Trioncube, developed by Namco Bandai, sees the player take on the role of captain of the mighty space ship Penko and embark on a journey across eight planets to rescue the princess from the evil Hell Metal.

In order to successfully rescue the princess, players will have to create chains of 3×3 blocks to propel the space ship forward; create bigger chains and the ship will be propelled further.

In contrast to traditional block puzzlers where the objective is usually to clear the screen as quickly as possible, Trioncube encourages players to create a large chain of 3×3 blocks before the screen fills up or the chain clock runs out.

Trioncube is scheduled for release across Europe for Nintendo DS in June 2007.
