TriJinx: A Kristine Kross Mystery™ Reviews

Cute little puzlle game, fun to waste some time with it. Buy it only on sale, not worth more than 1 or 2 Dollars.

Great game! Fun, challenging, and intense, at times.

Too pricey for a simple match game. There's just not enough to keep my attention. It just makes me want to play Bejeweled some more.

The game crashes after a few moves. Couldn`'t find any help.

I have never played a game where ocular deformity was mentioned so frequently without any payoff. Come to think of it, I can't remember playing any other game where ocular deformity was mentioned so frequently. It really was unclear what Kristine's father was trying to accomplish raiding this particular tomb, other than providing his daughter an excuse for "adventure". There were certainly no "electrifying story twists". The fundamental flaw of this game is the scaling of the challenge. Through the first half of the game, the additional challenges steadily introduced require an element of strategy. Rotating the board to build larger matches is a unique and enjoyable feature of play. The player still has time to think ahead and plan ways to boost the score. Bonuses can be saved for emergency use in case the timer is running out. At this point, the game is fun. Late in the game, there is a period in which the minimum number of triangles required to make a match increases, and there is too much going on to take much time for strategy or saving up bonuses. The bonuses become required to clear the boards and the timer doesn't apply anymore (even though it is running) because the drop rate is disproportionately higher than the time given to clear the board. At this point, I and no idea what I had done to clear the boards - I was just glad they were over. Then, inexplicably, the boards revert to the earlier requirement for matching, opportunities for bonuses are abundant, and one of the shortest and easiest boards I played in the whole game was just before the ending. It was rather odd. As a casual game, TriJinx could have benefited from multiple difficulty levels that would slow or speed the timer and/or slow or speed the rate the triangles fell to give the player the option to set their own desired degree of challenge. I only recommend this game to players who are experienced with this kind of matching game and want to try something a little unique. I do not recommend this an entry game into this genre. And if you are going to buy it, wait for a good sale that cuts it down to a few bucks or less because it is dated.

Its a simple fun "match the colors" style puzzle game with a cute (cute is the only word I could think of) little story. Good for a time killer and seems like it would run on a low-end pc. $6.99 seems a little pricey so I would wait for a sale.
