How to playControls, rules and accessibility
Slide. Combine. Keep space open.
- Slide all signals in one direction. Adjacent equal values combine once per move. Reach 1,024 to win.
- Each effective non-winning move adds a 2 or 4. A move that changes nothing adds nothing. A full board with no possible merges ends the run.
- Use arrows or W/A/S/D on the board, swipe, or use the four direction buttons. Escape pauses and Tab leaves.
- Undo restores up to 32 earlier moves, including the exact next random tile. New run asks before replacing your board.
- Runs save on this device when coordinated storage is available. Continue saved run restores the board and undo history. Conflicting saves offer a choice; unavailable storage permits page-only play. Scores are local and unverified.
Semantic row and column values, keyboard controls, swipe and non-drag direction buttons.. Spoken move summaries, 32-move undo, deliberate pause/resume and persistent numbered labels. No sound or animation is required.
