    Had me trying levels again and again to beat my time. The levels were original and tested my twitch reflexes to the max. The fact that it uses the back touch pad to pinch was surprisingly good! (Never had to pinch in a game). In short -- challenging, addictive and elegant!

    Lazy development at its finest. Slap a bunch of squares on the screen and throw on a timer it and ask us to beat in under a second. literally just a big qte. an absolute horrible game that deserves not a cent of you hard earned money. skip this crap and move onto literally any other game

    I love this game! So simple yet so rewarding. Finally a game that uses the rear touch pad and accelerometer for something. Trying to beat the world ranking is seriously addictive and I’ve created a bunch of cool levels with the level editor. I think Squares is a really good fit for my Vita and it’s only $4.99 :)

    Be prepared! Squares is an adictive game that will challenge you on every single level. One fun thing that I loved is that it uses the rear touch pad for some moves. Give it a try!

    Great game, low price. Addictive and challenging. Nice work by the fellows of LEAP and so proud that they are from Perú (my country). Can't wait for their next game!

    Truth be told, game is quite simple. But damn, beating the game with the highest scores is so freaking hard! And you got a level editor. Come on, you can't really complain. It's a must buy considering it's not even five bucks.

    I love and hate this game at the same time!!!! :P The concept is quit simple but the challenge is so tough that my fingers end up moving a lot faster that i though they would.

    Don't get fooled by looks!!!!! What looks like a simple puzzle game is in fact an addictive, fun and super entering twitch based game that has become one of the most fun experiences I have ever had in a vita game .

    AAAAHHH, THIS **** GAME IS SO FRUSTRATING BUT FUN TO PLAY.

    I would describe it as a 2D minimalistic Dark Souls.

    10/10, would try to kill myself again.

    Many games have the potential to keep you busy some hours, Squares is one of them. Simple and addictive. Each level was made to be challenging. Squares is a good reason to use again my PSV.

    This game is so simple, but yet so fun i can't even stop playing it. The campaign is quite easy to beat, took me about a hour, but the real challenge is to beat every level with 3 squariness. 10/10 would throw my vita to the wall again.

    This a simple looking yet deceptively complex game. You might think at first that it is just about tapping a bunch of squares on your screen like a mobile mini-game, but you'd be wrong, so wrong.
    Soon enough the game gets more and more interesting with new mechanics like moving your PSVita around, sliding multiple fingers and tapping the rear touch pad at a very fast pace.

    Your reflexes will be tested and you will lose a lot, but the gameplay is so engaging that I found myself retrying a level as many times as needed to move onto the next one only to find new ways to test my fingers waiting for me.
    At only 5$ it's definitely worth its price.    … Expand

    Squares is very accessible game but very hard to master it. It's very addictive and can be played in any moment. The cool thing is the combination of the different ps vita features like the rear touch pad and the accelerometer. You can even build your own crazy levels!

    So hard that it's just stupid. No fun at all and i remember really hard games from the ZX Spectrum era.

    Although it's far from an unforgettable game, it works great to kill some time every now and then. It's a mobile concept, but it fits on PS Vita too.

    Really, though, it’s a fun little game with wide appeal and a low price.

    Easy to play, hard to master. Squares is a very simple game but a fun experience. A challenging mini-game that proves your reflexes, memory and reaction capacity; good and fun game for short moments.
