I must express my disappointment. Initially, I believed a Tetris-inspired game featuring a triangle theme would be engaging. However, it turned out to be quite tedious, lacking any combo mechanics or exciting gameplay elements. The only notable feature is the ability to construct upside-down triangles. Each level feels interminable, and correcting errors is a time-consuming process. Once you clear the black sections at the bottom, you are left with the task of building an unattractive base to access higher areas. Overall, the experience is rather unfulfilling.
Triangulate is a game that is straightforward to grasp but challenging to excel at. Players must stack falling triangles to form larger triangles of the same color, causing them to vanish along with the black background. While the concept is simple, completing an entire level demands quick thinking, strategic planning, and excellent hand-eye coordination.
Only a true TRIANGULATE MASTER can conquer all nine levels, particularly the final three, which require exceptional skill and perseverance. Unfortunately, the controls—whether using an Xbox controller or a mouse and keyboard—are far from responsive. It feels akin to a stutter in gaming; you must repeatedly press a direction to move a piece. Unlike Tetris, there is no option to rotate pieces into position.
The graphics range from uninspired to unattractive, and the overall presentation feels disjointed, reminiscent of the 1990s. Additionally, I found no option to enlarge the small game window.
On a positive note, the music is decent, featuring around a dozen tracks.
The "how to play" section suggests this may be a port of a mobile game. According to the credits, it was developed by a single individual. Brian, while I appreciate your effort, this game is not suitable for sale on Steam. I encourage you to continue learning about what makes a game captivating. Consider Peggle as a reference; its concept may not be groundbreaking, but its presentation keeps players coming back.
