Square Off WP7 1.5 Update!

Friday, January 6th, 2012

We’ve just released the 1.5 update to WP7 Square Off! Here is the feature list:

- Choose any colour for your Square Avenger!
- Downloadable ringtones and wallpapers (the free version has one of each, the paid version has 4 ringtones and 3 wallpapers).
- Option to disable in-game vibration
- Messages from the Developers
- Various stability and bug fixes

We also hit 160,000 downloads of Square Off just on WP7 which got us pretty excited and to celebrate, we decided to drop the price of the full game to $1 until the end of January!

Here's to the update!

Square Off 1.4 Update (Mango Support)

Saturday, October 29th, 2011

The 1.4 update for Square Off is now live on the marketplace and is available for both the paid and FREE versions of the game. The update has increased the performance of the game significantly and also added support for fast resume.

We have another update in the works already with a much requested feature, but it is still early days and I would prefer to keep it a surprise :)

Thank you all for your marketplace reviews which have been overwhelmingly positive (click here to see reviews and comments from our many users around the world). The free version is really taking off and quickly climbing to the top of the free games category.

WP7Connect reviews Square Off

Friday, May 6th, 2011


Read it here. No, really do, it’s a great review.

The support that Hyde13 has shown us in the last month has been outstanding. First he posted about initial press release here. Then he sniffed out the news that we were about to release and posted about it here, with multiple updates. Not long after we released, he featured us in a piece about how some non-Xbox Live enabled WP7 titles were better than some that are Xbox Live enabled (read: ours is!). And finally he posted the wonderful review linked at the top of this post.

Thanks WP7Connect!

You can read the full review here. I recommend you do as it’s very thorough, but also fair.

Paul also gave us some extremely valuable pre-release feedback that has led to significant improvements in the game. He raised things like improved ease of bomb throwing, more varied enemy colours and general improvements in the controls (including a critical bug). Much appreciated.

We posted the video review that goes with this review before, but here it is again:

MobileTechWorld does a Square Off WP7 video review

Wednesday, May 4th, 2011

 

The original post contains a short review which can be read here. Thanks M. Daou for doing the review. One little correction though: it’s a port of a Xbox Live Indie game (not Arcade). Also, you can hold your right thumb down if it gets tired doing the Rocket Riot style shooting for every bullet :)

First Square Off WP7 review!

Wednesday, May 4th, 2011

We’re still waiting for the game to go live, but our first review is in. The Xbox Indie Games version was popular in Germany, and it looks like the Windows Phone version will be too. Read it here (if you can speak German, if not let google translate it for you):

Thanks to the guys at dotCONN.de for the glowing review (4.5/5 stars!). What is more, they’ve also offered to translate it to German. We plan to include this in the first update.
