The problem for the player is these keys are well hidden and eventually you're required to get access to the "tri" which allows the player to create triangles that allow them to climb and walk up walls to certain areas. This is easier said than done as the triangles cannot be too large, small or slanted in certain ways. To create proper triangles they must turn yellow to be used. If a triangle is constructed the wrong way it will turn …

genuinely solid puzzle game, deceptively simple, I've just come back to it after years

good

Can be a bit TRI'ing at time, but its a nice abstract world style puzzle game.
