Web Game Review: Threesome
Alright. I admit it. When I saw a game named Threesome (featuring a guy and two girls), I giggled. With that said, let me introduce you.
Threesome is a small Flash game, and like most any other game on the web, is free to play. A puzzle game that may remind you of others, Threesome features three nameless characters, all stuck together in a building. In order to reach each next room, you must reach the teleporters (which look like targets) - and to do that, you need to employ the colored switches on the floor thoughtfully.
The game controls only involve six keys: the four arrow keys to move your currently selected character, the space key to switch between characters, and the ‘r’ key if you’d like to reset the stage and start over.
The first few levels of Threesome are rather easy, but they gradually ramp up in difficulty. It’ll take some brainpower and pre-planning to progress. It will take some back-and-forth switching between characters and rooms to get everyone to the teleporters. Sometimes, your choices will overwhelm you.
Being a simple puzzle game, Threesome’s graphics are clean and simple - nothing fancy to look at, just enough to get the job done without assailing your eyes. Likewise, there is no soundtrack for the game. My personal recommendations would be “Three’s Company,” “You and Your Friend,” “Stuck in the Middle With You” . . . you get the idea.
If you’re looking for a fun puzzle game to waste some time on, I’d definitely recommend Threesome.
