We were very pleasantly surprised to find out Trixel became a finalist entry in the Best App Ever Awards 2009, in not one, but TWO whole categories.

All the solutions for all the puzzles in the game.

It’s Trixel’s added layer of complexity that keeps you playing, and elevates it far above the simple tile swapping game it initially appears to be. Its addictiveness is found in its simplicity, with a thread of depth woven through its gameplay that keeps you playing until your knuckles cramp.

Prison Diet are the guys who provided music for Trixel. Frankly, we love their work and we think you should check out the range of stuff they’ve got going on in their music labs, where they store the fabled ‘audio hand job’.

To celebrate updating the game with our pain-reducing ‘FREEPLAY’ feature that lets you solve the puzzle past Bronze, we knocked the game down to a straight ONE DOLLAR for just one week! If you’re a little thin in the pocket, now’s the time to grab our game!
