In this addictive puzzle game, you control a grid filled with numbered tiles that shift with every gesture. Guide them by swiping in any direction—up, down, left, or right—and watch as they slide until they hit an obstacle or the edge. The magic happens when identical numbers collide: they fuse together, doubling their value and creating space for more action. Your aim? Build toward the elusive 2048 tile by strategically combining pairs, starting from basic 2s and 4s that appear randomly as you play. Each merge not only boosts your score but also opens pathways to rarer, higher numbers like 4096 or beyond. As the board fills up, decisions grow tougher—do you align a row for a big combo, or clear a corner to avoid getting stuck? One wrong move, and tiles might pile up, blocking your progress. The challenge escalates with every level, testing your foresight and pattern recognition. Track your best scores, compete with friends, or simply enjoy the satisfaction of chaining merges for massive gains. It's a test of logic wrapped in simple controls, perfect for quick sessions or extended battles against your own limits. Whether you're a numbers whiz or just looking for a brain-teasing diversion, this game rewards patience and clever planning, turning a blank grid into a thrilling numerical ascent.
