About the Game

Tricolo is a 2D grid puzzle with just 9 squares, where you move three colors of pieces that interfere with each other in turn to guide them to the goal.

Gameplay

The goal is to move objects called pieces to the goal square.

Pieces must be moved in color order and cannot pass through each other.

When pieces become stuck or you run out of moves...

Within a limited number of moves, read the entire board and find the optimal play.

Gimmicks

As the game progresses, various gimmicks will appear.

There are no explanations for these gimmicks within the game. They are designed to be understood naturally as players solve puzzles.

The introduction of new gimmicks and their combinations will test players' creativity and adaptability.

A 9-Square Grid

Every puzzle in this collection fits within a compact 3×3 grid.

While seemingly simple, it features intricate designs that demand complex thinking within limited space.

It includes a wide range of puzzles, from quick challenges to high-difficulty ones requiring dozens of moves ahead.

We hope you enjoy this game, which fully embraces minimalism and simplicity!

Awards

Tricolo won the Grand Prize at the KONAMI-sponsored Indie Games Contest Student Championship 2025.

Tricolo has been selected as a finalist for the SHIBA GAME AWARD 2025 WINTER.
