What’s It About?
Players can choose level of difficulty and number of squares as well as whether to play against the computer or online with friends or random players. To play, kids take turns “connecting the dots” -- tapping spaces between dots on a grid. A red or green glowing line appears accompanied by a cool light saber sound. Once a square has a second side, a third will give your opponent the chance to add the final line, win the square, and get another turn. The player with the most filled in squares wins.
Is It Any Good?
SQUARE WARS is a basic strategizing game that brings a pencil-and-paper classic to Android devices. Kids playing the app can learn a few things about how to think about and approach simple tasks. Square Wars is an entertaining way to pass time and will quickly expose player competitiveness.
The iffy ads in the free version make this app less than ideal for kids. If your kids like the free version, it's worth it to spring for the ad-free version available in the Android Market. Otherwise, parents will want to keep a close eye on kids using the app.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
