Squareball is the game that should be shipped with the iPhone. The first true action arcade game with perfect controls only possible on the iDevices. The game is available in the App Store for $0.99.

Important note

It has come to our attention that a lot of you play Squareball holding the iPhone with both hands, using a thumb to control the game. While this method of control may feel safe and confortable it ultimately makes the game INSANELY difficult. Because of the way the thumb is attached to the hand it is impossible to consistently lift it from the screen without inadvertently dragging it. In addition the effective horizontal range of the thumb is only about half the screen. Here is how to properly play Squareball:

  1. Cradle the iPhone with your weak hand.
  2. Use the index finger of your strong hand to control the game.

Some sections of the game are impossible to pass without the full screen range of this control method. So, everybody, get out of the confort zone and start playing Squareball like the Pros. We know players who have finished the entire Story Mode on one credit using this method.

What people think

Squareball is a brilliant game for the iPhone. The developer says it should be shipped with the iPhone and I’m actually inclined to agree. If you love classic twitch/skill challenges and have an appreciation for retro flair, Squareball is a perfect download. I hope the game soars up the charts

As a concept it's been brilliantly realised with the minimum of fuss. It's one of those rare games that feels simultaneously like a nod to the past and a bold new idea.

You can pick it up quickly, but it gets progressively harder over time without ever getting frustrating. In other words, it’s pretty close to a perfect game

With graphics akin to Atari’s Adventure in pseudo-3D and a fab soundtrack, this game’s had me addicted and loving it and hating it in equal measure since its day of release

What’s not to like about Drömsynt’s Squareball? Not much it turns out. Its retro graphics are simple yet sleek. The game actually fully uses the iPhone and iTouch technology instead of treating it like an obstacle
