Square Valley
iOS & Android, (RyceKube)
In Square Valley, you place a tile on your turn to add houses, trees, farms, rivers, and a lot of other things that make your valley look more peaceful. The twist is that each tile gets points based on what it is touching. For example, trees get more points when they are next to water, and wheat fields get more points when they are close together.
Each turn, the area where you can place tiles changes. This is a mix of luck and planning that affects how you gradually landscape each hand-drawn puzzle.
There is no time limit, and the soft music gives it a slow pace that doesn't take away from how challenging or fun the puzzles are.
Square Valley is a unique, world-creating puzzle game – with the goal to find the most rewarding positions for tiles and edges (such as roads, rivers or city walls).
You play as the Spirit of the Valley, tasked with creating unique lands that meet the needs of the citizens. To achieve this, you will need to place tiles such as houses, trees, farms, animals, and much more! Each tile you position is unique in its characteristics and will be scored accordingly. You'll also create roads, rivers, fences, and more to connect all your tiles together in a meaningful way.
However, your task is not as simple as it sounds. You have limited control over which tiles you can place where. Each round will feel like a new challenge, so you'll have to plan ahead to succeed.
You'll play in three different chapters with a total of 45 levels. With each level you advance, you'll be offered more tiles and have more difficult obstacles to overcome. The journey starts with setting up fences and walls and then moves on to building plateaus, lakes, and even islands! It's no easy task, but we think you'll rise to the challenge! Once you've completed the levels, you can play them again to improve your score and compete in the leaderboards.
With the puzzles randomly generated, it's fun to replay each level. Whenever you finish a challenge, you will have created a unique little world to be proud of. If you are interested in even more random experiences, take a look at the sandbox mode, in which you'll be given a unique level depending on your preferred game settings.
Good luck, Spirit of the Valley – go forth and build spectacular little worlds!
