    SideSwype is a puzzler that takes inspiration from Threes, but becomes its own incredibly fun game.

    Ultimately, however, as a puzzle game fan, I find SideSwype scratches a very similar itch to Threes!, but doesn't do it quite so satisfactorily.

    A tactile combination of Threes! and match-three puzzler gameplay, SideSwype is perhaps a little too streamlined for its own good.

    SideSwype is a much-welcomed new perspective on a style of game that has quickly become over-saturated in the app store with me-too copycats.
