I play everyday! *2020-04-16* This is a color merge game with the same concept as 2048. It is my go-to for a quick game that doesn’t require intense concentration and can be picked up and put down at any time. There are a variety of theme colors that can be earned and purchased using stars. It is a spinner wheel for the theme awards though, and when it lands on a theme you already own you just lose those stars, which I don’t appreciate (also, when I upgraded my phone, it didn’t store my progress anywhere and I lost everything I had already unlocked). You can play in different size modes: the standard 4x4, an easier 5x5 and a more challenging 3x3. Overall, a great game that I always come back to. ### 5/5 — New favorite! *2020-02-25, version 1.3* Great puzzle-like game. Fast paced, intuitive and well designed! Wish there was a “PAID VERSION” that eliminated ads...I use this for meditation type brain waves and the ads are terribly disruptive. I would definitely play more without ads. Still 5 stars for intuitive play and design. ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-01-26, version 1.3* Time consuming ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2019-10-27, version 1.3* I love the game 2048 but this is so creative I love it ### 5/5 — Love this game *2019-03-17* Love this game. Colorful, fun, and still challenging for those of us who may be less mathematically inclined (2048). Feels more creative-brain oriented, and my completely visual self appreciates the variety of themes and changing colors! ### 5/5 — Great game *2019-01-20, version 1.1* Love it! ### 5/5 — Out of the ordinary *2018-10-29* I’m older so don’t play tons but this has become a favorite. Takes a bit to figure it out but once you do it can be addicting. Very different from other games. Not childish like some and I like the colors they use. Keeps me from being bored when I’m waiting. ### 5/5 — Super addictive and fun *2018-10-06, version 1.1* Super addictive and fun ### 5/5 — One of my favorite games *2018-09-19* White out 2 is such a good game to keep my mind occupied! I love the colors of the different themes and how smooth everything runs ### 5/5 — Great *2018-09-11, version 1.0* Suggest getting it. It is fun in a thinking way ### 5/5 — Great game!!! *2018-08-16, version 1.0* I could play for hours! (Oh wait that's what I've been doing) love it so much ### 5/5 — Great *2018-06-23* I really like this game, the only thing I'd add is a night mode or dark mode. I don't love looking at a white screen all the time. There's plenty of room to add this in settings. Thanks. ### 5/5 — glitching? *2018-05-26, version 1.0* i love this game and all the different color sets available but lately it has been glitching quite a lot and its frustrating ### 5/5 — Addicting and fun *2018-01-08, version 1.0* So much fun and very addicting ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not a happy camper with this game *2018-07-05, version 1.0* Not the best game I’ve played, I prefer the older version where I could keep going after hitting the white tile, then the grey one. Now they want you to pay to continue no thank you ### 1/5 — Great game, but doesn't remove ads *2016-12-30* Love the game. I love 2048 games and this is one of the best, with one caveat: if you pay to remove ads, they still keep some ads in even after you pay. I'll update if they ever fix this. And no, it's not a restore purchase thing. They just don't completely remove ads (I'm fine with ads that give perks because they ask first). ### 3/5 — Pay pay pay *2020-02-14, version 1.3* too many in app purchases imo ### 3/5 — ok *2018-06-08, version 1.0* this game is so fun but when i’m playing the crashes every couple minutes ### 3/5 — It's cool *2017-06-20, version 1.0* It's a fun game. I just wish it didn't take so much to open stuff up. ### 4/5 — Very addictive *2018-06-19, version 1.0* The game is awesome and very fun and addicting. Also the colors are awesome! But lately it has been sort of buggy... ### 4/5 — Addictive as fun *2017-09-13, version 1.0* Pleasing to the eye and just challenging enough to become a regular in my game apps. ### 4/5 — Good game *2017-07-29, version 1.0* Very challenging. Reminiscent of 2047 but is still very different. ### 4/5 — Fun *2017-07-08, version 1.0* Fun ### 4/5 — Fun to play *2016-10-20, version 1.0* It gives you good goals and is a fun game as far as 2048 games go definitely challenges you ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Favorite Bus Game *2025-04-04* This game is so much fun to play while listening to music on a long bus or car ride home or when you’re tired or scrolling on tiktok. It really calms me down and focuses me well. ### 5/5 — 2048 but clean *2024-05-12* This game is simple, but it looks and plays very nicely. One issue is that the animations for certain achievements cover up the screen for a bit, which gets somewhat annoying. An option to change the size of these animations could be implemented to fix this. The color schemes are super clean and actually readable. Overall, great game! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2023-11-07, version 1.3* One of the best games around for cleaning out my hoarded brain! ### 5/5 — Fun game *2022-07-07, version 1.3* Comparison to the 2048 game except with colors. Very addictive. I love it! Doesn’t take a lot of effort, has a colorblind mode in the app as well! ### 5/5 — Minimal ads!!! *2021-12-24, version 1.3* Like the challenge of the different color themes. Does occasionally toss me out for no apparent reason. But minimal ad intrusion! ### 5/5 — Mesmerizing *2021-12-07, version 1.3* Honestly I play this game everyday, and I don’t even know why?? It’s just really good!! ### 5/5 — Super fun *2021-07-09, version 1.3* Addicting and a good time waster ### 5/5 — Awesome *2021-03-26, version 1.3* Love it ### 5/5 — My fave game like totes real *2020-07-22, version 1.3* This is a game that I am playing straight for 24 hours and Karina Garcia will like/love this game ### 5/5 — Super fun *2020-07-22, version 1.3* No glitches Lovely colors --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
