How to play, and answers to common questions.

Controls

◀ / ▶: Move the men in Stage 1, catch the flashing triangle in Stage 2, or pick a letter on the initials screen. Also works via hardware arrow keys or by tapping the left/right half of the screen.
START: Start or resume the game, confirm an initial, or start a new game from the high-score table.
PAUSE / RESET: As labelled.

How to play

Stage 1 — build the pyramid. A UFO patrols the top of the screen and drops triangles. Move your line of men left and right to catch each one and lock it into the pyramid. Missing a triangle costs a life.

Stage 2 — the bonus stage. Once the pyramid is complete, catch the flashing triangles back out of it — inner ones first, then the outer ring from the top down — before time runs out on each one. Faster catches score more points.

Every 100 points earns a bonus life (look for the "+1 LIFE" banner). Clearing a bonus stage advances the level, and each level runs a little faster than the last.

Common questions

The game feels difficult and I keep losing lives — is that expected? Yes: LIVES starts at 10, and a dropped or missed triangle costs one. The game is meant to have the same bite as the original 1980s LCD watch game it's based on.

Where are my high scores saved? On your device only, in the Top‑8 table shown after a game ends. They are not backed up to iCloud or any server, so reinstalling the app clears them.

Does the app need an internet connection? No. Pyramid works fully offline and never makes a network request.
