If we think that Tetyron is just another puzzle game, then we are badly mistaken. It may be one among many in the genre, but Boomslang Games has added its own knack to make this game quite a novelty on its own. I never knew that playing with glyphs, as the game pieces are called in Tetryon, would be so much fun.

The first thing that strikes us about Tetryon is the fantastic graphics. It looks slick with a scientific edge to it. The basic premise of the game is quite simple, but it gets more complicated and interesting as added features are thrown in along the way. Arranging three similar glyphs on the game board creates a reaction and makes them disappear from the screen. But we cannot arrange them in just any random order but put the third piece in the middle.

When the glyphs are identical in color but not shape, they get bracketed, and can cause a lengthy chain reaction. Then there are the volatiles that can help us get out a dicey situation, for they can complete a reaction of different colored glyphs.

The game controls work in a simple drag-and-drop movement. There are three worlds to conquer – Prototype, Kemetic and Bitcrush – and we have to clear them in succession. Tetryon offer us 72 levels, so that spells a lot of reactions to create. Every level has an objective that we have to fulfill to clear the level. And there is a variety of 85 game pieces to play with; an amazing array of 75 glyphs and 10 volatiles.

Tetryon has a tutorial to guide us through each of the levels, and we can always skip it if we don’t need the assistance. One interesting bit about the current version of the game is that the developers have changed the graphics to make it colorblindness-friendly. I like that, plus a lot more about Tetryon. I am not going to put down this game for quite some time to come.
