This game fits the category of "easy to play, hard to master"-- I like it quite a bit. (I scored 90 my first try, and I haven't played again for fear of doing worse)
It's tricky ;)
My greatest accomplishment with it is being able to lose in 6 moves, the earliest I ahd seen before that was 18 and decided to go for the lowest possible... I got 15 then 12 then 9 and now 6. It seems to go in 3's.

My new best is 98 boxes, I also found the pitiful 6-move loss (when you know it's possible, it's alot easier.) I tried to find a good pattern to fill 'em all in, but your square is the wrong size. If it was 10x12 I could do it, hehe. I can't seem to find what's changed in the update. As far as I'm concerned it's fully functional already. The only improvement could be aesthetics.
Oh, great. I think I found the way by filling in each quadrant, but it's too late at night for me to remember what I did. I started in the bottom right corner (an image link is in my profile)
