The Square is a computer based puzzle similar in style to the magic
cube invented by Erno Rubic<1,3> and puzzles related to it<2>. The
cube is a three dimensional object which can be turned in various
ways. The Square is a two dimensional object which can be ‘turned’ in
a similar manner; with The Square, rows or columns of smaller squares
are ‘slid’ up, down, left, or right. Small squares ‘fall off’ of one
end of the row or column and ‘reappear’ at the other end.
In ‘solution’ The Square has four sections of identical smaller
squares; each has nine small squares in a 3×3 configuration. When
scrambled by the program The Square may have any color in any
position. The goal is to return The Square to a solution, where each
set of nine identical colored blocks is together.
The program is self documenting; you can read how to load it in this
manual, load it, and start trying to solve it. However, a review of
the contents of this manual may give a better starting point for
solving The Square and will increase the kinds of enjoyment you can
experience.

Another thing that really makes Square enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to Square. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
