Sometimes I play with the sound muted because I find the audio kind of spooky. I like that aesthetic though, so other times I leave it on. I almost gave it a bad review because I thought one of the levels was broken, but it turned out I just needed to up my puzzle game. The only suggestion I would make is there should be an option to turn off the levels that have fast flashing/strobe-like effects for folks with epileptic or sensory processing issues. ### 4/5 — Triangles *2018-09-21, version 3.9.27* It’s a fun game, but could really benefit from iCloud game saves. I don’t particularly feel like starting over to play on a new device. ### 5/5 — Puzzling and eerie *2017-08-14* This game honestly sounds simple and it theory, it is. But. It get harder. And the puzzles are random. You could spend an hour on one and the next one spend less than one minute. The game itself as a very eerie feel to it. But other than that, it a very unique and addictive. ### 5/5 — Awesome game! *2017-08-08* When I first started playing this game I thought it was going to be boring.I played a little longer and realized it was just right- not boring, but not too hard. Some of the levels have you tearing your hair out trying to figure it out, while others take just a few movements to solve. This game is so unique and so well thought out, it's a pleasure to play. ### 5/5 — Level 278 *2017-08-04, version 3.9.27* This Level has a pattern I haven't deciphered yet. Any clues? ### 3/5 — Meh *2017-08-01, version 3.9.27* Been playing for a while now and have yet to find any sort of challenge in it. Nicely made app (if a little hard on the eyes) but not really any fun. ### 4/5 — Great but... *2017-07-28, version 3.9.27* Great game, really fun to play. However if I try to go to another app or leave the game for a minute, going back to the game will make it freeze up and then crash :/ ### 5/5 — Completely hooked! *2017-07-28, version 3.9.27* I love this game, love the sounds! The basic idea is so simple but there are so many variations. I'm on 139 and it keeps chucking me new challenges. I find the repetition relaxing, but the fact you don't know what coming next is very exciting. And the game is totally free! Good luck to you Kenny Sun, I love your game ### 5/5 — A literal and metaphorical embodiment of pieces falling together *2017-07-28* This puzzle game is intimidating at first, with its discordant soundtrack and constantly ticking counters of moves and seconds, but the play itself is both straightforward and complicated: make the colors on the edges of the triangles match so they can glom together. Which is incredibly satisfying - especially (to me) when I have to run backwards, deeper into the triangle, to make the outermost edges fit ... and then can simply fly outwards from the center watching everything snap into place exactly as I planned. Good game. ### 3/5 — Good but not for the visually impaired *2017-07-27* Fun game but if you're dyslexic (like me) or have other vision impairments you're gonna have a lot less fun. For me most levels are fine but there's some with changing colors that make tracking which triangles match essentially impossible. I really wish they would add an option to skip a level or play a version that's vision impairment friendly. Great atmosphere but making it more accessible to folks like me would be nice. ### 5/5 — all the way down it's triangles *2017-07-27, version 3.9.27* it's triangles all the way down we're all triangles metaphysical triangles rotate me... US... until it fits so it can be over finally ### 2/5 — Pretty but basic *2017-07-27, version 3.9.27* This game isn't complicated at all. Spin and match the things... I'm kinda bored with it after a few minutes but apparently it gets more detailed. I care not to find out ### 5/5 — Time relaxer *2017-07-27, version 3.9.27* Great design overall of a puzzle game! Easy to play and understand. Kenny Sun did a great job! ### 3/5 — Archetypal pretentious art puzzler *2017-07-27, version 3.9.27* I like that this game has stats along the top. It meant I could track how long it took for me to lose any and all interest in this game. 22 levels and 12 minutes in case you're wondering. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lacks Basic Game Instructions *2018-04-01, version 3.9.27* Disappointing App in that I couldn’t find some basic instructions on what I was supposed to do. I found it to be boring without knowing the basics. The developer’s website contained no information at all - just screen shots. ### 1/5 — What's up with the static? *2017-08-05, version 3.9.27* The static background noise makes the game painful to play. I mean... really? ### 1/5 — Creepy *2017-07-27, version 3.9.27* Eye in a triangle... wired white noise background music... extra almost inaudible voices... yah, no thanks. ### 1/5 — Not Good *2017-07-27, version 3.9.27* This is not an entertaining game. All you do is spin triangles until you match. You don't chose which way to spin so you just tap the screen until the fit. No way to replay levels to try and get less spins. It's just not fun. ### 1/5 — Fun but creepy *2017-07-26, version 3.9.27* Fun concept but badly performed and creepy ### 1/5 — Boring *2017-07-24, version 3.9.27* Blah ### 1/5 — Illuminati? *2017-07-21, version 3.9.27* The photos looks like it's illuminati ### 2/5 — First impressions *2017-12-17, version 3.9.27* I had a few concerns before purchasing this game: 1) can I mute sounds to minimize the creepiness? (I wanted a peaceful game, not a creepy one) and can I listen to my own music while playing? 2) are the visuals bothersome? 3) do the puzzles get repetitive? 4) does the playtime justify the price? I’m a picky buyer. I look through reviews for days before picking something up. Yanki’s Triangle seemed pretty cool and it’s an endless, procedurally generated puzzle. I like endless puzzles and high score puzzles, so I was interested. Here are my answers: 1) yes and yes. It’s in the settings. Muting the background noises will also mute the noises of the turning and clicking triangles, though (they’re indistinguishable, so you get complete silence). Play your own music by swiping up and pressing play. This also mutes all sound effects, even with the volume up. There are also a few bugs with playing your own music. It’ll freeze and you have to start over (on that level, not the game!!!) 2) I was not bothered by the visuals. The grainy effect was meh. May get tiring after a while. The triangles get slightly larger and smaller, as if they are breathing. 3) I have not played long enough to justify answering this question. Levels zoom by like nothing, though. I slammed through 30 of them in 40 minutes. I’m sure the later ones take longer, but that’s a warning to be wary despite people claiming to be on level 600 or whatever. Still impressive though :) 4) again, haven’t played long enough. I’m going on a trip (no wifi! Which is why I was looking for a good no-WiFi game) for a week or so. I will update my review when I come back. Other notes: it seems like a fast addiction kind of game. I’ve read that new mechanics are introduced hundreds of levels in, though. I don’t have a good stamina for puzzlers (Threes lasted the longest for me) but we’ll see. I’ve been dissatisfied with puzzles lately. Twofold Inc. was a disappointment, and I was upset I couldn’t refund it; but Alto’s Adventure (an infinite runner) was fantastic. Maybe I should take a break from puzzlers lol. So, the praise I’m giving to this game is probably due to the new game high I’m experiencing right now (that initial excitement of playing something new). I’ll update once that fades. Update: the more I played the game, the more I felt something was missing. Ive finally realized: this game has no atmosphere. The difficulty curve is broken. There is no score to chase — I can’t understand the scoring system and my research has come up with nothing. It’s not soothing like most puzzlers; while I appreciate the uniqueness and respect the creepy tone I think the developer wanted to show, the lack of music makes it seem somewhat bland. That is, I’m not feeling the creepy vibes. If there were equally intoxicating music, I would appreciate it more. I’m stuck on a level and nothing is urging me to finish it. I don’t feel a sense of satisfaction; lack of scoring and lack of atmosphere (music) keeps me from satisfaction. -2 stars ### 2/5 — good puzzles but unplayable visual effects *2017-10-14* I usually enjoy these kinds of puzzles, but the "film grain effect" dithering makes it unplayable for me. I can't look at the screen without getting headachy and nauseous. If you offered a setting to turn it off and give me a solid colored background without the random quivering I would give this game at least four stars, and I only managed to play through the first three puzzles before I had to stop. ### 2/5 — Horrible (I think) *2017-07-27, version 3.9.27* The details sound (like a like ) unsure (like I think) child who (I think) hasn't seen it before and (like I think) dont get me started witn the game (I think) Hope that wasn't too painful to read but that is somewhat what the description beholds (I think) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I am freaked out *2024-12-24, version 3.9.27* The static and ambience combined with the eyes on some levels make me intimidated and waiting for a jumpscare… other than that 10/triangle, would play again! ### 5/5 — YANKAI’S TRIANGLES *2024-06-09, version 3.9.27* This game has allowed me to form a more holistic and nuanced view of the universe we live in It is perfect ### 5/5 — YANKAI,S TRIANGLE.-🤔—💭 ? *2022-05-15, version 3.9.27* I’m loving this!, this is a right head scratcher this one & an absolute mindbender to boot. I’ve never seen a game quite like this. & when the puzzles get harder and I can’t solve the puzzle I’m on I get annoyed with it! But that’s what gaming is all about isn’t it 👍 I specifically look on the App Store for games like this. Games that are totally out the ordinary. & this is it. A right brain 🧠 Scratching puzzler this one. Lee Evans. ### 5/5 — LOVE OF TRIANGLES *2019-01-23, version 3.9.27* This is more an art piece than a game. I don’t think I paid for it(it was years ago and I deleted it for space but downloaded it again today) but it would be worth money. ### 5/5 — Clever, relaxing, fun, and sometimes hard. *2018-02-17* An amazing game, I loved it from the very start with its relaxing gameplay and interesting hard and easy levels. I love playing this game so much, I wish I was able to get yankais peak but I don’t have money. Anyway this game is so fun and a great stress reliever. Been playing for such a long time and love it. ### 5/5 — Great *2018-02-07, version 3.9.27* This game is not like the others. The difference is that if you hate this game, it will hate you right back. ### 5/5 — Not what you're expecting *2017-11-15* So, you've picked up this game. Great! I am currently around level 500 something and I can tell you this: once you figure out the pattern to completing the puzzles, most of them will be a cake walk. But after you get to somewhere in the 100 levels area, the game is going to become much more difficult. Watch out. Seriously, bottom line is, get this game if you like puzzlers, don't get this game if you hate games that hate you back. ### 5/5 — This is the abstract game!!! *2017-11-05, version 3.9.27* This the nicest game ever and this is great in vision terms and it sounds great. Also it plays very well I am proud of this app.😆 ### 5/5 — J'adore ce jeu! *2017-10-19, version 3.9.27* Brillant! ### 5/5 — KingNova__ On IG *2017-08-17, version 3.9.27* I Love This Game. I've Played So Many Games On The App Store But None Like This. It's Unique In Creativity & The Puzzles Are Tough But Additive. The Background Noise, Multiple Triangles, Locking & Interchanging As You Advance Is Flawless. Definitely A Cool Way To Tease Your Brain & Id Suggest It To Anyone Looking For Something Different. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
