   If you're a "real gamer" (i.e. pretentious knob) with a System Shock or Demons' Souls username who thinks that some games are more "relevant"If you're a "real gamer" (i.e. pretentious knob) with a System Shock or Demons' Souls username who thinks that some games are more "relevant" than others, and that a puzzle game about pushing tiles around to match numbers doesn't qualify as a "proper" game, Threes may not be for you.
   
   If you break out in hives at the sight of cute cards that smile and make silly voices, Threes may not be for you.
   
   If you love simple, easy-to-learn hard-to-master, tremendously elegant, deceptively strategic puzzle games (e.g. Tetris, Lumines, Puyo Pop, Triple Town), and you have a few bucks to spare, Threes is definitely for you. I'd probably recommend it to anyone looking into game design, too.… Expand

When I purchased it I found a game with a simple yet fun premise and some of the best music I've heard in an ios game. This game is worth every cent I paid for it.… Expand

   A very cool and original concept perfectly executed in a mobile game, that's rare these days. It has a very nice looking art style, nice musicA very cool and original concept perfectly executed in a mobile game, that's rare these days. It has a very nice looking art style, nice music and just generally good sound design. I actually feel bad for the developer, because of all the free clones, this is not getting the attention and credit it deserves. The only minor problem I have with the game is that there seems to be an issue with scaling. I have a 720x1280 (Android) screen and the designs on the tiles have jagged edges. Besides that, it's a very cool game.… Expand

   Fun, simple and highly addictive. The only think I don't like so much about this casual puzzle game is that what comes next feels prettyFun, simple and highly addictive. The only think I don't like so much about this casual puzzle game is that what comes next feels pretty random sometimes and when you suddenly get 4 blue symbols it's really annoying and it can really mess up a good run. Would have made more sense to have a certain order here. But still... it's a pretty fun way to waste time ;).… Expand

   theres gotta be major corruption going on with these critics ratings....its just a tile game and its not that fun...i think its barelytheres gotta be major corruption going on with these critics ratings....its just a tile game and its not that fun...i think its barely passable. i kept playing for like 2 hours to justify the high critics rating...to hopefully discover what they were raving about....and I like math, i like strategy games, i like sudoku, i like tetris, i like chess, i like words with friends and scramble with friends. Unfortunately, I like fun too, and If it were funner, i'd still be playing it, but its pretty easy to put down. In fact, you'll be annoyed you wasted time on this at all. Who likes this game that is a real person? someone who had issues with their math teacher and is trying to prove they know multiples of three? Seriously? Someone who has a fetish for the number 3? Hoplite, Out There, hero academy, sorcery, words with friends, scramble, puzzle fighter, tetris and the gameboy,, infect them all 2, plants vs zombies original...those are fun games. this is like one of those miserable pointless card games, like Pazzak, in Knights of the Old Republic, made to be a very minor distraction. I really wish I could get my money back because I was seriously suckered and tricked by these critics into wasting my money which I forced myself to play for 2 days b/c i felt i better get some value out of my money. This is game is not fun and not entertaining. There has got to be some SERIOUS corruption going on to get so many high ratings. The designer must have got his whole family and his whole company to vote and write positive reviews for this.… Expand
