Angularis – like Tetris, but based on triangles

Angularis is a game similar to Tetris, but based on triangles instead of squares. Which is why it also has diagonal movements. I had this idea about a month ago and built the game in my spare time. I think it is a bit more difficult compared to Tetris. You kind of have to get used to "think diagonally". Maybe it can be a nice little challenge for you. I'd be happy to receive some feedback. Thanks!

In plain words

Angularis is a puzzle game based on triangles rather than squares, featuring diagonal movements alongside standard gameplay mechanics. Similar to Tetris, players arrange falling pieces to clear lines, but the triangular geometry adds complexity that requires thinking in different spatial patterns. The game presents a more challenging experience than traditional square-based puzzle games, designed for players seeking a fresh take on the classic block-dropping formula.

    I made a puzzle game that gently introduces my favorite math mysteries2024 · rahulilango.com · ▲1,054

    This is the first iteration of a short game I’m making that tries to interactively explain some of my favorite math questions / ideas. My goal is mostly to get the player curious and not necessarily to explain absolutely everything. There were a lot of fun technical parts to building this: - For implementation reasons, it’s much easier if the lines all have integer intersection points with each other. To do this, when a new line is added I “cheat” by rounding intersections to integers and then splitting the old lines at the intersection into new linds (with potentially different slopes)…

    Hello HN! You can read this [1] blog post if you want to know more about some ideas that I have for this thing. This is just an experiment right now, there isn't any real game (yet). Any feedback would be appreciated, do you think this could become something that would be fun to play? [1] https://unit520.net/posts/dead-trees-an-absurdist-block-layi...

    I posted once before but wanted to share again because a lot has changed. There's now a fairly strong bot to play against (contributed by a community member) and also correspondence games. The combination of these things helps a bit in finding people to play against.

    I made a puzzle game with Three.js2023 · thomasfriday.com · ▲82

    A while ago I discovered three.js, a JavaScript library to manipulate 3D objects. It looked really interesting, but I had no real need for it... To change that I recently challenged myself to make one 3D web game per month with three.js. And I just release game #2, a puzzle game called Cuboid, and you can try it here: https://www.thomasfriday.com/cuboid/ Please let me know if you have any questions or feedback. Thanks!
