Threes Game Review (AOD #171)

Threes






Hey guys! Today we will check out Threes, available on Android and iOS, made by Asher Vollmer and Greg Wohlwend. This block sliding game is one of the best puzzle games out there today. Slide blocks to add numbers together in order to merge blocks. The numbers must be the same to be merged, however the first two are One and Two and create a Three. Once the box is full of blocks that cannot be merged you lose.   


"This block sliding game is one of the best puzzle games out there today."


The idea is simple, but in order to get a high score you must play carefully and take each new block into consideration. The controls consist of swipes in four directions, up, down, left and right. With each swipe identical block merge into a new number and a new block appears from the direction you swiped. This process is repeated until no more blocks can be merged. Everything flows seamlessly with Threes, the voices, the music and the sound effects compliment the game perfectly.


 "...the voices, the music and the sound effects compliment the game perfectly."


I found myself playing again and again, trying to achieve a higher score even when I knew from the very beginning that I was bound to lose. Threes is the kind of game that will make you lose track of time and put a smile in your face each time you merge blocks. I would definitely recommend purchasing Threes, it is money well spent.



SCORE: 4.5 OUT OF 5
