Yes. Mine was corrupted too. Since i just overwrote the old install-file, i downloaded the linux-version. The lightnin.wav there seems to be ok .
HTH,
tschenz
I didn't even like tetris :P But i can't stop playing the demo of Triptych™
And yes i did reach the level limit and am counting the seconds until I receive the e-mail with my registration code. I payed through pay-pal.. maybe that makes it take longer *shrug*
Anyway, you've created another classic game... my hat's off to you!!!!
ps. santa cruz rules, i used to live there
So - at least I'm on position 4 then. Do you have the EASY/MEDIUM scores too? Would be interesting because i like to play the easy game, as it lasts longer and the points get higher and higher and higher ... just right to 560k
(UPDATE) UH ... ####... that are the expert-scores :|. My best expert score is still 17k... *G* ... will go and play triptych the whole night now ;).

*is curious how long it took yours to arrive in e-mail and what payment method you used*
*understands if it's confidential*
:biggrin:
If you want to check out some of Chronic Logic's high scores for Triptych, check out http://www.chroniclogic.com/highscore.html. Remember, we've been playing it for awhile, so don't get discouraged .

*focuses sights on level 12*
*envisions himself passing 300,000 points*
Cute game =D I like
I suppose I will have to make do with the demo version =/
Money is scarce.
Anyway, the pic above is significant because I let my brother play and he succesfully managed to get the red piece to balance on top of two other red pieces without charging up. =D

just curious........
I've found a bug - You know those pieces which are three-of-the-same color and are charged up right from the start? Well, it is possible to press spacebar to "drop" those pieces when parts of them are still over the red line.
This in itself is not the bug - However, if the next piece in line has a tile the same color as the previous pre-charged piece, AND overlaps the area where the pre-charged piece was when you hit spacebar, that tile also starts charged up.
Its a minor annoyance, and it happens like in 1/1,000,000 (I should know, I've been playing this demo nonstop for a long time now and its occured only once for me ;) ) but I thought you people would like to know.
BTW, my high score for the demo is 49025 on Hard, with a High Bonus of 1300. Pretty nifty, considering I get three measly levels to work with. =P There's usually never enough time to get anything more than 30k. Screenshots forthcoming, as soon as I have access to my web host again.
Edit: Spoke too soon, my high score is now 56500, with a High Bonus of 1400 ;P

The only 'problem' I have noticed is that sometimes blocks that look like they're touching don't energize until squeezed together properly - maybe the 'sensivity' should be increased a little bit...?

P.S. I guess it was the wrong forum for this topic ;)

I'm colorblind to red and green (Don't know the correct word in english, sorry) and have therefor serios problems to tell the green and yellow bricks apart.
So what's really needed in Triptych is a option to select the color-scheme of the brick manualy.
Apart from that: COOOL Game

Also, I can imagine an 'enhanced' game mode with special blocks/powerups, for example if you manage to fill the bonus bar completely, a (controllable) 'ball lightning' could appear that energizes multiple blocks of the same color even if they are a short distance apart...
Additionally . the block textures should be put in a .bmp file so that the player can replace them with his own.
