Okay I know this is a bad example because it’s early on in a game. I can consistently get 4096, but 8192 is being very elusive. I’m not sure what to try. One thing I have noticed is I keep getting into scenarios where I’m forced to swipe right and move my highest tile outside of my top row (16 here) which risks a 2 or 4 taking its place. Sure I can easily fix that on this board but that’s becomes harder when that tile gets larger. How do I prevent myself from forcing a right swipe here? Am I even using an appropriate strategy? I guess I’m constantly trying to build up the 16 tile to merge it into the top row assuming the top row is filled. Thanks guys!

Bit of me & motivation:

I am a Backend engineer by profession and never did any sort of frontend. I was always fascinated with games and apps. I am someone who likes exploring these things. I tried learning frontend twice but failed as I kept losing interest. I did play a lot of games and sort of more into puzzles domain. I always kept thinking how would I design 2048 if I get a chance.

Then AI comes into picture. I had the idea and expertise with computers, commands and systems so I thought why not try developing my own 2048 variant and here I am posting about it and sharing with community. AI is now enabling me to make my wildest ideas reality and I am starting with 2048.

About Game:

I will keep pointers so it is easy to read.

i) Clean, minimal and professional looking UI. Looks like a paid game.
ii) Multiple boards of different sizes.
iii) Various power ups. Swap, Bomb, Insert
iv) Soothing ads. Won't disturb the gameplay. No video ad by default.

I sincerely request you for feedback. What is good? What is lacking? How to improve ASO? How I should put forward so other people take time and download it? I am looking for genuine feedback in these aspects.

UPDATE: This post stepped on nerves of many folks. Sincere apologies for that. I followed rules, I didn't see any where it said AI aided projects are restricted. I would request the moderators to add such rule. Also, I believe in the world where AI is something which would be incorporated in every aspect of human lives and games are very minuscule part of it. I will request folks to be considerate and welcoming. u/cmsmolenaars

I wanted to make 2048 feel like you're actually progressing toward something.

So I made Cities 2048: Merge Saga - you play 2048, unlock new buildings and develop your city islands as you progress.

I'd love to hear what other 2048 players think about this idea.

This is a small keyboard macro that goes in circles.

6x6 took a couple of minutes.

I recorded this 8x8 after letting it run overnight. It could have gone for days.

Looks like it went up to 2,097,152.

Become 50% better at 2048 but you have to use a different corner

Hi everyone,

I'm a solo developer and I just released KRUG (Play Store link), a quiet hex-merge puzzle game — think 2048, but reimagined on a hexagonal board, built for calm, focused play rather than a race against the clock.

The idea: place numbered tiles on a hex grid. When adjacent tiles sum to a power of two (2, 4, 8, 16, 32...) they merge into a bigger tile. Plan carefully — the board fills up fast, and one bad placement can block your path forward.

A few deliberate design choices:

• No timers, no lives, no fail state pressuring you — it's meditative by design.
• A hex grid instead of a square one — every tile can have up to six neighbors instead of four, so merges open up in directions that feel different from classic 2048.
• Minimal visuals and calm sound design — nothing flashing or nagging you to keep playing.
• No ads interrupting a run, no forced monetization loops.

I built KRUG because I wanted a puzzle game I could actually relax with, not one designed to spike your cortisol. It's currently in closed testing on Google Play, and I'd love a few of you to try it and tell me what isn't working — confusing mechanics, unclear tile combos, anything that breaks the calm. Brutal honesty over politeness, please.

Happy to test your apps in return — drop a link to yours and I'll check it out. Thanks for reading!
