Buto Square 2

Leap, double-jump, and dodge through Buto Square 2's trap-filled levels before the ground crumbles away.

A square hero, a double jump, and a whole lot of spikes—that's the whole pitch. Buto Square 2 doesn't waste your time with cutscenes or lore dumps. You drop into a level, figure out the path, and then die trying to execute it. The controls are exactly what you'd expect: WASD or arrow keys to move, and jump with W or Up. Tap that jump key twice in the air for a double jump, which is your main tool for clearing wide gaps and saving yourself from a bad first hop. I lost count of how many times I overthought a jump and fell straight into a pit because I pressed the second jump too late. That double jump is the heart of the game. It's not a forgiving, floaty double jump either—it's quick and a little snappy, so you have to commit. The levels are compact obstacle courses filled with spikes, moving platforms, and the occasional disappearing block. What I appreciate is that the hitboxes feel exact: if you clip a spike, it's because you messed up, not because the geometry lied to you. The blocky minimal art style helps with that clarity. There's no screen clutter, no particle explosions, just you and the geometry. Some later levels demand near-perfect platforming chains, and completing one of those without touching the ground feels properly earned. If you're looking for a quick platforming fix that won't hold your hand, Buto Square 2 is a good pick. It's the kind of game you open for five minutes, get stuck on a level for ten, and then finally beat it just to prove you can. Not a revolution, just solid jump-and-dodge fun.

Use WASD or Arrow keys for players movement and use W or Up arrow key twice for double jump.

- Master the double jump's second tap—wait until you're at the peak of the first jump for the best height. - If you fall short, use the second jump as a quick air-dash backward to recover. - Don't hold forward while landing on a moving platform; match its speed or you'll slide off. - Keep an eye on the next platform before you jump—many deaths come from landing blind. - Some spikes can be cleared with a single well-timed jump; don't always waste your double jump.
