Squarez Deluxea puzzle game using block shapes. This ain’t your ordinary Tetris clone! Maneuver your block pieces to form squarez while dealing with hazardous chemicals, devastator bombs, and missiles! Race the clock or if you have an external keyboard play against an opponent head-to-head!



Download the FULL GAME here (it’s included in the file with Jetpack).

Game Executable: SQUAREZ.EXE

Settings:
cpu cycles 500
render frameskip 0
sdl autolock false
sdl mapperfile /usr/share/dosbox/mappercsa.txt

Note: Increase cpu cycles to speed up the game and make it harder, or decrease cpu cycles to slow down the game and make it easier.

Controls:
Ctrl - rotate the piece
Alt - place the piece
Arrow keys – move the piece
Esc - give up
F1 - pause (and screensaver)

Other Comments:
If you have an external keyboard, there is also a 2-player mode if you want to challenge a friend to a game. Read the MANUAL.TXT file in the Squarez directory for the key layouts for each player. The MANUAL.TXT file also has good hints on how to play and win the game.

Positives: I find this game more fun than Tetris since there’s more options to think about as you’re moving and rotating the blocks. Plus the full game is FREE!!
Negative: The graphics look a little dated.

DosBox Issues: None!
Overall game rating: 4.25 stars out of 5
