+ Added a "Last Score" leaderboard
+ Fixed submitting high scores to Game Center
Here are some screenshots of the game.
Love this game, it’s part strategy and part luck of the draw! I like that they are mostly quick little games that are challenging, keep you engaged, but don’t take up a whole lot of time. Only complaint is that I finally scored above 8,000 and it won’t update me on the leaderboard. Silly complaint, but what keeps me engaged is my rank, right now it’s only listing me with my score in the 3000’s, so all my strategies to get a higher score are somewhat pointless if I can’t go up in rank. Maybe just a small bug, but hopefully developers see this and check it out. Could also just be my account, but will boost to 5 stars when I can get properly ranked! ;)
First: this game is beautiful. The graphics are adorable and cute. The sounds and music are fun and well thought out. Unfortunately, the game is mostly based on luck. After playing for a very long time, I can take a look at my stats and see a constant distribution of scores over time — not an improvement. That’s not a failure to get better on my part — it’s the game. This SEEMS like a game of skill, and to a certain score level it can be, but it is largely controlled by luck. The gameplay “engine” / “AI” / “NPC” (whatever you want to call it) is super crummy and unforgiving. Maybe you’ll get four or five “1” or “2” cards thrown at you all at once, or a super high number card followed by a stack of low numbers. It doesn’t adapt to your gameplay or situation AT ALL. To make matters worse, there’s no game mechanics to help you out when you’re in a corner — no undo mechanism, no special moves… nothing. Not that it would need a special mechanic IF the gameplay “engine” was actually better. The developer seems to have abandoned the game too — except for showing up to cash out on an Apple Arcade deal — there haven’t ever been any updates… ever… at all… I’m terribly disheartened, because I want to love this game so much.
But can I play without the screen to sign my game — every game? Every game. I play offline I think that’s why it constantly asks. The games are over quickly. There is an added challenge of color tiles so games last about :90 seconds. Then add :15 or so seconds to swipe through the force sign-your-board screens, and then swipe through to get to a new game (called replay). It feels less like playing a game and more like (gasp!) work.
I how the game tells you the next tile you will get using the tiles color. But, the duration of each game/round are not long. My longest game was about 90 seconds long. The game is okay, as it is something to do. BUT!!!… the sound effects are just an absolute NO! I see a lot of other reviews mentioning how they can be turned off/disabled/muted. And yes they can be. BUT, that does not mask the fact that the sound effects are still annoying and a few sound very questionable. For example: Why is one of the sound effects of a person moaning?! Also, the sound effects obviously do not flow with the game at all, and some are uncomfortable and disturbing.
I like this game a lot. It looks great and the soundtrack is nice. I saw a few people complaining about the sounds, and I agree, but of course they can be turned off. A few things that would be nice to have would be a separate section for past scores, and an option to have most of the sound effects, but not the voices. I also noticed that I can’t seem to get the leaderboard to update. I’m not sure if this is a problem with the game itself or a Game Center problem. Anyways, thanks for making this!
It could be a lot of fun but this game is furiously frustrating. It’s really not worth playing. It changes it’s tactics in order to defeat you. If you’re into that before you start, you’ll have infinite hours of fun. It’s like you’re in the 12th round of a fight and you feel like you’re winning—just keep doing what you’ve been doing and then they put in a fresh fighter. Any time you have an advantage, it changes gameplay in order to beat you. Fun for a while but then feels like cheating. Try it, you’ll see—it’s inevitable.
This app kills the battery - biggest problem. At end of the game, it doesn’t just show you the score & let you move on. It takes several seconds to “add up” and display it. Then it’s several more swipes or taps to get out of that. I just tried this again after quitting it a few years, and I’m already playing the game less - too bad because the game is kind of fun. Past Review (Game Center Obnoxious and Eats Up Battery ) — It’s obnoxious the way Game Center constantly interrupts. I cannot find option or setting to stop this - not in app, not in Settings for app nor for Game Center. Also, this game eats up my ipad’s battery in no time.
I have to admit, initially figuring out how to play the game was hard, but once I figured it out I couldn’t stop. I’ve never played with the sound effects on, so not sure why so many complaints about the sound. Just turn it off. Would enjoy being able to see the highest score someone has received!
It’s like the ideal phone game. Easy to pick up and play for just a few minutes, rules and gameplay are very simple yet challenging. Sometimes reminds me of Tetris because of how they both have such fast, simple, and addictive puzzle gameplay.
This is my go-to zone-out game and then you up and changed the music, with no option to play with the original theme. UGH!!! No updates for three plus years, which is fine when the game is simple and still works perfectly, and now this with no warning and no good reason. Let people have things they enjoy without messing with them!
In Threes!, you slide tiles on a 4x4 grid to combine numbers that are multiples of three. Start by merging 1 and 2 tiles to form a 3, then combine two 3s to make a 6, two 6s to make a 12, and so on. Swipe up, down, left, or right to move all tiles in that direction, with a new tile appearing on the opposite side. The color of the incoming tile is shown onscreen, allowing you to plan your moves. The game ends when no moves are possible, and your score is calculated based on the tiles on the board. Focus on creating larger numbers while keeping the grid open to avoid getting stuck.
To excel at Threes!, prioritize keeping one side of the grid open to allow for flexible tile movement. Avoid clustering high-value tiles in one area, as this can limit your options. Pay attention to the incoming tile preview to plan your swipes strategically. For example, if a blue tile (1) is coming, position a red tile (2) nearby to create a 3. As the game progresses, balance creating high-value tiles with maintaining space for new tiles. Practice patience and avoid rapid swiping to maximize your score.

A:Threes! focuses on combining multiples of three on a 4x4 grid, with a preview of the next tile to encourage strategic planning. Unlike 2048, it emphasizes thoughtful moves over rapid swiping, and its charming tile personalities and soundtrack create a unique, engaging experience.
