Threes!

Threes! is an insanely fun puzzle game by Sirvo LLC, and is currently sitting at #8 for paid games on the App Store. This game is without a doubt the most addicting piece of mobile software I have ever played, and not in a bad way. 

I first bought this app a few weeks ago due to all of the hype surrounding it. I was confused at first, but I very quickly became entranced. Many people may be discouraged by all of the numbers, but there is absolutely no math involved (for you, that is). If you replaced each numbered tile with it's own unique color instead, the game would be played the exact same way, but would be slightly confusing. 

The overall goal of the game is to swipe the same tiles together, which is how you earn points. 1's and 2's go together to make 3's, but these tiles don't give any points so be sure to get rid of them as soon as possible! Another tip: Points increase exponentially, so if you have two 192 tiles, add them to get 384 for maximum points. 

Although I don't think this game is going to be the next Angry Birds or Flappy Bird, it's certainly here to stay. 

Maybe the game should use different birds as tiles instead of numbers.
