YANKAI'S TRIANGLE Reviews

A relaxing, not too difficult puzzle game that's worth its price. Possibly procedurally generated? Not 100% sure; I stopped when I got the last achievement, as no end looked in sight. A good time nonetheless.

The constant "cool" film grain effect that cannot be turned off is seriously annoying and distracting. And the lack of music, in the place of which is strange skittering noises, rain, fractions of radio transmissions, and ethereal noises, is unsettling. I endure it only by replacing the music files in the game's assets with my own. Further, the game isn't capable of running in high-res, so even 1280*800 is painful to use, as you're looking at pixellated triangles most of the time. Also, the film grain is pixellated, so it just looks like this creepy puzzle game with random noises played on an old security monitor, an idea which, when you think of it, makes it even more unpleasant. But if you can get past all of that (I admit the sound can be turned off,) be my guest.

TERRIBLE FILM GRAIN EFFECT. Headache inducing, look closely at trailer to see it, but gets way worse on more colorful levels. The music in the trailer is not in the game, Just strange sound effects. Actually a fun and simple puzzle game, but unplayable with the grain effect that cannot be taken off.

Interesting concept for a puzzle game. For $3 not bad. If the achievements are to believed there are a lot of puzzles, and for me personally they started to get challenging around level 20 or so.

in [b]yankai's triangle[/b] you have to rotate triangles to match all the patterns on every side and combine every triangle on the level into one, and do it until your hands fall off, as it's practically endless. or until you go blind because it's way too colorful for its own good and [b]the grain filter can't be turned off[/b]. or until you go deaf because the [b]audio is terrible[/b], no music, just various annoying noises. [b]controls are mostly fine[/b], left click rotates in one direction, right click in the other, and you can zoom in and out to see more layers with a right click as well. the one thing I found odd is having to hold esc or the mouse button at the top of the screen to bring up the menu, and do the same again to exit the game. there are volume and color settings, windowed mode, and switching between two types of audio, one worse than the other. the thud sound for triangles matching up is kinda satisfying though. and while the steam overlay works, taking screenshots doesn't, nor can you go back to replay earlier levels, though god knows why you'd want to. while the core mechanic is simple, it could've been enough to carry the game, but the patterns are just too psychedelic and bigger levels can get tedious, going back and forth between layers until you find the right combination. I picked it up at 67% off and still don't think it was worth it.

Unfortunately [i]too[/i] psychedelic to properly focus on how to piece the triangles together. As a result, if you get stuck on a puzzle, you are stuck [b]forever[/b].

Okay so, it's a neat little game. Might not be quite worth 6 dollars. The grain effect is really distracting and stops the game from being a relaxing puzzle game. It's still a neat concept, but it's really a headache inducer with the grain effect. if I could just, you know, turn the grain effect off, that would really help.

If you've ever wanted to spin triangles, you've come to the right game. It has all the triangles and you can spin all of them. It's strangely addicting, although I'm not sure the game has a definite end. What's the point of the counters if it never ends?

I enjoy the mechanics of this game, but the visual noise is appalling and I'm not sure I can play more of it. The flickering and film grain and colors shifting and moving background - UGH. Eye-searing and headache-inducing visual overload. I wish there were an option to turn off all visual effects; if there were, this might be my new favorite relaxing puzzle game. Since there isn't... I don't know how much I'll be able to play it. I definitely regret spending money on it.

From the About "A Cool Film Grain Effect" - This is the worst part about this game, film grain is a dreadful effect. Other than that, the store page is pretty accurate as to what the game is; you rotate triangles until colours match & you make bigger triangles. It has both ominous & happy soundtracks & it gradually gets more complex as more triangles need building upon triangles which might require you to backtrack & untriangle triangles you've made into triangles before in order to combine the triangles into different triangles to make the correct triangles later on. There are plenty of triangles, if you're into that. Also points for Store Page honesty: "A 'Colorblind' Option if You Are Colorblind (it's not great tbh)", I agree, borderline unplayable as it doesn't replace the colours with a range of colours that colorblind people can see properly, it replaces them with shapes which are too similar & it plays atrociously, if that was the main mode I would have returned it. "Pretty Fun Gameplay (it's all right)", that's this review in a nutshell; this isn't Tumblestone or Hook, 2 of my favourite puzzle games ever but it's okay. If you aren't colourblind, it's a pretty okay time.
