Tetryon (1.99)
USER REVIEW
Version 1.0
REVIEW – “If you like puzzle games, this is worth the money.”
Tetryon is a puzzle game – match up the symbols. Unlike bejeweled, you start with an empty field, and fill it with little hieroglyphic symbols. In a set-esque move, you need to match symbols on color and shape, or line up non-matching shape but same color to chain larger strings together.
Each level has a goal – from a number of reactions (the name for a match) to the number of points, or even some special 5-in-a-row. As you progress level to level, both the number of symbol shapes and colors increase, and the board goes from a simple 4×4 grid to more complex shapes with spots blocked out.
There are three different “worlds”. Each world has it’s own set of levels, symbols, and general look and feel.
The game is targeted at spending a few minutes working on a puzzle – and the levels are puzzles. You need to think carefully about the placement of each symbol, and it takes multiple tries as I’ve gotten to the harder levels. I’ve only made it halfway through the second world, and they are tough!
Overall, well worth it the $1.99. Bounces between just hard enough and frustrating for me, which is perfect. If you like puzzle games, this is worth the money.

DEVELOPERS NOTES
Tetryon is a visually stunning, fun, fiendishly challenging puzzle game designed specifically for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
Manipulate glowing glyphs on an increasingly challenging series of game boards. Place them correctly to produce reactions, scoring points and clearing space on the board. Glyphs of the same color but different shapes can be bracketed, then later used in a large chain reaction. Use volatiles as wildcards to get out of tight spaces or make multi-color reactions. The combinations are endless!
At first glance, it may look like casual puzzle games you’ve played before – Bejeweled, Trism, or Aurora Feint. But it also offers deep strategic elements that will tickle your mind and challenge your intellect. Like Go or chess, it’s easy to learn, but difficult to master.
Features:
- 62 levels, starting trivially easy and ramping up to devilishly difficult
- 75 glyphs and 10 volatiles for 85 distinct game pieces
- Three worlds (Prototype, Kemetic, Bitcrush) each with their own visual theme and level progression
- Intuitive drag-and-drop controls
- Unique, other-worldly graphics and sound
- Animated tutorials (can be skipped or replayed later)
- Play for 3 minutes or 3 hours!
