HOW TO PLAY: Use your arrow keys to move the tiles. When two tiles with the same number touch, they merge into one!

Based on powers of 2 the game is simple enough after 5 in of messing around with it - gets exponentially harder though (seriously). I played for a bout half hour and got 6.7k with one or two 512 blocks.

Goal is to make a 2048 block. One of my friends said she beat it on her second day so game on TL. Whats your high score?

ps: link works on mobile too!

Edit: If you know the optimal way please spoiler it

Edit 2: Beat it :D + Show Spoiler +
I just built to the left side. Was trying to build to a corner but was getting screwed by too much random spawning of 2s and 4s. Yeeeeeeeeee

Quite a fun game, beat it on my fifth try or so I think. Once you realise the optimal way to do this, all you really have to do is be a bit patient and try not to spam buttons to fast.

I played a bit but there is a bit too much luck factor in this game imo.

I've figured out some brute force techniques that can score a 2-3k game in about 10 seconds, but I've only been able to get to around 6-7k.

Interestingly if you had a 6x6 game board I think you could actually consistantly brute force the game

A way to beat the game is to keep your largest block in a corner once it reaches 256+ and then build a double line from it. For example, if you have 256 in the furtherest left corner, then you want a 128 block either above or to the right, then a 64 block then a 32 block. You use the rest of the spaces to build a 32 which you then chain double. Rinse and repeat with larger numbers.

Probably not the most optimum way to beat it, but I managed to hit 2048 several times and 4096 once using that method.

This game is so addictive. I use Congee method as well and it does work wonders.+ Show Spoiler +
The trick is to consistently only use 2 keys like up and left if you're stacking in upper left corner, sparingly using a third and only if there is no other option using the 4th
I also had sucess with this method playing 3D and 4D versions of this game lol. Also, 2048flappy and Doge2048. Jeez

For the interested

i use this method. sometimes you make mistakes but i think its the best way to manage the numbers

for anything higher than 2048 luck matters, but otherwise its more on mistakes of the player.

You can actually spin the blocks up left down right for about as long as your fingers can take without hitting a point that would actually take some thought.
5x5 grid would be nice.

There is a "move randomly" button on the bottom that let's you enter in which interval the stones should be moved randomly. I'm letting it run with 5ms while typing this post, let's see...

I'm at 54736 points currently....

There's a minor amount of luck involved when you're dealing with 2048, but once you get consistent with the right strategy, it's relatively easy to hit. As you start going above 2048, it becomes more and more luck reliant.

^ 3D ver, first try
8192 block is easily doable. I just made a mistake and then got tired of trying to salvage the situation :x

As for the original, did this earlier:
