Weird bug: my science is decreasing by about 5,000 per second, and it reads as "12607,615,438" (the first group of numbers is too big, no scientific notation). I don't want to refresh because it doesn't save... how can I fix this
I have played Links and Plus style puzzles before, and I'm pretty good at Links, and I understand Plus (although they can be tricky), but I don't think I can ever get the Hard achievement. Squares is by far the most difficult puzzle type I have ever seen, and would probably require a hint button that refreshed a lot quicker than every three minutes. The rules seem straightforward, but there's so many options that the game becomes way too difficult. If the squares were laid out like they were in Minesweeper (i.e. an "8" would only mean the eight squares around it, and no number would be colored itself), I believe it would be made a lot more manageable. I know, this game has been out for a long time, and what I say doesn't matter, but still, Squares is extremely difficult. Beware.
(Spoiler) To kill the boss: Its left and right sides are open, so when you're not in danger of it coming after you (it's going up and down a lot) stand in the middle of a horizontal hallway and spam space. This will shoot bullets in the chink of its armor (where there are no spikes). Do this a bunch and you'll win.
