Can I please give you money so I don’t have to watch any more ads, lol? I really enjoy this game! I’ve now had 2 chances to go for 4096. I will get there!

Very simple game but lacks any sort of soul or polish

Good fun little game, bt feels like a “vibe coded” project before vibe coding was a thing. Theres so much potential missed here and is lacking basic things and just “quirks” thats simply annoying:

- Game center integration
- Undo more than once, even in the paid version
- lack of color of the tiles, specially as you reach higher and higher numbers. I saw yellow all the way through to 2048
- alongside, the sound design is such trash. To start theres no music at all, n If you merge higher and higher tiles, the sound should match accordingly n be more exiting.
- dont get me started with the animations and the complete lack of art design or creativity oof

Like when i hit 2048 i had the most underwhelming experience from a game ive had in a while

Im saying all this as a dev myself cuz i love it and want to see it do better.

Or am i not talking to the original dev, n its just some sop game copying publisher from some third world with only focus of making money?

It’s fun, but..

This game is addictive at the beginning, but I have a feeling something is missing..

The thing is we need bigger squares, like a 6x6, put this in the Settings. And make the max probably 15x15. Please!

All time

Love this game been playing it for years
Undo ability makes it fun
What's everyone's highest tile

FIX THE TILE MOVEMENTS!

I NEVER, EVER leave reviews. Yet, here I find myself, utterly inspired by RAGE! PLEASE fix the tile movements—I swipe relatively fast, and when I do, the tiles falsely move in a direction I did NOT swipe them in, causing me to completely mess up the board! This is an atrocity and is making me no longer enjoy the game. The original version of 2048 does NOT do this! PLEASE FIX SO I CAN PLAY PROPERLY
