GPSquares (Puzzle) by Akuma No Houkon If you have ever done any travelling in the back of a car as a kid, chances are you would have already played this game with a friend on a piece of paper in order to pass the time. In order to play, a page of dots would be drawn and each person would take turns to draw a line connecting two dots- the one with the most squares in possession at the end will be the winner. GPSquares is the re-creation of this childhood classic on your GP32. Brought to you from puzzle creator Akuma No Houkon who was behind Electronia this is another example of a simple yet addictive game that can be played in short bursts of time. GPSquares is exactly the same as the paper original except this time you play the computer. From the beginning menu, you can choose small, medium and large boards to choose from. Visually, the game has a simple but stylish look with a black background and the grid is grey with white making up the dots. The computer uses red lines to make up squares while the player has blue. When a square has been created, it is then filled in with the colour of the player. There isn't any sound to speak of but in a game of this nature it doesn't really need any. As the game differs slightly each time, you can play again and again without the same pattern and still get a different outcome. This gives it plenty of replay value and will keep you coming back whenever you want something quick to play on the move. A game that deserves a spot on your GP32.
