- The object of Squarez is to form 3 x 3
- squares out of groups of tiles. There
- is a time limit for each group of tiles,
- and if time runs out and a group of
- tiles is trapped in the holding area,
- the game is over. There are many special
- tiles that can help or hinder progress.
- These special tiles are activated by
- making them part of a square. The higher
- the level, the less time you will have
- to put your pieces down. The tiles and
- scores are described on the next page.
- In addition to points from tiles, one
- point is awarded for every piece placed
- and ten points are awarded for every
- square created. There is a bonus for
- completing more than one square at once.
-
- A VGA or MCGA video card is required
