The Squares: Kyles Quest v1.2 Review
By TheMordeus on 21 June 2007


Pros: Gfx style is cute, good feel to it, pretty solid gameplay

Cons: Music is a bit annoying, the introduction isnt very good, "requires" firefox

A cute game that has its flaws

I want to start by saying that this is a good game and its well worth trying out. The graphical style is rather cute, if perhaps a bit boring. It doesnt really have a personality and some of the objects are actually pretty ugly. But the overall theme is nice and they all fit together. The music however gets a bit annoying. The remixed sonic theme from the first levels did get on my nerves after a while, but its nothing crucial and I know that its not easy to come over some good music.

As for the gameplay, it all feels very solid and the feeling when you play is really sweet. It has a nice flow in it. But again, the graphical style is pretty boring so you dont really care what you are doing or what you are killing. Some more personality wouldnt have hurted. But overall, its rather good. The presentation could have been alot better though. The helpfile felt very sloppy tbh, with little to no info and typos. Its no big deal though, but it would have been easy to solve.

I do not have Firefox so I couldnt watch the flash sequences Im afraid, perhaps that would have given me a clue to what I was doing, but I really think that there should have been an option to that. Since not everyone have firefox, making an alternative slideshow or something displaying the same content would have been nice.

To sum up, its a good game, well worth playing, but it has its flaws. It is however, well above the normal standard around here. Good work! With a few fixes though, it would really shine!
