Square Meal is an action-multiplayer game released in July 2007. The player controls a troll trapped in a maze-styled dungeon whose goal is to eat (swallow) all present enemies after knocking them out with blocks. The game was planned a sequel, but due to other work at Nitrome the sequel was put on hold and never worked on again. It is not known if the sequel may even be released.

GameplayEdit

Square Meal plays like several other "elimination" type games made by Nitrome, where the player is left with the task of killing all enemies on the stage. This is how it is done in Square Meal, all enemies have to be killed. Since the player is an armless Troll, they are unable to hold weapons. Instead, with the giant mouth, they have to pick up blocks in the mouth and toss them at enemies. If it hits an enemy, it will knock them unconscious for a brief time. During this time, the player can go and eat them, killing them in the process as well as gaining points. Different types of enemies and blocks are encountered throughout the game.

LevelsEdit

The Moon Apple Logo Incomplete section

This section is incomplete. You can help by adding the missing info.

In each level of Square Meal, the player's character, a Green Troll, has to clear the level of all enemies. To kill an enemy, the Troll has to eat a block, then spit it out at an enemy. The block - if it reaches the enemy - will knock the enemy unconscious for a short period of time. While the enemy is unconscious, the troll can go up and eat it, eliminating the enemy.

Interactive ObjectsEdit

  • Food - Gives the player 100 points when eaten. It also acts as an obstacle, preventing the troll from passing through it. If two players eat it at the same time, each player gets 50 points.

BlocksEdit

The troll can swallow most blocks and spit them out to knock out enemies, although each have different effects.

  • Turquoise stone - This stone forms the dungeon wall and is present in every level. It can't be eaten.
  • Stone Block - This stone can be shot at enemies and will knock them unconscious upon impact; the block however will keep travelling until it hits the wall or another block.
  • Wooden Blocks - This block shatters upon impact with an enemy, another block, or the wall.
  • Metal Block - The Block will decrease in speed once shot.
    Metal Box
    Metal Block
  • Rubber Block - This Block will rebound off other block, and knock unconscious enemies, but will kill the Troll on contact.
  • Bomb Block - This Block will detonate in the Troll's mouth in 10 seconds. It will kill an enemy if it is caught in the explosion.

EnemiesEdit

Enemies in Square Meal must be eaten by the troll once unconscious in order to pass the level.

  • Mud Fountain - These walking enemies are almost completely covered in mud. They grant 100 points upon being eaten.
  • Troll Skeleton - These enemies walk around the level, and will charge at the Troll on sight. The player obtains 100 points upon devouring them
  • Shell Enemy - These enemies will walk short distances before bringing their shell down. They are protected from all attacks when their shell is down.
  • Green Finned Creature - These Enemies have the ability to fly over blocks as well as follow the player in the direction they are going in. They cannot be hurt while flying.

HazardsEdit

  • Spikes - Spikes will kill the Troll on contact, but not harm, enemies.
  • Slippery Floor - Slippery Floor will slide the player at a low speed in the direction of the slippery floor.
  • Moving Spikes - These spikes will move up and down out of the floor.
  • Stepping Spikes - The Spikes will go up when the player stands on them.

GalleryEdit

GlitchesEdit

  • It is possible to walk through a wall by standing next to it, pressing the direction away from it, and quickly(before the step is complete)pressing the direction toward the it. The wall may then be walked out of onto any empty adjacent space. This can be done twice in a row, which can trap the player.
  • Sometimes when the Bomb Block explodes and the Troll is caught in the blast , the Troll may sometimes become invisible instead of being killed. When the Troll is invisible, he can do all the usual things he would be able to do while visible, but if it touches a monster, it will die.

TriviaEdit

  • On level 44, the Stone Blocks spell the word "Nitrome", just as one level in Bad Ice-Cream.
  • Bad Ice-Cream, released 3 years later, has a similar gameplay and enemies from Square Meal.
