Game Review: Quadrata
May 31, 2011 No Comments
Remember being a little kid and playing squares on a piece of paper? Well the new and totally free game Quadrata for Windows Phone 7 takes that basic function and turns it into a great mobile game. Plus the game does not disappoint when it comes to the visuals. Beautiful Mind Games did an amazing job with the artwork and the gameplay as well.
The game starts you off with your basic look to the classic game squares. A grid with a few lines already drawn in and you take turns with the CPU or a 2nd human player drawing out the rest of the lines. Now, instead of trying to form squares to get the territory. In Quadrata, you have to try to get a box made up of 4 smaller squares.
At first you might be beaten senseless, even by the CPU on easy but as you play and get a feel of the game – you will have a great time playing it.
