Neat, I got to 128 on my first try.

ETA: The best strategy seems to be to press only 2 perpendicular directions at a time (e.g. L and Up or R and Down)

Until you can't and switch to a different set of 2 directions when forced to

I got 2380 my first try. No idea how it's played, I just hit randomly like a girl playing Street Fighter 2.

1468 on first and most likely last attempt. It didn't really get interesting until just before it got really difficult.

Posted: 3/16/2014 10:15:02 PM EDT

676 first try. Cool game.

I dont get this game.

My wife got over 3k. Are you suppose to try to get 2048 exactly? If so how can you go over it and not loose right away?

No, a tile worth 2048, 2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024, 2048 when sliding tiles together. I have NO clue how to get there.

High score now is 3100 for me

High score of 5344

The key is to focus on combining two numbers or more every move, otherwise squares will start filling up.

New High Score: 11156

1024 tile and a 256.

I got there by never hitting the up key unless I had to, let the big ones stack at the bottom.
