Beware our fellow readers; pdasnews.com has got for you the first exclusive review of Trigna from CrazySoft folks. Let’s start from the beginning: What the heck ‘Trigna’ means? The developers say this comes from the Greek word ‘Trigona’ (yes… without the ‘o’) which in the first place means ‘triangles’. I can verify that this is the case in this game, it’s all about triangles. Click here to read the full review.
Our verdict:
Congratulations to the CrazySoft team for a fantastic original game. I can’t be mistaken because I am stuck on my phone since I started playing and I can’t help it! I believe we have something great here guys; maybe a ‘trigna’ mania is rising…

"Trigna is the latest trend in puzzle gaming. CrazySoft team is back, with a completely new, addicting and clever mind game. The Tile 'Trigna' derives from the Greek word 'Trigona' which means 'triangles', and this is what the game is about: making triangles...
• Gameplay
The objective of the game is to make triangles. Make triangles by clicking three marks of the same color. You only have some seconds until each round is over. Check the time meter. Try to make as many different triangles as possible in each round. Try all possible combinations you can think of. But remember: You cannot use marks of different colors and you cannot make the same triangle twice. Also don't choose marks that are in a straight line." Check this GREAT game here:

"VisualBoyAdvance for webOS has come a long way since it was started on January 14th. For those unaware, VisualBoyAdvance (VBA) is an opensource Gameboy, Gameboy Colour and Gameboy Advance emulator available for numerous operating systems. DtzWill, with the aid of people at WebOS-Internals, has sucessfully ported and enhanced it for webOS. It's up and available now in Preware. If you're interested in trying it out, be sure to read though the wiki page thoroughly. The wiki lists all the current keybinds you'll ever need. And if you don't like the default keybinds, you can customize them in-program as you see fit. Currently, all Gameboy/Gameboy Colour games work 100%, though Gameboy Advance games still have some speed issues. Generally, turning off sound (orange+z) will improve framerate. Also, it's recommended to enable auto-save (orange+a) so if you close VBA or VBA crashes (unlikely) you'll be able to go right back from where you left off." via precentral.net
