2048³
Read full descriptionHide full description
2048³ brings classic number merging to three faces of a cube. Swipe in six directions. Every swipe moves tiles on two faces while the third stays still. Each face is its own 4×4 board, so every move asks you to think one step further. Your goal: reach a 2048 tile on all three faces. Complete one face to double future merge points, two faces for ×4, and all three for ×8. Then keep playing for 4096, 8192, and beyond. Features • Three independent boards in one isometric cube • Six-direction swipe controls • Increasing score multipliers as you reach 2048 on each face • Endless play after completing the cube • Optional worldwide Game Center leaderboard • Offline play and local high scores • A clean interface with layouts that adapt to your display No app account is required to play. Game Center is optional. 2048³ began with a simple question: what happens when a familiar two-dimensional puzzle gains another dimension?

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: 2048³ at none against 2048 Drag's shown. 2048 Drag's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
