Guess My Triski, “Triski” inspired by this year’s game jam’s theme, is an engaging and challenging guessing game where players must solve puzzles by uncovering hidden numbers on a game board. The ultimate goal is to find the elusive Number 13 among a series of randomly generated numbers. Each level presents a grid of circles, each hiding a unique number. Players click on these circles to reveal the numbers, hoping to uncover the Number 13 before running out of guesses or, in competitive mode, before the AI does.
\nThe game features multiple modes:
\nThis is a point-and-click game, however, when in “Competitive” mode, this becomes a turn-based game.
\nNOTE FROM THE DEVELOPER: PLEASE Refresh your browser after playing in “Challenge” mode. There is an annoying bug that seems to creep up and I’m yet to fix it.

\nThe turn based version of the game adds another element which is fun.
\nNot sure what the 3 different levels related to, as they just appeared to be different sized diamonds?

Yes, the levels were meant to be as you’d expect from Easy to Difficult. I just wanted another name for it instead of the obvious. Unfortunately it was all I had time for. Wanted to implement the Star puzzle as well, but I decided to do that post game jam.

Adding some puzzle elements, like having the number 13 change positions or other dynamic features, could make the gameplay more engaging and enjoyable!

You should move the “Story” button up to the top. On my first playthrough, I assumed that the numbers were random. After learning about “figurate numbers”, I realized there is a pattern and you can use strategy. I love a game that teaches me something! Nice job!

\nThanks, yes, I do intend on making more educational games.
A really nice number theory based game! I would have loved to see all the remaining dots revealed once I find 13, just so I could see how correct my guesses were.
\nI think there’s quite a lot of potential with this mechanic, like making the player try to find multiple numbers that follow a pattern, while avoiding others, kind of like minesweeper.
\nNice game!

\nI was hoping the game would have some sort of logic or puzzle behind finding the number 13, but it seems that the number is just randomly hidden and the numbers around it are also random. Without any sort of clue or puzzle the game just boils down to randomly clicking until you find it.

\nAt some point I noticed a knight-move pattern between successive numbers and other reviewers suggested a hidden pattern to guess. Then I checked the code to discover it is truly random.
\nThe background story is interesting, could have led to a richer game. For further developments maybe ? Also, the difficulty menu is buggy, the options are displayed on the bottom left – offscreen.

\nThe graphics are simple yet good enough for a static game like this.\nThe concept is very interesting, never saw it before!\nIt does feel a bit random, but I guess some people will like it more than others!
\nA little tutorial in-game would be cool I think, just a small reminder “here’s what you need to do” for those who jump directly into the game.
\nWell done!

\nI would have loved to get hints to the hidden 13, not only luck based clicking. But good job on completing your game and keeping it below 13 kb (7 kb, in fact! )
