THREE·S

Overview

THREE·S (i.e., "3 Dots") is a simple, but addicting puzzle game based on numbers. THREE·S is the Atari 2600 version of the great mobile game Threes!. All game mechanics have been implemented faithfully, and only the display has been changed to fit the limitations of the Atari console. The iOS game Threes! was just awarded Apple's 2014 Game of the Year.

In THREE·S, the top 4x4 board is your playfield. Initially, a random set of numbered tiles is spread across it. Your task is to merge the dots and numbers. To help with your merging, the tiles with the current highest number are displayed with a yellow background.

A preview of the next tile is displayed in the upper right-right corner. The color indicates if the next tile is a '.', ':' or '0'. If the preview displays a '+', the next tile will be a higher value bonus tile.
