- “This is an awesome game, with simple graphics and straightforward gameplay, but it is very demanding.”
- “The gameplay is literally just Flappy Bird with extra steps (also known as the Geometry Dash UFO gamemode), and there is absolutely no purpose to playing other than to beat your own high score and maybe hope to achieve the literally impossible 10,000 point achievement.”

The monetization of Square is criticized as a blatant cash grab by mobile developers, with many reviewers labeling it as low-quality shovelware that lacks originality and feels like a hastily ported mobile app rather than a legitimate PC game.
- “Square is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it was a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab from greedy mobile devs. It's a shovelware minimalist Flappy Bird ripoff that looks like it was copy-pasted from a Unity asset pack or a tutorial (there are dozens of these around).”

This approach detracts from the overall storytelling experience, leaving players wanting more depth and creativity.
- “The game features no proper level design or game/story flow/plot, as they opted to try to use samey repetitive procedural generation algorithms as a substitute for adding such content to the game, to avoid doing the important job of level/map design.”
