Playtime: 8.9 hrs A pretty straight forward puzzle game just like the other ones made by the dev. Very relaxing and not too hard so overall fun game.

This game was not what I was expecting it to be (I hoped it would be more nonogramy), but it is still a pretty nice and enjoyable puzzle game.

SquareCells SquareCells is a logic puzzle game that feels like a strange mix between Hexcells, minesweeper, pictocross and sudoku, if you like any of those games then you will probably enjoy this. I don't enjoy this as much as I enjoy Matthew's previous game Hexcells, as there I felt I never had to guess to be able to solve a puzzle, where here I constantly got stuck on the later levels not being able to find the logic. I recognise this is more than likely a skill issue as I was able to follow the earlier levels quite well and really enjoyed them. Gameplay The gameplay is very reminiscent of Pictocross where you follow number markings to determine which boxes you mark and which you don't, it introduces the hexcells style of puzzle logic by adding different ways to know what belongs in what row or column, or a certain area within the puzzle. The first half of the puzzles were well-designed and very easily deducible with logic but I felt the logic in the later levels is a lot more difficult and I ended up getting stuck for a long time. Achievements (7/7) The achievements are for completing every level without making a mistake. Music/sound The music and sound effects are really satisfying giving a lot of audible feedback when moving the mouse and selecting cells. Settings/Accessibility/Misc 3 Separate save files. Light and dark mode available. Option to invert the click buttons. Tells you how many remaining clicks and number of mistakes (very casual, mistakes don't end the game). Only English supported.

SquareCells is actually not much more than your typical picross game, with some Minesweeper-feelings. Thus I feel that, while enjoyable, this game isn't as unique as the developer's earlier puzzle games. I hope this doesn't become a trend with future titles. Still recommend it though, esp. if you enjoy picross!

Really nice puzzle game with some good ideas that are well expanded upon in hexcells. It's like turbo minesweeper with 5 different sources of information, I personally had a lot of fun playing it, would recommend
