Description

Squarehead Hero puts a blocky knight on a grid and removes the attack button entirely. You move one square at a time, and walking into a monster is how you fight it, provided there is a weapon in your hands. Empty hands turn the same step into a block instead.

That single rule makes the inventory the real board. A sword clears the square ahead of you; an empty hand absorbs the hit that was coming anyway. Choosing what to hold before you step is the whole game, and the right answer changes with the monster in front of you.

Nothing moves until you move, and then everything moves at once. Rooms are small enough to read completely before the first step, and the ones that end a run are usually the rooms you walked into while still holding the wrong thing.

Loot accumulates between rooms, and better gear widens what a single step can do rather than simply raising a number. Runs are short and restarts are immediate, so the dungeon punishes very little except haste.
