Paint squares and make matches! A simple new puzzle game that will make your brain happy! ■ HOW TO PLAY ■ To play, paint colorful tiles on the board by dragging. Connect any three or more squares of the same color and make a match. It's simple in premise, but as you pull the thread, it becomes something entirely unexpected. In some levels, tiles move like clockwork requiring precision and planning, while others feature tiles twice as big, which can turn a dire situation into your biggest match. And with the new wild tile, you can make exceptional combos never before possible in the original. ■ FEATURES ■ Since the original Squares, we've completely redesigned the experience from the ground up: ■ Simple brain busting gameplay ■ Complete 50 levels designed to take your brain to the limit ■ Compete in the classic endless mode from the original ■ Colorblind mode so every eyeball can enjoy ■ Awe-inspiring design. There's never been a puzzle game that looked this slick. ■ ABOUT SQUARES ■ We set out to create a simple puzzle game that would be new, modern, fun, and inspiring. Squares² is the culmination of that goal. We started with the innovative gameplay we released in 2016's Squares and we crafted a unique and exciting experience centered around that simple idea. From the four sided brains at Simple Machine. Creators of Pop the Lock, Calculator: The Game, and of course, the original Squares.

Good but the high score doesn’t work
03/03/2019

I love this game—it’s therapeutic and fun and I play it a lotBut the high score system in endless mode seems to be broken. I got a score of 1300 something and then I got a score of 800 something. The 800 score overrode the 1300 score. Whenever I reopen the app, the high score resets to 0.Also I would like to be able to resume game in endless mode where I left off after I restart the app, instead of having it give me a new blank board.

Great game, unless you’re Colorblind!

Red/Green colorblind UI/UX designer here: Played a few rounds of endless and was really enjoying the game. Struggled a little with the light green and yellow tiles but only made a few mistakes. Once there we’re multiple red/greenish tiles I wasn’t able to actually tell them apart at all and lost immediately. The game becomes unplayable. Checked setting and found a colorblind mode which was uglier and actually harder to use for my type of colorblindness (blues and purples together) UI designers: there are multiple types of colorblindess and while the super minimal style is really pretty, this game needs a signifier other than only color (pattern, icon, letter) to be accessible for some of us. Super stoked to play this game again once I’ll actually be able to tell the tiles apart!

Level 47 unbeatable

Have been on level 47 for 3 months - completely unbeatable. Have used every powerful possible, and every time I use a power up, the box showing “no more moves, watch ad?” Will not leave screen making accurate gameplay impossible . Stupid ploy to get Views on ads without proper incentive . Do better, developers .UPDATE: in order to get the “update” they keep replying to everyone to get in order to fix the bugs of unbeatable games and popups that won’t go away, you must DELETE the game and all of your previous data and start over. And now they make you play like 10 endless levels in order to go on to the levels. Absolutely ridiculous. This game is trash & so are the people that made it

I don’t the sound/music that continuously plays on games. This one, I couldn’t shut it up because there’s no setting option to turn off the sound/music. What made me delete it is its stupid “logic”: 1 move left; 3 colors; 2 squares & 1 rectangle open, and it wouldn’t let me make the move that would ultimately beat the level. It was restart level or restart level. Annoying. I even took a screenshot of how I’d’ve beat the level if only I’d been allowed... Anyway, if these things get fixed, I’ll give it another go; otherwise, I’m good.
