So happy about Threes. Such an underrated game. Almost addictive but not quite; slick, classy, fun, kinda cute game. Great work. Well done!

- untog 12y agoIt is, but increasingly I've seen far, far more people playing 2048 than Threes. Which, IIRC, is a wrapped webapp. Not that it's strictly relevant to the Apple Design Awards, but perhaps a reminder that it doesn't necessarily matter whether you win or not.
- arrrg 12y ago2048 is free with ads. Of course more people are playing it. This award (and all the others given out this year) was nevertheless a nice recovery from Apple (compared to last years’ winners which were pretty crappy), showing what they value and telling the world about it. I hope they continue to show off these values in the editorial decisions they will make in the App Store in the future (but they have been relatively good about that in the past, with a few missteps).
- basicallydan 12y agoTrue, but it's nice to be recognised anyway. I'm sure the awards have given them a little bump in popularity. I think that 2048 is a more accessible game. It takes zero time to figure out how it works. Whereas Threes is a little more complex. I enjoyed figuring out how it works, though.
- Glide 12y agoAlmost addictive? I disagree. I had to remove it to get anything done.
- Tyrannosaurs 12y agoIt is, though it doesn't take long before you start to resent the time you're spending on it rather than enjoying it.
