplay progression and so on. Instead, they decided that "Procgen IS content!" and lazily tried to use procgen algorithms to create infinite, samey, repetitive, soulless levels, because that's a lot less work. As a result of this poor decision, the game gets tired and repetitive almost immediately. Developers must learn that procgen is a terrible substitute for creating real content. It should not be used as "ez-mode" for content creation, as the developer tried to do here. On pricing, this is "free" enough, at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good, and the cost of a game is more than just financial, your time is valuable too. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 6 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. There's no financial cost up-front, but you'd still be spending your time and a little hard drive space on a product that's far from the best. There's thousands of better alternatives on Steam.
dang! im surprised this barely has any plays. people need to play this its really well done! I hope multiplayer is added in the future so i can play with my friends! this is really awesome! :)
Gostei muito do jogo, é bem intuitivo. O design dos inimigos é bem bonito. Fiz várias combinações diferentes e me diverti em todas. Jogao, recomendo 10/10
Fair and Square, jogo [b]Brasileiro[/b] desenvolvido e publicado pela Canis Minor, é um roguelike com elementos de plataforma e bullet hell viciante, que se desenrola em ondas de inimigos até o chefe aparecer, e até o momento possui dois modos de jogo, sendo eles 'normal' e 'caos', ambos com suas diferenças de jogabilidade e ritmo. Confesso que não esperava nada desse game quando iniciei, mas, me surpreendi, de uma forma boa pelo produto apresentado. Acompanhei por um período seu desenvolvimento no canal do seu criador, mas depois não tive mais notícias a respeito. Apesar de não estar finalizado, a versão atual se encontra jogável de forma que você vai conseguir concluir tranquilamente sem muitos problemas ou bugs. Não se esqueça de deixar seu feedback para os desenvolvedores quando jogar, isso ajuda muito para eles aprimorarem ainda mais a experiência! [b]8/10[/b]
