    A fun puzzle game. Move, rotate and try to catch falling blocks to make squares.



    Features:

    - Move your blocks around to catch the falling block
    - Rotate you blocks, and find the best strategic place to land the falling one
    - Arrange blocks in squares around the center
    - Earn big points for creating multiple squares at once
    - Are your blocks getting messy? Use the bomb to get rid of problematic ones
    - Don't like the next block due to drop? Swap it and hope for something better!
    - Simple to learn and enjoy anywhere, and enough of a challenge to gently train your brain

    Please let know know if you would like a TestFlight invite to play the BETA

    Thank you!

    Have already tried with this game. Totally love the video that you make there. And the idea based on the classic gameplay is really creative. But the thing is that when new players come in to the game(without the trailer), they are more likely to seek the classic gameplay which is make the entire row/line the same color and wait for them to be "matched", but clearly it doesn't work with this game. So a tutorial is very important for beginners who don't watch the trailer which could be the majority of new players of this game. Besides, there is no restart button, I personally think that the mode for the background color is less necessary than a restart button. There are three controls that players can choose, I personally like "Buttons" the most. But sometimes the rotate button doesn't work. For the "Taps"mode, it's not that fluent as well since sometimes I'd like to click to go down but the squares just don't listen to me... And what are the bombs for?

    Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback :)

    I will look into the few niggles you identified here and there.

    I decided to omit a tutorial at this stage in order to see how people get on without one. As you have pointed out though, it may be necessary.

    As for the bombs, they allow you to destroy any 3x3 area. This could be to free up some space, or to "edit" falling blocks to a more desirable shape...

    Hope that helps :)

    Remember the game
    U played all the time
    It had falling blocks
    And u had to make a line

    U played in the morning
    U played at night
    U beat your highscore
    Now that was a sight

    But Make Squares is coming
    With a new way to play
    Out 4th June
