How to play

  1. Move every tile in one direction with an arrow key, WASD, or a swipe.
  2. When two equal tiles meet, they merge into the next power of two.
  3. Keep open space available and work toward the 2048 tile without trapping large values.

What this game practices

A strong planning puzzle that makes doubling visible. It is useful for discussing powers of two, but success depends more on board management than arithmetic fluency.
