You won’t regret purchasing Threes! which is well worth its introductory $1.99 price. My problem is I tend to go all spazzy-rapid-fire instead of taking my time since there’s no time limit. There’s strategy involved to achieve a high score and the game’s controls allow you to preview your moves before you make them with a half swipe. Your high scores are saved and prominently displayed right in your face, urging you to play again. I have been glued to the game all weekend trying to top my measly high score of 3,375. Threes has a great soundtrack and is a satisfying game that keeps you coming back for more. Every other concept or theme was thrown out in deference to the original idea of matching tiles in multiples of three. The visual information needed to be clear and readable. It needed to be small, simple and easy to understand. That year-long journey of adding mechanics and art for testing, only to strip them away and get back to the core game again and again wasn’t wasted the amount of testing and failed experiments gave them a sense of purpose and clarity when it came to the final game.
The game resisted complexity because it was such a small game, it was four by four grid, and numbers, and just the four directions. “It looks like the entire time we were striving for simplicity and minimalism, and that’s not true at all,” Wohlwend said. In an interview with Polygon, the team says it spent a year to perfect their puzzle game: Threes! was developed by three people: Asher Vollmer, Greg Wohlwend and Jimmy Hinson.
