Square Away

Read full description

Can you make the perfect shape? Square Away is a deceptively simple puzzle game that will test your eye for geometry. You're given a wonky, irregular polygon. Your job is to drag its corners until every side is equal and every angle is perfect. Sounds easy? Try it. HOW TO PLAY Drag any corner of the shape anywhere on screen. When you're happy, submit your attempt and see how close you got to perfection. THE JOURNEY Start with a humble triangle, then work your way up: Triangle (3 sides), Square (4 sides), Pentagon (5 sides), Hexagon (6 sides), Heptagon (7 sides), Octagon (8 sides). Each new shape brings a fresh challenge. More corners means more to manage, but also more satisfaction when everything clicks into place. FEATURES - Scoring based on side equality and angle accuracy - Smooth, responsive drag controls - Clean, minimal design that lets you focus - Satisfying visual feedback as you approach perfection - No timers, no pressure, just you and the shape WHO'S IT FOR? Perfect for geometry lovers, puzzle enthusiasts, or anyone who finds satisfaction in getting things just right. Play for 30 seconds while waiting for the kettle, or lose an hour chasing that 100% score. Square Away. Get your shapes in order.
