## What is Skwarz?

We love tile-based mini games and Skwarz offers a variety, each of which is beautifully animated and dynamically rendered in 3D with realistic lighting for fun game play with delightful feedback.

We include our "Words" Mini Game for free (and ad-free) and have two other great mini games available in the initial release: Colors and Poker.

For each mini game, Skwarz has a Daily Challenge, so you can compete against yourself, your friends, or the world, using Game Center.  And, in the default Open Play mode, you can play for hours on end.

Game play is similar in each of our first three mini games, but the difficulty, strategies, and incentives differ, especially in terms of maximizing your time before it runs out and in achieving ultra high scores.  It's a combination of skill and luck and it starts by simply swiping left, right, up, or down.

Mini Games:
- Words - 4-letter or longer words (US English for now)
- Colors - 3 or more of the same color
- Poker - Straight or higher

Each game has special tiles that you'll encounter as you play.  These add obstacles, provide opportunities, and give bonuses.

We hope you love Skwarz!

### 1/5 — Rubbish; no challenge

*2024-04-25*

Review / Skwarz; rename it “watch the puzzle” 

Thur 25 April 2024

1 point / rubbish 

This is not a word puzzle it’s a “watch the game” find words, when you slide a column and row and there’s nothing to do or challenge the player.

Give a chance for players to find and submit their words. 

Don’t know why they’ve made it like this, there’s zero to do.  Deleted.
