Description

"Trip'd" is an engaging puzzle video game developed for the Panasonic 3DO platform, released in 1995 by Warp, Inc. The game stands out with its unique twist on the falling block puzzle genre popularized by titles like "Tetris." In "Trip'd," players manipulate formations of colored alien creatures as they descend onto the playing field. The objective is to align these creatures in specific patterns based on their colors to cause them to disappear and score points. Unlike other puzzle games where the primary goal is simply clearing the blocks, "Trip'd" introduces an element of strategy by incorporating different alien behaviors and reactions, adding depth and a novel challenge to the formula.

The game is known not only for its addictive gameplay but also for its bright, colorful graphics and distinctively quirky audio that adds character and charm, enhancing the overall player experience. The inclusion of a two-player mode allows for competitive matches, increasing the game's replayability. Historically, "Trip'd" is notable for being among the fewer recognized titles in the 3DO's game library, a console that struggled to gain a large market share during the mid-1990s against giants like Sony PlayStation and Nintendo 64. Despite its limited commercial impact, "Trip'd" remains a cult favorite among classic game enthusiasts, appreciated for its unique take on the puzzle genre and its role in the eclectic mix of games that defined the 3DO experience.
