A puzzling puzzle game about the beauty and joy of infinitely tapping on TRIANGLES for some reason. With an elegant innovative revolutionary TRIANGLE-first approach to interface, YANKAI'S TRIANGLE lets you tap on TRIANGLES to spin them and stuff. Colors play a part in gameplay too I think. Bring TRIANGLES to a forgotten TRIANGLE, and uncover a TRIANGLE hidden deep beneath the YANKAI. • Pretty Fun Gameplay (it's all right) • No Filler - A Veritable Infinity of Meticulously Definitely Handcrafted TRIANGLES • Over 1.74 x 10^26 Possible Levels (all definitely handcrafted) • Color • An Inscrutable Three-Pronged Scoring System • A 'Happy Sounds' Option (woohoo!) • A 'Colorblind' Option if You Are Colorblind (it's not great tbh) • A Cool Film Grain Effect (some people don't like it but i think it's cool) • A Cool Tiled TRIANGLE Background Effect • Also there are Leaderboards • And some Achievements A Game By Kenny Sun (YAN rhymes with KEN and KAI rhymes with EYE by the way) Information Seller:Kenny Sun Genre:Arcade, Puzzle Release:Nov 02, 2016 Updated:Nov 30, 2016 Version:3.9.27 Size:55.6 MB TouchArcade Rating: User Rating: (8) Your Rating:unrated Compatibility:HD Universal TheGreatEscaper Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2014 1,025 22 38 #2 TheGreatEscaper, Nov 5, 2016 What an odd game. It's certainly not very difficult so far, but the mechanic has a few interesting variations upon the usual edge matching games. I'm waiting for something special to happen, though. If it just keeps going the way it's going I can see this not holding my interest for very long. Im hoping there's a sort of twist. I still am not sure what the configurations of triangles and half triangles that show up before each level mean. TheGreatEscaper Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2014 1,025 22 38 #3 TheGreatEscaper, Nov 5, 2016 Ohhhhhkayyyy while I haven't encountered any big twist, there are a lot of new mechanics being introduced. In conjunction these mechanics could make some really tricky puzzles. It's definitely upping up the difficulty factor. Stick with this game for about 70-80 puzzles and things will start to get very interesting. It's from the Circa Infinity dev so I knew I wouldn't be disappointed! Valentia Well-Known Member Patreon Gold Jan 20, 2009 618 1 18 Female Retired! California #4 Valentia, Nov 7, 2016 I just discovered this one, and am very glad I did. I find it fascinating. There's something hypnotically soothing about fiddling with the triangles until they pop into place. It's very pleasant to look at, too, which always gets big points from me. AppUnwrapper Well-Known Member Oct 26, 2011 4,062 3 0 http://www.appunwrapper.com/escape-games/ #5 AppUnwrapper, Nov 7, 2016 Really enjoying this one. The progression seems a little uneven, but there's something really satisfying about clicking those triangles into place. Love the music and sound effects! Just hit level 44 and looks like I have to put more thought into it, pay more attention to the outer triangles before I start messing with the inner ones. I wasn't sure about the timer at first, but seems like the leaderboard actually rewards you for finishing in *more* time, not less? Odd, but st least that means I can ignore it. Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel TheGreatEscaper Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2014 1,025 22 38 #6 TheGreatEscaper, Nov 7, 2016 I'm very addicted, almost at 200 levels solved. I think the way the levels are formatted is that they sort of reach 'climaxes', huge levels that might contain several mechanics that you've seen so far in conjunction, then return to easier levels and start growing in size and complexity. It really draws you in to keep solving just another level. Love love love this game now, no question about it. While it does seem to be an endless game with elements of random generation (which I usually dislike) it still seems to have a sense of progression even 200 levels in. There's still a few mechanics that I've seen in 'tutorial' levels but haven't encountered in big tricky levels yet, looking forward to seeing them as part of bigger puzzles.

If there's an infinite number of levels, I'm in trouble. And omg the soundtrack. The creepy "tick tock tick tock." So good! TheGreatEscaper Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2014 1,025 22 38 #8 TheGreatEscaper, Nov 7, 2016 Ahaha I feel the exact same way. I just unlocked the 243 levels completed achievement and am still going strong. I got my first bigger level with the hollow triangle mechanic and that one is super tricky, I hope it starts popping up a bit more!! So far the mechanics I've seen are symbolised by the following: - A black triangle in the middle of a triangle - A black square in the middle of a triangle - A triangle with sides full with coloured sections - Hollow colours on the triangles - A short fat triangle linked with other triangles (if you've seen it you'll know what I'm talking about) - Various 'distraction' mechanics such as rotating screen, pulsating triangles, colour changes, eyes and teeth sprouting on triangles. Has anyone seen any others? I think I remember seeing a kind of black hourglass symbol in one of the steam screenshots so I'd love to know if anyone's encountered any other mechanics. Especially since some of them are very rare (I encountered hollow triangles only twice so far, once in a very small puzzle, and once in a large very tricky puzzle). AppUnwrapper Well-Known Member Oct 26, 2011 4,062 3 0 http://www.appunwrapper.com/escape-games/ #9 AppUnwrapper, Nov 7, 2016 I just saw the hollow triangles but they weren't in any position yet to see what they do. Hopefully I'll get more with them soon. I'm pretty far behind you! lol I just got one where the triangles rotated counter-clockwise and it felt so weird. DonnyDJ76 Well-Known Member Nov 1, 2011 1,793 58 48 Male Teacher Hackensack, NJ #10 DonnyDJ76, Nov 7, 2016 I played this morning before work. Very interesting and addictive. I only played several puzzle but can't appear to find a level select screen so I can keep track. A lot of positive bias on my part- huge Circa Affinity and Infinity fan. TheGreatEscaper Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2014 1,025 22 38 #11 TheGreatEscaper, Nov 7, 2016 Last edited: Nov 7, 2016 There's a few where the triangles rotate anticlockwise, and the one I find the most offputting is where they rotate twice in a certain direction! There's some other really offputting things too such as when all the colours change when you change layers, or the whole screen rotates a multiple of 120 degrees when you change layers, it makes it hard to keep track of the multilayer deductions which start becoming super super important once you've reached the 3 digit levels! Is this a bit like a puzzle version of desert golfing where there's an element of random generation but everyone gets the same levels??? If so that's really cool, and given that this is the circa affinity dev I wouldn't be surprised if there are some unusual things happening further down the track, especially that hourglass mechanic which I've confirmed is in screenshots on steam and the devs website. I'm very curious as to what that one could possibly do... Whenever anyone reaches level 243 let me know if it had Spoiler basically all triangles which had fully coloured sides , just to confirm that everyone gets the same levels. AppUnwrapper Well-Known Member Oct 26, 2011 4,062 3 0 http://www.appunwrapper.com/escape-games/ #12 AppUnwrapper, Nov 7, 2016 I kind of like those color-changing stuff. So many levels, gotta keep us on our toes somehow. and the ones that rotate two triangles at a time -- also a nice challenge. I'm wondering about the randomness, too -- do we all see the same thing? It's hard to compare, especially since I don't see any way to revisit old levels. Also, GC has you at 91 levels --- are you logged in?

That's why I used level 243 as a level to compare. I was paying attention to level 243 (it's 3 to the power of 5) and it turned out to be a pretty characteristic level with all of those Spoiler triangles with colours all along their side , so it seemed like a good one to compare, if not a little bit late in the game! Edit: does anyone know what the Spoiler smiley toggle in the settings does? AppUnwrapper Well-Known Member Oct 26, 2011 4,062 3 0 http://www.appunwrapper.com/escape-games/ #14 AppUnwrapper, Nov 7, 2016 Other than the achievement, not sure what the smiley does. Just encountered a whole spinning level. OMG.

I think both Kenny's description and the one review on Steam that says the colorblind mode sucks are spot-on...the colorblind mode really isn't all that great. :/ AppUnwrapper Well-Known Member Oct 26, 2011 4,062 3 0 http://www.appunwrapper.com/escape-games/ #17 AppUnwrapper, Nov 7, 2016 I did turn that on for a second when playing with the settings, etc., and it seemed like it would be pretty awful to play that way. This is definitely a game that's heavily reliant on colors, and I can't imagine playing it without those colors. TheGreatEscaper Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2014 1,025 22 38 #18 TheGreatEscaper, Nov 7, 2016 @appunwrapper, I've currently solved 250 levels. Screencap a level at some point, and I'll screencap the same level number. That should settle things easily xD AppUnwrapper Well-Known Member Oct 26, 2011 4,062 3 0 http://www.appunwrapper.com/escape-games/ #19 AppUnwrapper, Nov 7, 2016 I think this is how 243 started for me: http://www.appunwrapper.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/img_4424.png TheGreatEscaper Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2014 1,025 22 38 #20 TheGreatEscaper, Nov 7, 2016 Ok, it's the same then, or very similar. Basically even going outwards it had alllll of those triangles with three little coloured triangles on each side (instead of just the corners). But since I didn't screencap it, it could be nice to get a tad more confirmation if you screencap level 260 or something like that. I wonder if Kenny's highscore is a special level.
