Robot Dominates Puzzle Game Threes On Twitch
The simple, infectious puzzler Threes has captivated fans of mobile games. Game Informer's Dan Ryckert loves it, but the joy of sliding numbers isn't reserved for humans alone. Threes developer Team Colorblind has developed a robot that can play that game better than most organic beings, and is streaming it via Twitch.
The robot and A.I. was developed by Team Colorblind developers Greg Wohlwend and Asher Vollmer. The highly efficient A.I.-controlled machine known as Threepio has combined game tiles with sums in the thousands, many more than most human players can boast. Check it out right now over on Team Colorblind's Twitch channel.
Our Take
I can't speak for the rest of Game Informer, but I for one welcome our new robotic, tile-sliding overlord.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
