About Squarepinski

Squarepinski is a puzzle game where every piece shares the same triangular shape but varies in size. Developed by Dotwo Games and released December 1 2025 it plays like a minimalist jigsaw with a clever twist. You’ll slot identically shaped triangles into increasingly complex patterns guided by soft piano music and crisp hand-drawn art. The game thrives on simplicity and repetition across 100+ levels. It’s a single-player experience designed for slow thinking with no time limits or penalties. Best suited for fans of chill challenges who enjoy methodical problem solving over frantic action.

Gameplay

Each session revolves around rotating and placing triangles to fill a grid. Early puzzles teach scaling, larger pieces block smaller ones so placement order matters. Later levels introduce multi-layered designs where depth perception becomes key. The lack of color or texture clues forces you to focus purely on geometry. Sessions usually last 10, 30 minutes with optional save points. Controls are straightforward, left-click to place right-click to rotate. The difficulty ramps slowly but some late-game puzzles require precise spatial reasoning. Background music loops gently without intruding.

What Players Think

PlayPile users rate Squarepinski 4.6/5 based on 12,300 reviews. 78% complete the full campaign with an average playtime of 18 hours. 91% of critical reviews call it “charming” though 15% cite “repetitive” later stages. Community moods lean relaxed (68%) and focused (32%). One top review says “Frustratingly simple yet oddly addictive.” Achievement completion sits at 82% with 45 total trophies averaging 2 hours to unlock all. Critics note the $19.99 price tag offers “strong value for casual puzzle fans.”

PlayPile's Take

Squarepinski delivers exactly what it promises, a calming geometric puzzle loop. It’s not impressive but its clean design and steady challenge curve make it a solid 15-hour investment. Skip if you crave complexity or competition. At under $20 it’s a safe buy for fans of Tetris Effect or The Witness’ quieter moments. The 45 achievements add replayability but don’t overcomplicate things. Recommended for rainy afternoons or as a mental palate cleanser between bigger games.
