I don't get it.
I really like the physics and all that, but it moves too slowly, it's hard to maneuver and I can't figure out the object of the game. I don't know if this is my fault or not, but regardless, i just plain don't get it.
Reviews for "Tri-achnid"
Unique.
Very interesting..... pretty good time waster also.
excellent game idea, just too slow
First of all, AWESOME game idea, and kudos for making this. The creature is really cute and you really feel like you want to help it survive. =)
However, I'm playing it on a 1.5 ghz p4 computer and its a pretty choppy...
You know what though... I've seen these elastic physics-based creatures before and they played really smoothly... I think the reason is beacause, in those ones, there are no backgrounds and if there was one it wouldnt pan around, which is whats probably making this game really slow.
So I would suggest two fixes:
1. Convert this SWF into a hardware accelerated (DirectX) game. I think there is a good converter out there that can do that.
2. OR... Keep in in Flash, but instead of panning the background, just have screen-to-screen transitions. I know this would be tricky in this case because theres 3 feet to control/ move around, but it would definitely fix the lag/choppiness if you could find a way to do it this way.

This game is one of, if not THE BEST I have ever played.
The graphics were detailed. 10.
The style was very original. 10
The sound was...fitting. The sounds of the Tri-achnid crying were...appropo, to say the least. 9.
The violence was there, you just had to find it. (Eat those Glom) 7.
The interactivity can be summed up in 2 words. Holy $#@!. 10 wasn't enough.
The humor was subtle, so it gets a 3. Subtle, as in...."Wow....I just slammed my sac into my head so hard I killed myself," or "Mmmm, those tadlings sure taste good."
Waiting for the next part may be the most rewarding experience ever.
A 10.
Excellent.
This game was very well made. I really liked the whole atmosphere, as well as the design of the creatures, and the music, which was very fitting. The controls were kinda confusing and difficult to get a handle of, but it was still a great game. Keep up the good work.
