Bobb:

and there goes my day..

Basically this.

"For I am a sinner in the hands of an angry God. Bloody Mary full of vodka, blessed are you among cocktails. Pray for me now and at the hour of my death, which I hope is soon. Amen."
 

Hit the 4096 tile and 50,000. I'm the new "winner" :-p

  1. I couldn't have just hit 10,000 and been done with it, could I?

You got to just never hit the up button, and keep your bottom row full of amounts in ascending order. I still think winning is a large part the luck of what numbers you're given and where. I won, but dk if i could again.

 

Lost 50% of my Friday to this one.

This has been all over my Facebook and Twitter. Haven't gotten sucked in it, but it's damn tempting.

EDIT: Spoke too soon. Hit the 1024 tile on my first run. Now I'm addicted.

"I do not think that there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature."
 

I effectively spent my entire day watching Netflix and playing this. Still can't hit 2048 though, can't get past a 1024 + 512 tile.

Average Rainmaker:

Didnt understand how it worked
Too complex for me :(

I can't figure out how the fuck to play. I'm just not that smart, or whatever the hell quality you need to play whatever the hell this is.

I hate victims who respect their executioners
 

i actually thought the exact same thing when i first opened it up. got really flustered and felt dumb BC i couldn't figure out the strategy behind it. came back later and realized the game's just bashing tiles into each other. don't know how i feel about that. but i'd rather that than this...

Anihilist:

Incidentally, found that I did better at the beginning by just hitting up, right, down, left repeatedly

 

Just as mentioned above. Once you really start getting going (some 8's and 16's, move everything to the bottom and then never touch the up button again, just left, right and down.

This led me to victory a grand total of one time, but man did it feel good!

"I know you think you understand what you thought I said but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."
 
Zzari:

Almost had 4096 but then I was forced to hit the up key (hence the 2 at the bottom).\

I'm literally embarrassed by how close I keep getting to the 4096 square. I can't tell whether to keep after it or give up. I'm afraid that if you keep going, you turn into that guy from the movie "pi", lol.
 

It took me an hour or so. A few key things I did were no up arrow, some random right and left arrows to spawn new blocks, and occasionally slowing down a lot in order to see a few steps ahead.

 
SureThing:

I also just found whatever this is.

Lol...honestly this game is addictive but it doesn't really have much skill since the new blocks are random. Just now I tried just keep hitting left right repeatedly and then hitting down repeatedly when left-right wouldn't work and so forth...got 10,000+ in like two minutes and then closed out of it.

 

Yeah I clicked on the corner button which just makes it auto-move. It goes quick and I let it go in the background for about an hour. It went up to the 32k tile. Therefore, I'm pretty sure it would take at least weeks of constant play to beat it legitimately. I also lost interest.

The Android app seems to have updated and it has a Fibonacci/Expert mode. I tried it and my face fell off.
