I found this is on a particular game review site, and tried... and got hooked.

You get a 4x4 grid and 2 blocks.

Your objective is to merge the blocks of same value into one by sliding them (with arrow keys).
If 2 blocks with same value collide, they merge into 1 box!
After each slide, you are given a "2" block randomly placed on the grid.
If your grid is full and you can't merge blocks anymore, it's game over.

Game on!

Try to get the 2048 block!

I can't break 3300. It's so hard around that point.

:disgust

I've heard this is basically Threes - is that true? If so, I should probably get Threes after this game destroys me.

Smart phone users: Apparently this game supports swiping too. It's a bit laggy, but still playable.

1024 (12076 score) is the best I can do so far. But thanks for the link, Vike. Very cool game. +1 :)

I'll edit the post once I reach 2048.
*never edits the post again*

2048 (26184)... Think I'll probably do better next game. It's very similar to threes, but it's systemic able in a way that threes didn't seem to be.

I won too. This game is a curious mixture of fun and frustration. I find it has too much of the latter, so I'm giving up now having completed the game's titular task. Phew.

My strategy was to build series on increasing powers of two on the right side. These would then collapse into one square and I'd start building them again. There probably is more to the game than this, I suppose, since I only got this to work after several failures with 512 or 1024 being the largest square.

EDIT: Put screenshot into secret tags; don't want to take up space.
