Based on Kamikaze's assumption that there are twelve possible white tiles... ...it would be 531,441*16=8,503,056. I can't imagine that's possible in practice though. You'd need the last block you're given to be a 6144, the penultimate block you're given to be a 6144 or a 3072 depending on how many 3072s you had left, and so on. I wouldn't think the game is that generous with high numbers. In practice, I suspect that getting even one 6144 is nigh impossible and that the most you'd ever get would be two or three. I'm sure some wag will be posting a score of 8,503,056 soon, though.
Add me to gamecentre if you want to battle! I'm currently 12th lol! With 10,143. GC: dave_wigz Has anyone managed higher than 384 (was damn satisfying gettin that lol!)
Four people according to GC. No mames that I recognise from here yet. I came pretty close: Damn. Tried to post a pic of my best board (10,620) but the upload failed via the app.
Impressive scores, guys. You've definitely found my kryptonite (games that require me to use my brain). I got a 192 and a high score of 2,562.
Yeah first time I have a higher score than Andy (albeit minimal :2643). Btw Andy I send you a gc invite to add me a couple of days ago .. Willing to accept me ?
Awesome! Damn this game is hard! I have no friggin clue how I'll get the acchievements for this beast!! Btw who is Fangbone? I declined you're invite by accident!
Perfect Score? That's a surprisingly difficult question to answer due to the moving of the tiles. The most valuable tile - as mentioned previously - has the number 6144 with a point value of 531,441. Now you could get the idea that you just fill the board with those tiles and get 16*531,441 = 8,503,056 points. And you'd be wrong because the last 6144 tile had to be created with two 3072 tiles, one of which could not have fit onto the board. To be honest, I agree that there should be a theoretically perfect game with the theoretically highest score but I can't figure out how to get to it. I would however argue that due to the slight randomness in the choice of appearing tiles and their position you are very unlikely to have a perfect game. I wasn't content with my lack of results so far, so I wrote 20 lines of Python to simulate a very simplified version of Threes. -The board is now 16 fields next to each other -The spawning tile is always a 3 Always shifting tiles in one direction leads to the following end-state: 6144, 6144, 6144, 6144, 6144, 3072, 1536, 768, 384, 192, 96, 48, 24, 12, 6, 3 with a point value of 2,922,924. The true perfect score (according to all rules of Threes) must therefore be less than or equal to that.
I was gonna say about the same thing. I also almost beat Echoen. Can you also accept my gc request, Andy C83?
Not sure if they're all from here but I've been getting even more GC requests than usual today. I added TheFrost but don't recognise the others. I get too many random requests, often from kids, so ignore any I don't recognise. If you're from here and send me a request please mention TA in the message.
Just downloaded and just scored 7,269 on my seventh attempt. There is a fairly simple process to follow in the early game but the hardest thing is staying focused on it and not getting greedy chasing big numbers too soon. They can happen of their own volition - look after the pennies and the pounds look after themselves (my name is same as my game centre name) Thanks for making me interested enough to purchase - glad I did
Done. Loads. I made a schoolboy error of uploading a YouTube video in which my GC name was visible. Of course the video was Flappy Bird but I had no idea the video would go on to get 1.2 million+ views. Maybe schoolboy error doesn't quite cut it... Maybe you should buy a lottery ticket. Also: When things are going well son Don't poke the sleeping bear Don't even venture near it Don't poke it, don't you dare
