Players find the gameplay addictive and visually appealing, but express disappointment over the lack of new gameplay elements and variety in visual pieces after a certain level, which diminishes the sense of discovery and excitement. Additionally, some users are uninstalling the game due to storage concerns related to SSD capacity.
“One of the reasons that people keep playing Threes by Sirvo LLC beyond the gameplay is to see what the next larger numbered piece is going to look like, what kind of personality it evokes, and that fun feeling of discovery.”
“The gameplay is addictive, and the graphics are well done.”
“No new visual hexagon pieces with zany shapes and stuff long after level 41's blast of new content. If there are no new gameplay elements (like wraparound connecting pieces or a set of pieces that all rotate at once), it becomes stale.”
“Sadly, this is one of the main reasons why I'm uninstalling. The gameplay has not evolved, and it feels repetitive.”
