Rotate the base, catch the blocks, and make squares! An addictive puzzle game with easy controls! * How to play Tap the left and right sides of the screen to rotate the center base. Catch the falling blocks from above to build a rectangle. * Rules When you make a square, the blocks are wiped out and you advance to the next level! The game is over when the blocks accumulate to the top without making a square. If you can make a square with no gaps, it is a super square and you get a high score. * Skins Various skins can be set on the center marker. Use your favorite skins to boost your mood. Skins can be obtained using the coins you receive when you level up. * Modes There are 4 modes: Easy, Normal, Hard, and King. The higher the mode, the faster the blocks fall. Once you get the hang of the game in Easy mode, try the higher difficulty levels. * Ranking Players from all over the world can participate in the ranking. Aim for the top of the world ranking by mastering the mode you are good at!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Super Square at Free against PuzzleManiak's $0.99. Super Square also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). PuzzleManiak's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
