700

Hi ozbargain!

I'm from Samurai Punk, a local indie game developer from Melbourne! We've released a new game today on Switch and Steam called "TRIOS - lofi beats / numbers to chill to"!

It's a minimalist maths puzzle game, that was designed to make maths puzzles fun and accessible to all. If you've ever thought "I'm not a maths person", this game is dedicated to you. We've found that the game is great for young kids and the elderly in particular, so it could be a fun game to play together with the family.

Thanks and please enjoy the game!

    Always love to support local indie game developers

    • Thanks, we love the grassroots support, every bit counts! :)

  • Good for you! I’ll jump on board too, see how the kids go with a different focus to their game sessions :)

    • Thanks, hope it goes well for them! My young cousins have loved it!

  • Good game! doesn't make me feel stupid at all!

    • Thank you! Haha, flex that brain!

    Samurai Punk are great folks! Screencheat is a really fun party game. I met one of the developers a few years ago at PAX when they were demonstrating Feather. Hung out with them in a line and chatted whilst I played Feather on their switch.

    Happily purchased this game.

    • I remember meeting you in line! It was a pleasure, hope to hang out again at future PAXes! And thanks for supporting this game too! :D

    This is really cool, nice little daily puzzle sort of thing. Gives me the vibes that you feel when you're playing Mini Motorway or something like that

    • Thanks, that's Mini Motorways is a great game, so that's high praise! ^_^ We designed our Infinite Mode so that you'll always have new challenges so there's a reason to come back regularly.

    Nice work! will check it out with the kids and also good way for me to do some mental gymnastics, cannot work out anything without a calculator these days!

    • Thank you! I know what you mean haha, I've been too Excel/calculator reliant as well the past few years but making this game got me back in touch with those old pre-calculator days. Hope you enjoy!

  • Hi… I just bought on switch. But it seems I can only play on handheld? It loads up fine in docked. Then asks me to do the 1 2 operator test, but the controls dont respond? Anyone else have this issue? Would love this game on Android :)

      Hey thanks for picking up the game! Seems like you hit a bug, sorry about that! For now, you could try:
      - Close the game. Dock the console, and then open the game while in docked mode.
      - Complete the tutorial in handheld mode. Close the game, and then dock the console re-open the game in docked mode.

      Hope that helps, we'll see what we can do about the bug!

      • Still cant get it to work unfortunately. Have sent you a DM. Also tried with an 8bitdo controller but no luck :(

        • Got it going. Maybe the switch needed a good nap :) thank you Winston

    A question about the Switch version, does the game use touch controls?

    • +2

      Yep, it does support touch controls! :)

  • Got it for switch, mate.
    Keep up the good work 🤘

        Quick review -

        Nice clean interface and my son(6years old) is loving it
        Thanks once again

        • Cheers

        • That's wonderful to hear! ^_^ Glad he's enjoying it!

  • Epic game. Chilling while exercising my brain. Highly recommended!

      Thanks brah <3

      • I'd be keen to see a future sequel with calculus too! With lots of dy/dx ("eksch")

        • hahah, that's the dream!

  • Purchased, it looks difficult for me but my kids should enjoy this.

    • Thanks, hope ya'll enjoy! :)

      • Is it possible for profiles to be made or implemented on PC?

        • Unfortunately not at this stage. :( Sorry about that.

  • Bought. Looks perfect for my son to help him with his Math. Is there a way to add users so both my son and I can play but at our own set difficulty?

    • +1

      Thank you! If you're on Switch, you can create a new user on the Switch. If it's on Steam, you'd have to make a different user and then do family sharing, which is a bit more complicated.

      What I'd recommend is playing the Infinite Mode, which will allow you to set a starting difficulty when you begin that session. It'll reset the difficulty when you close and re-open the game, so depending on who's playing you can set the challenge to whatever you'd like.

  • Looks really cool! Seems perfectly suited as a mobile game as a way to kill time commuting. Almost like the 'train game' where you need to choose the correct opperators/order to make the 4 numbers in a train carriage equal 10.

    Any plans to make a mobile version?

    • +1

      Thanks! In terms of a mobile version, we would like to, although the harsh reality is that it's realy hard to sell premium games on mobile, the market is dominated by free-to-play games. We'd love to do it, but we'd have to find a way for it to make financial sense for the studio. Playing the game on Switch + touchscreen is similar to a mobile experience though!

      • Understandable. Such a shame that economics work out that way as I tend to always forget my Switch when I would want to play something like this!

        • +1

          Thanks for understanding! We're still hoping for the possibility of mobile, so hopefully this version does well enough that we can invest into some mobile ports and marketing.

  • Supporting our local developers. Will get it for my boys.

    • Thank you so much! Hope your family enjoys it!

  • Thanks, I grabbed this and saw Roombo and Screencheat were on sale too so grabbed them as well. I've put Feather on my wishlist on Dekudeals for when it goes on sale (sorry I hate paying full price).

    • Grabbed Feather because it's on sale too.

      • Wooow, thanks so much for the overwhelming support! We hope you enjoy all the games! :D
