2048 is Gabriele Cirulli's sliding-tile puzzle from 2014. Every move pushes all tiles as far as they go; two tiles with the same number that touch merge into one, doubling it, and a new 2 or 4 appears after every move.
Reach the 2048 tile to win — then keep going for a higher score. The game is over when the board is full and no two neighbours can merge.
This is the original game, ported to TypeScript with its rules, its 4×4 board, its colours and its animations. The best score and a running game are kept in the player's account on the server; the original kept them in the browser.
We highly recommend playing the original @ https://play2048.co/
