Pros
Pro No time limit to solve the puzzles
There's no time limit to force the issue, but that doesn't matter, because it's so damnably slick to both the touch and the brain that you'll throw moves out with the same speed and grace that climbing into a tiny boat forbids.
Pro Ideal for phones
Being a portrait style game that has large graphics that are meant to be played with one hand, Threes! fits better on a smaller screen device such as phones more so than a tablet.

A puzzle game should be quick and easy to pick up and play, but deep and challenging enough that it’s difficult to put down - that’s the cliche ideal. Threes is the embodiment of that ideal.

Cons
Con Randomness of game can be frustrating
The randomness of what new tiles appear can be frustrating when nothing is lining up very well.
Con Story is lacking from majority of game
The actual story of the title takes a bit of a back seat and is not really fleshed out while playing. Most of the backstory will only be found in the built in digital manual.
