Tricone lab is a puzzle game in which the goal is to connect three different colored cones into one tricone via a catalyst. Simply connect the pieces and you're done! Well, there are obstacles that make this a bit more difficult and tools you can use to circumvent them. The cell walls, borders, require carriers to carry each cone over or breakers to destroy the walls. These in term require their own parts to be connected to their own respected constructor catalysts and built before you can use them. There are more of these gadgets you can use, all of course after you build them, if there are enough resources floating around for that given puzzle of course.

Gameplay is well thought out and features an indirect approach to puzzle solving, requiring the player to gradually build up to the solution and crack the puzzle. Such a design choice equates to very satisfying and addictive puzzle solving.

Everything in the game is well presented to the player in a non obvious tutorial style so the player is familiar with every mechanic. Every map beaten awards the player with a key (and an achievement) representing their understanding of that mechanic. These keys are then in term used to access certain maps thus ensuring one can't play any puzzles using mechanics one does not understand.

Technically, the game runs fine and is without any performance issues. I did not run into any bugs. There is an easy to use level editor available and community designed puzzles can easily be downloaded and played. Artistically I did get tired of the grey and white color scheme quickly but for a one man dev team to accomplish such a well polished product, I can not complain. Took me 7 hours to beat the included 100 levels.

This is a hardcore puzzle game. Unique in every way, no story and no nonsense. The gameplay is fun, a bit addicting and the levels are very well designed. Can't go wrong with this one.
