### 1/5 — つまらない

*2026-08-18, version 3.3*

即やめ

### 5/5 — It’s great!

*2026-06-11, version 3.3*

It’s a great game. My only problem with it is my wife’s way better at it than I am.

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2026-06-02, version 3.3*

Fun, easy to learn, challenging and educational!

### 5/5 — 似てるモノとは別格のベストオリジン

*2026-03-27*

軽快で心地良い4方向のスワイプでスペースを確保してタイルを合わせるゲーム。鬼ごっこみたいで楽しいし、個人的には1536に達すると気分が良い。何かを成すにはチカラが無い、眠りたくても眠れない、そんな時の思考と操作に実に合う。単調な類似品と違って凄くパズル性の高いタイル配牌、じっくり慎重に進めて４桁、うっかりミスであっという間に同色並んで終了はココロとカラダに悪いがやめられない。文句を言いつつ楽しむ、その繰り返し。メインメニューからボードをクリアできる事が本当にスッキリ嬉しい配慮、感謝。

### 5/5 — Still a great game

*2026-03-22, version 3.3*

I keep coming back to this one. Just downloaded it again after having not had it for a few years. It works great. Small file size, good on battery, saves progress when you close the app, and I love the dark mode color scheme. Do I get great scores? No. Do I still enjoy it when I have a minute here and there? Yes. Well worth the purchase, and I’m glad the developer has kept it updated. Thank you for a great game!

### 5/5 — I see the tiles in my head

*2026-03-09, version 3.3*

I see the blue move into the red. The 6s and 12s. I see them all the time.

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2026-03-08, version 3.3*

Used to like this game. Very addictive and enjoyable but lately seems like the game is against you. Has turned into a very frustrating game. Will get 3 or 4 of the same colour in a row or blocks you somehow. Will not recommend or play anymore.

### 5/5 — 세로모드 고정되게 설정 버튼하나 만들어줘요.

*2026-03-07*

이 게임 처음 나왔을 때부터 지금껏 거의 매일 너무 잘 즐기고 있습니다. 그런데 누워서 하다보면 화면이 자꾸 돌아가서 불편합니다. 게임 설정 메뉴에 고정버튼 하나 만들어줘요. 물론 아이폰 자체기능 쓰면 되겠지만 더른 어플들 이동하다보면 이게 은근 불편해요. 그냥 게임 내에 하나 만들어줘요! 어렵지 않을것 같은데 다음 업데이트 기대합니당!!!

### 3/5 — Odio la música

*2026-01-04, version 3.3*

No se en que momento actualizaron la música pero está horrible, como lo juego en ratos que espero algo no usaba volumen alto, pero la música de antes era perfecta ahora la odio, me fastidia, al menos pongan una opción para poder poner la música de antes.

### 5/5 — Charming and fun, better than the counterfeit 2048

*2025-12-26, version 3.3*

Great game
