On: Show HN: Twenty

[noughts]

I understand how people can find this fun, but not how they can find it "just as good" as Threes!. The graphics are a blatant ripoff, albeit of a lower quality, and the game mechanic is simply way less inventive.

Threes! had attention to detail — in the mechanics, in the visuals, and especially in the music. These ripoffs have none of that.

I can't help but wonder whether we are promoting the tradition of cheap, carelessly made mobile games as opposed to the finely-crafted products. This is why many developers have started to steer clear of the mobile market.

(I don't mean to ruin everyone's fun, just commenting on the larger scheme of things)

For starters, Twenty is free and I can play it in the browser on my desktop.

Its graphics are, in my opinion, better than Threes!. Why that should matter though is beyond me, since the gameplay is quite different.

I also fail to see why elegant simplicity is somehow a bad thing in this case.

Maybe you're new here, but games featured on Show HN are usually side projects and don't necessarily have studio-level production values.

This is sarcasm, right? The gameplay isn't anything like Threes, and you are reusing their whiny blogpost about 2048 almost word for word.
