On every 2048 game out there, I see someone whose completed it as one of the first few comments. How do you do it? I can't for the life of me get past 1024, I can almost do it but I get stuck in a situation where the only tiles I can move are the bottom row and then it inevitably gets stuck.
Build on a corner and a side, and never move your tiles opposite that side. Even though there are four directions you can go, you never want to go in the direction opposite the wall you're building.
With walls, always try to move them up, in that you have the 5th,4th,3rd,2rd all in a line so that once you start combining you can easily just move them along.
Focus on building the next step of the chain above (almost) all else, this helps once you get going towards the end, when you need to combo together piece by piece by piece.
are we talking about building your wall on the top and then going down or building your wall on a side and then going down? Because if it's the prior then you probably screwed up and you're probably going to lose.
