Trigna for Windows Mobile

INTRODUCTION:

CrazySoft recently introduced Trigna, an interesting little game, for Windows Mobile and other handheld platforms.  They were kind enough to grant me a review copy and as such, I’ve been spending some time with it on my HTC Touch Pro.  Grab yourself a glass of iced tea and join me as we get immersed into the addictiveness that is Trigna.

HOW TO PLAY:

Trigna is an interesting game.  After playing it for a while, I started to think about how I would label this game.  Many thoughts later, it occurs to me that Trigna falls into several different categories, being part educational in the fact that it could be used to illustrate triangles, part puzzle in the fact that you are continually examining different combinations.  Trigna also has a bit of throwback quality, reminding me somewhat of the old shooter style games, ala Duck Hunt for Nintendo.

As you start the game, you are greeted with full screen display including a control panel in the upper left and a dancing narrating triangle guy above the game board.  As the level starts, different colored circles appears (in Options you can enable Color Blind Mode to have the circles display shapes… nice touch).  Using a stylus, tap on three like colored circles to complete a triangle.

The objective is to make as many different triangles as possible during the small amount of time provided.  The triangle guy dances at your success or labels you a “fail”, depending on the amount of triangles you compose as time passes.  I kind of get the feeling he is a little too tough on me as I have started in the Easy mode and find that it is quite difficult.  But, I know he just wants the best for me…. to make me quicker at finding triangles.  He does have me scared to try the harder modes though.

CONCLUSION:

All in all, CrazySoft hit a home run with Trigna.  It’s simple yet addictive.  It’s leisurely yet blood-pressure raising.  It makes one think in terms of mathematics and spatial relationships without flaunting education in their faces.  I highly recommend Trigna for Windows Mobile.
