Your worldview as a Square is very narrow; dig, find, fight. You belong to one of the many rival clans which scour the ancient sphere, known as Earth, at the behest of your spherical overlord. Though the Spheres desire knowledge acquired from artifacts that the ancients left behind, you know only battle. For you, each new day is a new trial; a testing of your your ability to dig through the post-apocalyptic Earth, to master the art of wielding rock cannons and uranium powered lasers, to consume a multitude of power-drinks without losing control, and ultimately, to vanquish your rival. Do you have what it takes to rise to the top of your clan?
