I’ve been obsessed with Trism. More specifically, with one of the game variations in it, Syllogism.

Trism is a really fun app for the iPhone. It’s not new or anything; it has been around awhile apparently. The goal of syllogism is to get rid of all of the triangles in as few moves as possible. A couple of months of this and I’ve gotten it down to as few moves as I can: 14 under par. I can’t see any way to get it lower, but maybe someone else has some suggestions…

Although I’m including my solutions, I encourage you to try it on your own. Use the walkthrough sparingly if you must. I understand how maddening it is when you can’t figure a level out (I’m looking at you, Blackhearted) so if this helps, great. If you have a better solution to a level let me know!

SPOILER ALERT!!

Walkthrough:

Here’s how I completed each of the 30 levels of Syllogism to get to -14 -15 -17!(see comments):

1. DR
2. DL
3. DL – L
4. UL(2) – DR(2) *the number in parens means let the triangles continue to slide after the first group is eliminated
   
5. DR – UR – L
6. DR(4) – DL(4)
7. L(2) – DR – L
8. UR – L
9. R – DR – DL
10. L – UR – DR
11. DL – UL – DL
12. DR – L – UL – UR
13. UR – L – DL
14. UR – DR – DL – UL – UR
15. L – UL – UR – L – DL – DR – UR
16. L – UR – R – UR(2)
17. DR – DL – UR – UL – UR – DR – DL – DR – DL DR – DL – UR – UL – UR(2) – UL – UR – R (thanks Newbie!)
18. L – DL – UL – R – DR(2) – UR
19. UR – UL – DL – DR – R
20. UL – UR – DL – R
21. R – L – DR – DL – R – UR – L – UL
22. DR – DL(2) – R(2) – DR
23. DL – L – UL – UR – R – UL – R – DR – R – DR – UR – DR
24. R(2) – UR(1) – DR *the 1 in parens means DO NOT continue the slide after the blocks are eliminated
25. UR – UL – DL – UL – UR – DR(2) – L
26. DL(2) – DR(1) – DL – DR – UR – UL
27. L – UR(1) – UL(2) – DL(2) – R – DL
28. DL(1) – UL(1) – DL – DR – R – DL
29. L(1) – UR – L – UR(2) – R(2)
30. L – UL – UR – UL – UR – DR(2) – DL – R – UR – L – UR

For whatever reason, 18 was particularly hard for me. It took forever to get past that level. But once I had the solution it seemed really simple. Also, 29 took some work to get it below par. I had it at 7 for the longest time then I stumbled on the 5-step solution almost by accident.
