Triangles
Read full descriptionHide full description
Triangles fall from the top, move them and rotate so that sides match with triangles below. When two sides match, both triangles permanantly set to that color. When four or more triangles of the same color are together they disappear and you get points. Sounds easy right? It is, and if you want a nice puzzle game to keep your brain busy it's perfect. But, you'll quickly see that there are many ways to score massive points by joining more than four triangles together! It's simple to play and fun to master. Game modes: Battle - Race to clear triangles and score points as rows rise from the bottom. The speed increases every level. Classic - Score as many points as possible. The speed increases every level. Zen - Stress-free mode with no speed increases Powers - Strategically place the powers to benefit you the most. The speed increases every level. Shapes - Clear the shape with as few triangles as possible. The speed increases every level. Tips: You get more points for clearing more triangles at once. The more you risk, the more points you'll get. Feedback: Please contact us with any issues and we'll try to fix them quickly.

Pentatrix is a challenge that looks easy enough to underestimate and sharp enough to punish that mistake. Five triangles fall, twist, bounce, block each other, and turn every lazy move into a problem you have to solve later - while you just want to organize them into lines to resolve. THE GAME Build complete lines from pieces made of five triangles. The twist: pieces fall at a 30° angle to the left or right, so a gap that looks easy to fill can demand a whole new plan. Give your brain something to play with. Pentatrix is a casual game for people who enjoy a challenge: read the angles, plan your next move, and clear lines as the pace rises. Three difficulty levels give you increasingly demanding ways to put your spatial thinking to work. You get a little help along the way: in the easier modes, pieces bounce off the sides to keep moving. In Insane mode, the angled fall can leave them stuck there. Every clear earns you one Hextratrix, which you can use to remove a hexagon of triangles blocking your game and make room for your next move.
