2048 by Gabriele Cirulli

The look is understated yet simply beautiful. The choice of colour is perfect. The response is immediate. Hard to go wrong.

Slower than web version.

So I've just discovered that this is the official and the original 2048 game. While I don't understand why the other copy of this popular hit gets on top of the chart (ketchapp), I would like to play the game from the original creator. However, truth to be told your game seriously lack the fluidity when sliding the tiles. This may be the one and the only reason people hit on ketchapp.

I love this game, but this version makes it challenging to play because the screen freezes or tries to “catch up” and everything go way too fast and ruins the play. I suppose this is why they created the undo button. It also goes to ads that won’t go away, so I had to hard close the app until the X popped up and sometimes even then it wouldn’t go away.

There are too many ads, so much disturbing

I like that it makes you think but there is a lot of adds and nobody likes interruptions.

It just isn’t

I managed to get to 2048 after a few hours, total, of play. It’s hard to get to the level after that. One issue I kept experiencing was that the panel was super sensitive, so I often had the tiles move up/down instead of to the side. Anyone who understands the critical strategy of keeping the highest value tile in the corner knows this can be a tragedy. Then I found the “undo” button occasionally stopped working (maybe I used it too often), so when an error like that occurred, I would not be able to fix it. Several high scoring games were blown by the sensitivity of the playing board and inability to undo. It takes a while to build up values—such a time sink, only to see all the work blown by a single fumble. I’ve deleted the app—I’ve figured out how to win but am thwarted, which makes the game pointless.

This game is very interesting and fun! The goal is to put the numbers that match together and get all the way to the number 2048. But if your not particularly good at math kind of things it’s your choice. The only complaint I have about this game is that there are adds after you lose the game, but it is a very fun game! So if your willing to watch adds every time you lose but have a fun game to play get this.

Get rid of ads.
