That strategy lets you build toward a singular tile without moving it around and disrupting your ability to merge it with other large tiles when the time comes. It's just how I play, and any of the corners will do. The first step with all these Candy Crush-meets-Sudoku number games is to understand that the corner is your best friend. It takes simple strategy, a knowledge of when to alter that strategy, and, unlike Threes, requires almost no luck whatsoever. So how exactly does one succeed at 2048? It's fairly easy in fact to reach the end the same day you pick up the game. Yet, get far enough and everything seems to fall apart before your eyes, possibly with an elusive 1024 tile onboard that makes you kick yourself and start again. Not only does that let you progress far into the game very early on - a 512 tile can be unlocked in under a minute if you move fast enough - but it instills in you, like the infamous Flappy Bird, a notion that this game can't be that hard. For one, it's actually difficult to lose for the first few minutes of play unless you have absolutely zero strategy. It's that antithetical challenge curve of 2048 that keeps you coming back. In fact, I've gone one game in Threes earning as much as 10,000 points to my next where I earn in the low triple-digits, moving too quickly and mindlessly to realize I'd made fatal mistakes so early on. 2048 is difficult - and you don't realize that until you first progress far into the game whereas Threes will aggressively remind you that you must keep the board from clutter.

He claims it's borrowed from the iOS app 1024, yet that game itself is a self-described free version of Asher Vollmer's Threes, so all three exist in a similar family of addictive, math-based puzzlers.īut where 2048 differs substantially from Threes, an admittedly far more difficult game with a steeper learning curve, is in its addictive conceit. The HTML5 game, which can be played in a mobile or desktop browser for free, took off earlier this month when 19-year-old Italian programmer Gabriele Cirulli published it on GitHub, playable on a standalone site for mobile and desktop. 2048 is the new Flappy Bird in so many ways.
