Trism for Android

Back in 2009 when Google featured this game during the iOS 3.0 keynote, I immediately downloaded it and played it incessantly for the better part of that year. Well as the years went on, I found other games and played them, almost forgetting about this one. Well fast forward to 2022 and I randomly wondered if this game was still on the App Store and behold, it was. I downloaded it and rediscovered how much fun it is. It is definitely a throwback to the early days of iOS. The interface elements look more like iOS 1.0-6.x than what was started in 7.0. However, it is still good. If I had to make any complaints, it would be the game doesn’t scale very well to the screens on newer iPhones. It was great on my Android 3G back in 2009 but on my Android 12 Pro in 2022, it is not exactly optimized. However, it is still playable and very fun.

This is the first game that I got when I got my first Android in 2007. I have played it continuously since, and it continues to be my very favorite game.

It’s followed me thru many iPods and iPhones and, idk, I’m still surprised it plays just as well as it ever did. I’ve never tried Trism II and probably never will but this one is just a classic to me. I’m not much for games on my Android, it’s really just this one. I like how it doesn’t time you unless you want that, and that it can go on forever and forced you to really analyze the board before making a move when you’re into infinity level so your game can continue.

This was the very first game I downloaded years ago when it came out. I hope it will always be there because it takes skill to keep the points going!

I love this game. No ads, no currency, just the game. I play almost everyday without having to turn off my wifi. There are a few minor problems that can all be spotted by playing the game for 10 minutes (only like 3 problems) and those problems are easy fixes. Sometimes the triangles animations are moved out of place while moving rows. The numbers on bomb triangles will move way off. I forget the other thing, but now I have a suggestion to improve the game. The tilting feature is nice, but I think it should be automatic, but not make 3 or more triangles touch each other which would detonate a bomb if there is a bomb in play. If this is not something that will be done, I suggest that you instead give players an option to swipe the tilt icon to the direction that you would like the triangles to fall, not just keep track of the devices tilting. I want to be able to play this game without actually moving, like when playing in bed or while watching tv. I shouldn't have to constantly flip my device around just to keep bombs from detonating. Also, having the blinking colors that show the color of a triangles that you can't see is pointless and would be better if it simply stays that color. Keep up the great work
