'''●▲■''' (or '''マルサンカクシカク''', or '''Maru Sankaku Shikaku''', or '''Circle Triangle Square''' as it would be read in English) was an app created by [[Outside Directors Company]], P.R.O. Corp, and Creators Guild Company for ''iPhone'' mobile devices. It allowed users to create their own artwork in the style of [[Rhythm 'n' Face]] by dragging around circles, triangles, and squares, a process from which the app gets its name. It was first [[OSD310|advertised]] on 28 April 2010 and has since been discontinued. It was succeeded by [[KIMOKAWA]], a similar but less-complex app where users would create a base then drag-and-drop preset stickers onto it.

Draw Mode

Draw mode presents the user with a blank 16x19 grid, on which a design can be created. Directly below it is an assortment of color palettes that can be cycled through by swiping left or right. Tapping a color applies it to the currently selected shape. At the bottom of the screen are six buttons: "TOP," which returns to the main menu, "●," "▲," and "■," which are used to select the respective shapes, a copy button which duplicates the active shape, and "DONE," which allows the user to save their creation.
