Fusion 2048 is one of the most original adaptation of the classic game "2048" by Gabriele Cirulli. The objective is to slide numbered tiles on a grid to combine them and increase the score. The originality of Fusion 2048 lies in the addition of new tile "division" that will be happy to come spice up the game play and disrupt your strategies. The divisions can ruin your plans or your progress, but can also help you to break a deadlock. You must tame them. The rules are simple and if you know that 2 plus 2 make 4, you'll have no trouble playing it. Fusion is addictive but never frustrating. You can play it for a while, leave it, and continue playing later. Fusion helps you to relax or pass the time pleasantly. How far reach you merge numbered tiles? 2048? More?
