About This Game A bio-logical puzzle gameYour aim is to build a mysterious multicoloured substance known as tricone. To crack each level, you'll need to figure out the right sequence of interactions to bring each coloured piece together, changing the cell structure by breaking open walls or creating new divisions. You'll need to unlock resources then use catalysts to create the compounds you need. As you progress, new and unusual elements emerge and combine together inside shifting cell structures to challenge your lateral thinking.Features100 unique puzzle levels.A huge variety of cell elements that interact in unique ways.Guided tutorial levels to introduce you to the gameplay and terminology.Non-linear progression based on your mastery of particular elements. Undo/Redo capabilities let you experiment with different approaches to each level.Graphical level editor allows you to create your own puzzles which you can use to challenge other players online.Browse and download custom puzzles created by the Tricone community.Earn Steam Achievements as you master each set of puzzles.Features colour-blind mode.About the developerPartickhill Games Limited is a one-man indie gamedev operation based in Glasgow, Scotland.

Partickhill Games brings us Tricone Lab, a deceivingly simple, quasi-minimalist looking puzzle game that will make you use all your lateral thinking abilities in order to proceed though the increasingly difficult levels. In Tricone Lab you interact with microscopic organisms in what appears to be a cellular-like environment. Your goal? To create as many “tricones” as the level needs to let you proceed. Tricones are created by joining three colored cones (red, green and blue) into a master template, but several things will get in your way: not only the membranes, but also other organisms that might either aid or hinder you in your quest to complete the levels. The graphics of the game might be quite simple, but there’s a certain charm to the simplicity of the game, and I greatly appreciate the almost monochrome tonality of most of the game, for these type of puzzle games tend to end up in bright colors to make up for the lack of “proper” graphics. Not here! The graphic style seems to fit perfect with the game. The music and sounds are pretty good, almost relaxing, I rather enjoyed them even if I kept them at a very low level. Playing it is simple enough – you mostly will use your mouse to connect things and navigate, but there are also keyboard shortcuts should you not want to go entirely with the mouse. The levels, as I’ve already stated, appear to be quite simple when you begin, but as you progress they get increasingly difficult, and often times I would get stuck by not thinking things through properly before launching into what looked like a simple puzzle, but ended up being something more… even when the difficulty was marked as low. So the game really makes you pay attention to what you’re doing.There are neither tips nor guides in-game (there are tutorials though, like with every puzzle game, introducing you what new items do), though I’ve found often the level names are tips on their own.As you get through the levels you will unlock keys that will allow you to open even more levels for a whooping total of 100. Yes, you read that right. Tricone Lab boasts of 100+ levels, and if that were not enough for you, they also have a level editor. You can upload any maps you create with it, and others will be able to play them. Can you see the possibilities here? I can.And the game is still in development! Tricone Labs is an entertaining, challenging game that, although it might not be a graphical masterpiece, is truly worth your time. I’m the kind of person that gets easily frustrated with games, and I have to say, while I did get stuck here and there, Tricone was never stressful nor frustrating to play through. Do I recommend it? It’s a sound YES! You’re sure not to regret the purchase.. Does not have fullscreen mode. Now, borderless windowed (which the game features) would be enough, but ... its resolution list is limited. By far most games list resolutions up to my 4K desktop (Windows 10, newest patches), but this one doesn't, max is something around 3000.So I have the choice to play with a window centered on my screen that either has borders or doesn't have borders. But no fullscreen.That's just too low tech, and the game isn't good\/nostalgic\/magical\/whatever enough to warrant such a flaw. Refunded it.. Although I havent played a ton, what I have played is fun and challenging. If you like to think instead of shoot, this is a great game. I can see me putting many more hours into this game.. Tricone is a pretty sweet puzzle game. The idea is to create a molucule(or molecules) of tricone, a mysterious substance. To do so you need to connect a red, green, and blue tricone chip together with an assembler. To win each level you need to do the right actions in the right order.The game tutorializes through gameplay really well and is constantly adding new mechanics to keep the puzzles interesting. There is no time limit and you have unlimited restarts/undos. This creates a "go at your own pace" feeling to the game.Currently there are over 100 levels and it seems like there will only be more in the future. I think this is a pretty sweet game.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0muq-6kyawQ. Tricone is a puzzle game that nearly ticks all the right boxes.[Disclaimer: While I was given a copy of this game for free, I still think this is a good game][Disclaimer 2: This review is accurate as of beta build number 0.19]The good stuff:This game is very easy to learn how to play, be it just through trial and erorr, or through the in-game descriptions. But once you get past the first few levels, things start to get challenging. The method of requiring you to complete certain levels does help to guide you through the learning process (by preventing you from getting in over your head and confused and annoyed), so the learning curve is well tuned.The game also opens up quite a bit in terms of the variety and complexity of the operations that you have to make use of to solve the puzzles.The graphics are great. It has a simple (but not totally flat) look to it, and it does feel very much like we're looking into biological cells, especially with the wiggle-vision type outlining of the cell membranes. Also, the fact that it all reacts to your movements gives it a nice fluid sensation while you solve the puzzles. The animation of some of the later nodes, like the 'anti-catalyst' feels very alive and organic, which is a good thing to see.The sound design is all very nice, from the ambient music in the menus, to the sound that the elements you interact with make.Things that need improvement:It would be nice to see some sort of improvement to the community map downloader. Right now it seems as if you need to directly search for a known map, whereas it would be nice to be able to "browse" through them all directly.I'm not really a fan of the game launcher. It does work perfectly fine, and it all makes sense, but to me it looks more like the UI of simulation software you'd see in a university course than the launcher for a game (it is visibly a 'java' UI). I think it should be skinned to match the ib-game UI, but this doesnt really affect the gameplay beyond initial configuration. I also think that some of the options could be moved into an in-game options UI, rather than being in the launcher, but this is very much just personal preference.. A great little game that's very addictive, as you can see from how long I've tusselled with it! I love that you learn as you play, building up skills and gaining keys to deal with the more complex levels later on. And they do get very complex, with all sorts of stuff floating around to deal with. But that just leads to an even greater sense of achievement when the solution presents itself...sometimes surprisingly quickly, sometimes not. It feels very natural and, dare I say it, organic... and I will conquer that last level!
