### 5/5 — How is this game so good I only could make a night a better game than this

*2023-06-24*

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2022-08-01*

I’m asian so i like the buildings because in a geographical boi

### 3/5 — Frustrated with lag, undos, and continues

*2019-08-25*

I was excited to see a new 2048 game on my App Store. I am an avid 2048 player, and was looking for a new spin on the game. This game was not all that different (as I had expected) but was still fun. However, as the board is 3-D, it is difficult sometimes to slide the pieces in the correct direction. Additionally, sometimes the game will lag and not move for a few seconds. 

The other annoying thing about this game is that it gives you the option to do “undos” where you can take back moves, as well as offering you a chance to watch a video to keep playing when you die. This runs completely in the opposite direction of a good 2048 game, where you have to plan out your moves carefully and think ahead. 

Lastly, this game has cool towers as you level up, but after 1024, the towers do not change at all, it stays as the mountain. It would be cool if there was more after that, but it’s cool how it is. 

In conclusion, if you purchase this game, and are good at it, be prepared to play it a few times, and get annoyed with the laggy movement, and if you are like me, the indignance at second chances at undos. This is a fun game, and could be really cool, it just needs some work.

### 5/5 — Played it for awhile

*2019-02-28*

Definitely one of those games that keeps you engaged. You could just go swipe crazy or try to delve into strategy more. A fun version of 2048. Recommended for sure.

### 5/5 — Cool

### 5/5 — Interested game

New graphic version of 2048. I love the graphics, such nice buildings from Japan. Fun to play

### 5/5 — Creative take on old favourite

*2018-09-28*

The new skin is gorgeous. It rekindled my interest in this type of game.

### 5/5 — A very interesting game

*2018-09-09*

I like the concept with buildings. Sometime it lags but overall it is cool!!! It would be great if it had some bonus merging. Sometimes I see that it would be hard to merge certain buildings on the board and I would like to have a feature to merge them for points or something like that
