This is really well done! The music fits perfectly, and that was something the original was sorely lacking. I agree that the hints come a bit too soon, and an option to disable them would be nice. It's already a little easier than the original because of the fancy and awesome drag-select feature, but then again, the original was probably way too hard.

5/5, although I may be a tiny bit biased.

PS: Thanks! Coming across your game really made my day, and I registered just to post this.

I REMEMBER SQUAREZ!

It probably wasn't that fun objectively speaking, compared to the stuff on Newgrounds today, but I couldn't find many free and fun games on the Internet back then.

This version improves a bunch of flaws the original had. Have full marks for giving me an evening's nostalgia.

It's clever and pretty fun. The hints come too early, though. It's somewhat annoying to have things pointed out before you've even got to look around thoroughly yourself. The pause feature is unnecessary as it does not pause actually pause the game. It's clickable and gives you a pause screen, but you can still run out the timer in it and lose the game.

Overall it's not bad though. Good work. :)

It's hard but fun and very creative. 9/10

A kinda fun game. Too difficult to see but maybe that is only my own difficulty. It's a tough thing trying to say how you could improve the game. It is nice that you give the player hints, but the overall thing is not playable enough.
