Square Worlds

I just found this game and want to thank the developer for making it. I’ve been looking for a game like this forever—a tile placement game that is easy to learn, quick to play during a break, not overly complicated, but just strategic enough to be engaging. And it’s in portrait mode, thank you! The design is also super cool, and I appreciate the fair monetizing with no ads. I immediately paid the extra modes to give support. We need more good developers like this in the App Store. This game is really fun and will be staying on my phone. The developer did everything right here. I highly recommend this game!

I accidentally stumbled on this game, and I am glad I did. I didn’t expect much, but this is now one of my favorite games for when I have a little bit of time to kill. It is easy to start playing, but it has many interesting aspects. I would definitely give this a try.

It’s not very much like other puzzle games I’ve seen. You trace a path around a 5x5 grid, spending money to place tiles that interact with each other to score points (and occasionally placing empty tiles to get more money). The tiles available are queued up, and you can pay more to skip ahead in the queue. The closest comparison is maybe the excellent board game Suburbia, if you sped it way up. Be sure to buy the two extra modes; they each provide a totally different scoring structure that changes the game radically. I’m way too high on the leaderboards; not enough people are playing this game.
