Re: Show HN: Angularis – like Tetris, but based on triangles
#22Feels a bit too hard, I've only managed to clear one line. Building straight lines out of triangles seems hard, there are so many overhang pieces. Not saying it needs to be easier but I might need some help to get started.
If the pieces could be rotated by 45° that would help I think?

#23I love it and hate it at the same time, I couldn't clear a single line :) Those green blocks are evil.
I like your sound design choices to use drum machine samples.

#24I played it a little bit and I felt like murdering someone ;) Simple reason. I am very decent Tetris player as to me it is a form of meditation. And hot key to rotate that shape is hardwired by now. So to me this has completely spoiled what could be a decent game.

#25Fun game. Cleared two lines! Green blocks are evil indeed.
An annoying thing is that the apparent buttons on the left don't work since a mouse click rotates the block instead. I needed to mute the browser tab because I couldn't click on the sound button.

#26Nice idea! Only two annoyances are the vertical scroll that up-down keys mess with and that the up key doesn't the thing like it does on normal tetris.

#27Nice, looking forward to the NYT acquisition.

#28Surely "Tritris," by analogy with "Tetris."
Re: Show HN: Angularis – like Tetris, but based on triangles
#29There was a game very much like this on the NES called Pyramid[1], and it is notoriously difficult/painful to play, though a lot of the pain is in the repetitive score.
It also had a very wide playfield though, which made clearing lines take for EVER. Playing well also involves making good use of bombs to fix mistakes, because a big problem with this as a concept vs. normal tetris is that it's possible to make unfixable gaps.

#30I got up to 4 cleared. I think with some more time I could find some patterns to reuse. Where to place pieces is really unintuitive and requires some thought (but of course there is no time to think).
