Tetris's Ugly Cousin

Tringo is puzzle game for the Gameboy Advance. Your playfield is a grid 5x5 sqaures and on top of that grid is another display that shows your matching pieces to be placed on that grid. You have to make that piece fit along with the space available onto the grid. The empty space will have a certain shapes and your job is to figure out what piece will fit in that empty space. If the shape doesn't fit properly, you cannot place it on the grid at all and need to press the "A" button to skip to the next piece. You are only allowed to skip pieces ten times. If you skipped more than ten times, it'll be game over. The game is very similar to Tetris in some aspects. Your main goal is to fit puzzle pieces togther to make the other pieces dissapear, but Tringo is actually more difficult than Tetris because the clock ticks faster and it's difficult to concentrate on both the top and bottom display inside the games. What makes it worse is the strange feeling of trying to feel the empty space. I guess this is really what sets apart from all the other Tetris clones, but it is too difficult for kids to play and too strange for adults. If you want good puzzle games I recommend, "Klax", and "Bust a Move", both of which are available on the GBA.

Pros:
+good graphics
+good music
+good sound effects
+new twist in tetris

Cons:
-insanely difficult
-limited options
-very strange game
-no fun for kids
-adults won't like it either
-Tetris is still better
-no replay value

A pretty fun puzzle game that seems difficult to understand the first time or two you play, but then kind of clicks into place. After that the fun is in trying to out do yourself and split second strategize to use all the pieces and leave the board clear.

I've played the game for a while now and it's pretty addictive. Adding the puzzle part to Bingo makes the game pretty different from what's out there, and the overall game has a lot of value.

Extra fun for Nintendo DS Puzzle lovers!

I bought Tringo as I like puzzle games like tetris and the best part is that it is a Game Boy Advance game. It is the only GBA game I have so I keep it in my DS all the time and when I am tired with whatever DS game is in there, I can always switch over. It is challenging and doesn't require the stylus so gives your hand a break! As an adult and educator, I see this also has a great learning but fun game to help build math skills especially for geometry!
