An ode to swiping. UDLR is a simple, but elegant, swipe based game with a pickup and play attitude. Get as many swipes as possible. Swipe in the correct direction to add time. If you run out of time or swipe incorrectly, it's game over. UDLR:SWIPE (iPhone) & UDLR:TAP (Apple Watch) are two similar, but unique, synesthetic experiences embracing the touch input of their respective devices. The premise is simple. Color = Direction With clever mastery and persistence, players begin naturally matching color to direction.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: UDLR at none against 2048+#'s shown. UDLR also leads on review sentiment (95% vs 79%) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 17.0). 2048+#'s advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (2.6K vs 36). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
