Dropout Games have quickly developed a reputation for beautiful minimalistic puzzle games, and their emphasis on accessible gameplay that becomes deceptively difficult is one that suits mobile gaming to a tee. Last year the developers released Blyss ($1.99), which layered an ethereal aesthetic similar to indie hit Firewatch on top of an intuitive dice puzzle mechanic, and in practice it worked rather well. To keep up this momentum, Dropout Games have announced their latest title called Neo Angle, and while its vibrant neon style contrasts that of their previous title, the peculiar pattern-making gameplay looks incredibly cathartic. Not too many details have been released about Neo Angle as of yet, however the developers are looking for beta testers to help try out the game on our forum thread.
Despite not divulging information on gameplay or content for the title at this relatively early stage, the preview gifs give a good idea of the sort of puzzle gameplay that can be found within Neo Angle. Through manipulating an isosceles triangle around a map, you’re tasked with filling in a skeleton of a shape without going back on yourself. However, teleportation triangles and other quirky tiles can either get in the way as obstacles, or serve to aid your triangular protagonist in making it around the peculiarly shaped templates and painting the world in neon. Neo Angle is still firmly in development and so no release date has been specified as of yet, however stop by our forum thread for further details as they break, and sign up for the beta to catch an early glimpse of Neo Angle in action.
Whattttt... 3,33years and I still can't get past 1536
87,945 for me - though I also have a score of 177,642 from when there was a temporary bug which made the game way easier.
Wow I didn't know so many still enjoy Threes!
For me, some annoying bugs like 30 seconds of freeze that happens each time a game ends and a disappearance of the option for status bar kept me away some time ago :'(
I never had that freeze. What device are you on? It took forever to load on my old 4s before they updated it.
iPhone 6s. The freeze might be coming from my 35k times of playing though.
The video won't play?
It didn't work for me in the TouchArcade app, but when I looked in Safari it worked.
Didn't play for me either
Wow! I still have fond memories of being absorbed by Threes! the summer I spent on Cape Breton. 💙💚💛
Wait what was the number?
Video won't play...
Wow lol that's pretty crazy. I've never gotten anywhere close to that.
Hate that headline, so clickbaity.
An unfortunate side of clickbait-y titles is that they usually work.
Sorry about that. The intention behind the vagueness was less about baiting and more that I didn't want to ruin the surprise for anyone who didn't want to know. I hope you understand and appreciate that I don't usually write headlines in that sort of way. You can tell because next to no one clicks on 99% of what I write here!
Big ups to that guy.
Apparently, other people have found this out much sooner and just didn't get any coverage.
Yeah, I've seen that now. In my defense, even the game's creators thought this was the first.
