Pushy Squares is a board game supporting 2-4 players. You can also play against the smart AI's! The rules are simple, but can you figure out a winning strategy?

Here is how to play:

### 5/5 — Amazing

Honestly, the best game ever!

### 5/5 — I LOVE IT

*2017-11-08*

This game is the definition of a breakthrough in the gaming industry as we know it!!!!!

### 5/5 — Honestly amazing!

*2017-11-08, version 1.1*

The game is a simple, yet well executed concept of a mobile game. It is not to hard, so that it leaves out children and people who just want to waste some time, but it’s also not too easy, so that it still gives a sense of achievement when you beat “this darn robot that keeps beating me!”. It has a very nice colour scheme which is soft to your eyes and don’t tire you as you play. One thing I would change is the restart and reset buttons which show up on the board when you tap. I think there is a lot of unused space around the play area which the buttons could fit in quite well.
Otherwise; great game, great idea, great execution.

### 5/5 — Sick game

*2017-11-03, version 1.0*

Everyone's addicted

### 5/5 — Fresh and inspiring

*2017-10-15, version 0.1*

Quite fun
