Latest Steam announcements

  • Square of Joy v. 1.35 – QoL - 3 February 2025

    Howdy! This update introduces two Quality of Life features: Run Timer: handy if you wanna speedrun. It pauses when you’re in the menus. Offline Score: your best height/time is displayed instead of leaderboard when playing offline. Btw. I just released Square of Joy on itch.io. It might be slightly cheaper there, but it doesn’t have those cool Steam-exclusive online features (Global Leaderboard, Friends, Shareable Achievements). Until next time, Marcin (Tinek) Michalski

  • Square of Joy v. 1.3 – The Fish! - 20 December 2024

    Howdy! This update features new skin - the Fish! Currently it’s the most difficult one to obtain so… good luck with those secrets. Speaking of secrets, I also added a hidden (real) ending. Hope you’ll like it (if you ever find it). Lastly, among some small fixes, added a new musical piece to the win screen to sweeten the taste of victory. Although for those, who enjoy music more than climbing, I’m planning to wrap up the full soundtrack and put it on YouTube (soon). Until next time, Marcin (Tinek) Michalski

  • Square of Joy v. 1.15 – Completion Meter - 29 November 2024

    Howdy! This update introduces COMPLETION METER - so you can easily check what % of the game you didn’t discover yet. You can find it in the main menu, just below the title. I also worked on making the game playable in offline mode. Technically it works already, but you cannot unlock achievements and an empty leaderboard is displayed. So still working on that… and more. Oh, and there are now in-game links to Discord and my socials (for those who wonder who the heck made this game). Until next time, Marcin (Tinek) Michalski

  • Square of Joy v. 1.1 – Progress - 17 October 2024

    Hey there climbers! Welcome to version 1.1 With this update I added a save system. All your accomplishments and scores were being saved on steam already, but now the game also saves your position on the level, so you don’t have to start over after restarting the game, and only then. So if you thought it would make it easier, it won’t. I also added a new reward for completing secret challenges: a joyful trail effect that stretches behind you. Hope you'll like it. Until next time! Marcin (Tinek) Michalski

  • Square of Joy v 1.01 - Challenge the rock! - 28 September 2024

    Hello there tenacious people, In this update, I added unique challenge, featuring innocent piles of rocks scattered here and there. Can you discover their secret? Cheers, Tinek Btw. I know about this lag on music change - working on it ;)

  • Square of Joy - is out today! - 25 September 2024

    Hello there good people, Without further ado: THE GAME IS FINALLY OUT! I hope it will bring you (among full spectrum of emotions) joy. Just so you know, I will continue to improve it. There are still several things i want to add, so stay tuned. And meanwhile, why don't you join the DISCORD (or steam community hub) and share your thoughts? Cheers, Marcin (Tinek) Michalski

  • Square of Joy 0.8 - Master Race - 18 September 2024

    Hey there! No time for chit-chat, let’s dive right into patch notes! What’s new? Added achievements: not your typical ‘just play the game and get all of them’, you're gonna need to use some brain (and finger) power. Added golden ‘master race’ skin to unlock. Trust me: game feels easier when you have it on. What’s next? More skins, ultimate secret, extra stone challenge (what?)...soon. Cheers! Marcin (Tinek) Michalski

  • SoJ v. 0.7 – Steam Deck and Discord - 14 September 2024

    News: Hey there beautiful people. First thing I wanna share is that ‘Square of Joy’ has passed the steam review, so the release date (October 25, 2024) is secured. I also launched a Discord server. It’s the easiest way to contact me, share your thoughts and also stay up to date with news and updates. Patch Notes: Steam Deck (sup)port. Valve made it really easy and it works buttery smooth. Dynamic keybinding display, so you always see the controls of a connected input device, be it keyboard/gamepad/steamdeck. Second key binding scheme for keyboard (based on feedback). Polished the game ending. Finalized level design of all secrets. What’s next? Custom skins (and never ending enviro polish). See you soon! Marcin (Tinek) Michalski

  • Square of Joy v. 0.6 – added controller support - 1 September 2024

    Update 0.6 - Patch Notes Hey there beautiful people. All is going as planned. In this update I added: Sound Settings: master, effects and music volumes. Controller Support: it works automatically, switches between devices on input. In settings you can check recommended keybinds, but other buttons work as well so… experiment :) Btw. when playing on keyboard, you can use arrows instead of WSAD now. What’s next? Currently polishing what I have for the steam build review, and after that I would like to add custom character skins. See you soon! Marcin (Tinek) Michalski

  • Steam page is up, alpha (v0.5) is ready - dev diary - 7 August 2024

    Where am I now? Hey! So the store page is live, my game is ‘coming soon’ - achievement unlocked, milestone reached. Speaking of those, version 0.5 in my measure means that the project has entered alpha state: all core mechanics are in and the game works as a whole. Main level and all the secrets are designed and built, but some of them aren’t pretty yet. Music is done, but some sounds are missing, and so on.. Is it gonna be like that? Currently I’m working on settings. In the near future I would like to add controller support. Also slowly but surely replacing art placeholders with actual graphics. That’s all for now. See you in the next update! Marcin (Tinek) Michalski

Short description

Climb up, reach the top, using nothing but your skill and will. Compete with steam friends and players from all over the world. Discover secrets along the way.

About this game

Square of Joy is a challenging (but fair) climbing game. Controls are very simple; you can rotate and push yourself using one of (or all) 4 limbs, just like a regular human. But also just like in real life, there is Newtonian physics acting against you. With a little practice though, you will learn to use it to your advantage, to gain momentum and maintain the satisfying flow. Climb up, reach the top, using nothing but your skill and will. Compete with Steam friends and players from all over the world. Discover secrets along the way. “We choose to (...) do the (...) things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard” John F. Kennedy “If you’re tired of starting over, stop giving up” Shia LaBeouf "Why do I climb the mountain? (...) Because I'm in Love" William Shatner

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Oct 6, 2026 to Oct 6, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $6.99
  • Highest observed: $6.99

Square of Joy's USD price history spans from Oct 6, 2026 to Oct 6, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $6.99, the highest is $6.99, and the first visible tracked price is $6.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Square of Joy's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $6.99, from Oct 6, 2026 through Oct 6, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $6.99. The latest run records $6.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $6.99
  • Current list price: $6.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Square of Joy at $6.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
