Disclaimer: While I'm pretty sure I received a key from the developer to review this game, I can't find any trace of such a thing happening. I suppose I'll find out once I publish this review. Tricone Lab is an original puzzle game, with a novel mechanic and subject matter. Tricone Lab is set in the inside of a cell (of an organism, not a jail), as you can tell by the screenshots, and it is this that gives rise to the gameplay. Players must use the tricone enzymes to create tricone molecules using one each of a red, green, and blue cone. (The game has a colourblind mode if you're colourblind.) Further, cell walls can be broken with breaker enzymes to allow the tricone molecules to pass; the interferer enzyme steals your cones, not allowing them to be linked to a tricone enzyme; and to counteract this, there is the builder enzyme, which builds walls. There are other mechanics, of course, but these should allow for a short explanation as to what the game is about. The control scheme is simple; just click and drag. The puzzles are nice, though I'm not entirely convinced that they explore the puzzle space very well. (Then again, I last played this game last year, so it's probably changed quite a fair bit since then, so why am I even writing a review?). Regardless, the unique theme that Tricone Lab brings to the table definitely forces one to think quite differently from most other puzzles, and for this I've put it into my list of recommended puzzle games. Also, the game has a level editor. Pretty sure it also has a catalogue of fanmade levels, though again, I forget. Man, I really need to review games just after I've played them. Hmm.

比较有特色的解谜游戏,没中文,不过里面英文也比较简单。 还是挺烧脑的,最后一关关键在于[spoiler]复制4倍道具[/spoiler]。 通过就全成就。
Does not have fullscreen mode. Now, borderless windowed (which the game features) would be enough, but ... its resolution list is limited. By far [b]most[/b] games list resolutions up to my 4K desktop (Windows 10, newest patches), but this one doesn't, max is something around 3000. So I have the choice to play with a window centered on my screen that either has borders or doesn't have borders. But no fullscreen. That's just too low tech, and the game isn't good/nostalgic/magical/whatever enough to warrant such a flaw. Refunded it.
楼上说的对, 这么有创意的解谜游戏不多见了, 推荐一个~
A challenging logic puzzle game. There are 5 levels of difficulty and the level is indicated for each puzzle. New bio-logic mechanics are introduced as you progress. Even though there is not much current activity in the discussion forum, Josh, the developer, still monitors it and has recently provided me with a hint at solving a puzzle I was having particular difficulties with. His hints are...cryptic...but then, you don't want the answers handed to you on a plate, do you? As another reviewer noted, a "gem" of a game.
Do you like those logic puzzles like, "Can you make four triangles with six toothpicks?" If you like logical deduction brainteasers and minimalist design, you might love Tricone Lab. It's very simple to learn, but difficult to master. Customizable, very unique, and challenging. Personally, I'm terrible at logic and math, and still managed to complete twenty of the puzzles before getting stumped. I appreciate a game that is difficult. I also appreciate how considerate the developer was towards people with disabilities in creating the game. The high contrast is visually accessible, and there is even a colorblind mode. Negatives? The game is a bit buggy, and is not cheap. If you're as bad at logical puzzles as I am, you may not even make it halfway through the game. Overall, though, I recommend this to anyone who loves logic puzzles and wants to support a talented independent developer. I received this game for free.
Though got a crash in first minute, the game works fine set to native res. A new approach to puzzles is really freshening. Fine interface for what is aimed, good atmosphre with the animation and music. No-brainer to get at discount if you generally like puzzles.
A great brain-melting gem! edit: my first playthrough time is ~8 hours
Very good puzzle game
