User guide
==User guide==
The game takes place in a universe threatened by SquareMaster. Composed of nanomachines, this war machine has gained its independence and threatens all living beings. For this, it continuously manufactures several ships, which it sends to the four corners of the universe.
SquareForce takes place in nearly future. Some scientists have created a new technology: the SquareTile, which has been then stolen by the army to create a new terrible weapon: the SquareMaster. One day they loose control of this weapon which starts suddenly to eradicate all traces of living organism. The only survivors are those who exile themselves in space. 3 centuries later humans are spread in all the universe and live in fear to see one day the troops of the SquareMaster come to finish their job.


You have just been drafted into the Square Force, a group of mercenaries fighting against the SquareMaster. In order to counter the onslaught, you will have to create our own ship ourselves using a 3x3 grid.
In SquareForce you will be a human who just passed the SquareShip's pilote exam to enter the SquareForce which is a company of mercenaries which tries to prepare to the inevitable incoming war. A SquareShip is a spaceship constituted of SquareTiles. The biggest property of these SquareTiles is that you can built a SquareShip of any form from them, using a 3x3 grid.  


You can decide where to put components like shields, reactors, and guns and how many of them to include. They will determine the ship's appearance, performance and weight. Once the creation is complete, you can use it to attack the SquareMaster pawns.
Each SquareTile in the game have a special type (hull, engine, gun, missile launcher or mine launcher) and special properties.
