2048 by Gabriele Cirulli

Good balance of difficulty and no re-do make this simple and addictive little game particularly rewarding. Pay the price and ditch the ads for max enjoyment. I only have a few games on my IOS devices and this one that I’ll be keeping for good. Good support too. I complained about a small problem and got a response in less than an hour. Kind of amazing really.

A slightly diagonal swipe can get interpreted as a different direction than you meant. The game needs to wait for a little bit longer swipe before moving the tiles. I've played several 2048 games, and this is the only one that misinterpreted swipes. I played this game once, up to 256, and it had already misinterpreted 2 swipes. Forget it, that's way too twitchy swipe detection for this kind of game. UPDATE: the developer says I was touching the screen with multiple fingers, and to turn off the “extended swipe” feature. But I wasn’t touching with multiple fingers. I reinstalled the game and turned off extended swipe. The game still interprets even super-slight movement of my ONE fingertip as a full swipe. It’s still way too sensitive and interprets touch input before there’s enough input to accurately identify the overall direction of the swipe. I’m using an iPhone 6.

It’s a bit addictive! Sometimes I have to delete it from my phone but I always put it back again. Love that it helps me think strategically about how each move affects the other. Getting 2048 becomes quick and easy....it’s getting 4096 that becomes the challenge. For now...

I’ve realized that this could make you feel like you’re doing a whole lot of something but you’re actually doing a whole lot of nothing 😳 Danger😩

Really like the new undo button in case my finger slips and a swipe gets recorded that I didn’t intend! Totally addicted to this game, trying to beat my best time.
