Dear Threes!
You may have been overshadowed by your simpler (and in my opinion, uglier) younger sister 2048, but in my eyes you’re the real catch!
You’re dripping with charm from head to toe. Every part of you has been crafted with love and care. Your soundtrack is so playful and catchy, I find myself humming it randomly throughout the day. Oh and your characters! Each of your little number tiles has a name, design and voiceline! It’s absolutely endearing.
The best part about you is there’s so much depth to go with your charm. You’re deceptively deep with your easy to learn but hard to master gameplay. What starts out as smooshing two tiles together grows into planning 3 moves ahead and creating a priority queue so you don’t trap a low point tile in the middle of the board. I’ve been playing you off and on for half a decade and I still havent beat you!
We’ve drifted away from time to time but I’m so glad I’ve found you again. I’m coming for that 3072 tile and sooner or later I will beat you.
With love, Bijuice
P.S pls tell your creator to enable the paid version of the app in Kenya. I’m sick of watching ads.
I probably have played like 3000 Threes games over 3 different phones over the years; it’s still my favourite Commuting Game of all time, and indeed probably one of my top 5 games of all time. I have never beaten it and probably never will.
2048 can’t hold a candle to Threes and it upsets me that people remain mostly ignorant of the latter’s existence.
