Thanks muchly...although as much as I'd like to, I can't take credit for the original game concept. That dubious honor belongs to the first game's enigmatic creator, Gavin Shapiro. Glad you appreciated it, though!

Well I'll be damned, you really improved on a classic
A couple of suggestions, though: first, look into embedding your fonts in the FLA so they don't get all pixely 
I'll also let you in on a little bug I found in flash player that lets people cheat at games like these -- if you click and hold the mouse button, Flash will keep receiving your _xmouse and _ymouse even once you leave the flash area, for as long as the button is held! People can move out of the reach of the rotator that way.. you should always check if the clip's position is still inside the movie or not by hand 
About the red square's movement in 'chase', if you use a bit of trigonometry it'll move smoother...
angleToPlayer = Math.atan2(player_mc._y-chaser_mc._y, player_mc._x-chaser_mc._x);
chaser_mc._x += Math.cos(angleToPlayer)*speed;
chaser_mc._y += Math.sin(angleToPlayer)*speed;
SOH CAH TOA and all that
The Evasion mode is great, btw. I love it and hate it. X3;;
Overall, several games in one flash, with a menu, each one's got an ending, nice job!

I quite liked the original Squares, and many of the new modes in this version are quite inventive.
The Evasion mode reminded me of Falldown. Was the subtitle "Revamped" inspired by the Flash series "Ball: Revamped"?

Thanks. Yes, I did borrow the "Revamped" segment from jmbt02's acclaimed action games.
