After playing 1 game of Stickets for almost 3 weeks, I got a score over 3000 and moved into second place on the leaderboard.  Then I got this message from the person who is #1.

@LabMicePuzzles WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?! STOP IT AT ONCE

My response:

@TopGnu I have retired from playing Stickets. Now I'm playing Threes! And am struggling. Check out Tripevo,

His response:

@LabMicePuzzles this sounds like subterfuge. I've got my eye on you.

Threes! - new clone

I simply cannot stop playing Threes! My high score remains about 27,000. My highest number: 768, which I've gotten almost 2 dozen times.


Recently somebody told me about this clone: http://gabrielecirulli.github.io/2048/


It's very similar. You only get 2's & 4's and must crash them into each other.  I played it once and got to 512 which is 2^9. I thought that was good. But I'm sticking with Threes! Sorry Gabriele.

2048

     

Join the numbers and get to the 2048 tile!
