If you’ve gotten hooked to the popular 2048 game, it only means you have not yet discovered the original game where it was patterned after. As a matter of fact, 2048 was a clone of another clone and another– an endless cycle of duplicates that have tried to copy the gameplay of the original game.
Called Threes! iOS app, the game has been developed by a triad of developers, all of which have are no longer new to the industry. Knowing the amount of success gained by the previous games of the developers (Puzzlejuice, Ridiculous Fishing, Hundreds, Mass Effect 2, and Black Ops 2), there’s no doubt that they have created a game that would spiral into overnight success.
Launched as a sliding puzzle game, Threes! is a challenge game where you need to score as much as you can. The trick is that you need to slide these numbers into multiples of 3. When you open the app, you’ll come across a grid with a few numbered tiles. The first thing you need to do is combine 1 and 2 so you can form 3. The next tiles will require you to combine similar numbers divisible by 3. The higher up you move, the better your score will be.
The trick in playing Threes! is that you need to strategize your move so you don’t get stuck. Your actions include moving tiles up, down, left, and right. As soon as there aren’t any moves left, that’s the time the game is over. And what you’re left with is a yearning to try your luck over again– urging you to score better from your previous result.
The good thing about playing the game is that it continues on and on as you try to reach a better score. However, you have to be careful with how you strategize your movements so you don’t end up getting stuck with a tile that you can no longer move. When this happens, you’ll want to try again.
Threes! iOS app is available as a download for $1.99. It is compatible with iOS devices running on iOS 6.0 or later. Be warned, it can get pretty addictive.
