2048
2048 is an acclaimed sliding block puzzle game. Shift numbered tiles across a 4x4 matrix. When two tiles displaying identical numbers collide, they fuse into a single tile with combined value. Plan ahead, anchor your highest value tile into a corner, and strive for high scores.
How to Play
- Use Arrow keys, WASD, or swipe gestures to glide all tiles toward one direction.
- When two tiles with matching numbers collide, they merge into their sum (2+2=4, 4+4=8, 1024+1024=2048).
- A new tile (valued 2 or 4) spawns in a random empty slot after each valid move.
- Construct the 2048 tile to triumph, then continue in endless mode to build 4096 and higher.
Rules
- Every move shifts all unobstructed tiles across the board simultaneously.
- Tiles can only merge once per single shift.
- The board fills as new tiles spawn; the game concludes when no empty slots or valid merges remain.
- Reaching the 2048 tile displays a victory banner, but you may choose to continue playing indefinitely.
