## What is A Better Looking 2048?

Slide matching numbers together, build your target tile, and keep the board you made. A Better Looking 2048 combines four ways to play with a finished board you can return to, local records, and two complete visual themes.

FOUR MODES IN ONE APP
• Pocket: a 3×3 board with a 512 target. Every empty cell matters.
• Classic: a 4×4 board with a 2048 target.
• Expert: a 4×4 board with a 4096 target.
• Breezy: a 5×5 board with a 2048 target and more room to plan.

LOOK OVER YOUR FINISHED GAME
When you reach the target or run out of moves, a compact result strip leaves every tile visible. Your finished board is saved and returns when you reopen the app. Play Again asks for a second confirming tap, so one tap does not erase the result. After a win, Keep Going continues the same board and run.

YOUR RECORDS, BY MODE
Keep a best score and its best tile for each mode. Career shows games played and won, moves, merges, best tile ever, and games won and played for each difficulty. Optional Apple Game Center leaderboards keep the four modes separate.

TWO COMPLETE THEMES
Modern follows your device's light or dark appearance. Circuit brings monospaced numbers and chip-shaped tiles. A small optional strip offers strategy tips in Modern and powers-of-two facts in Circuit; tap for another.

PLAY COMFORTABLY
One deliberate swipe makes one move. VoiceOver provides directional board actions, cell values, and move and result announcements. On iPad, use an external keyboard or swipe in the space beside the board in landscape. Sound and iPhone haptics can be switched independently. Reduce Motion is supported.

Free. No advertisements or in-app purchases. No app account required. Local play, progress and records work offline; Game Center rankings are optional.
