2048

A compact, polished version of the classic sliding-tile puzzle. Slide the board, merge matching numbers, and keep doubling up until you make the 2048 tile — then push on for a new high score. No install, no sign-up: it runs instantly in your browser on desktop or mobile.

Every move is meant to feel good. Tiles glide into place, new ones pop in, and merges bounce — and the bigger the number you make, the flashier it gets, with shockwave rings, flying sparks, a board-shaking thud, and a rising chime for your biggest combos.

Features

• Classic 4×4 2048 rules — merge two equal tiles to double them

• Juicy animations: smooth slides, pop-in spawns, and merge pulses

• Escalating feedback — larger merges trigger bigger effects and higher-pitched sounds

• Synthesized sound effects with a one-tap mute (no audio files, instant load)

• Score and Best, saved locally in your browser

• A "You reached 2048!" celebration — then keep playing to run up your score

• Play with arrow keys or swipe — great on phone and desktop

• Loads instantly, tiny download, no tracking

How to play

• Desktop: Arrow keys to move · R to restart · M to mute

• Mobile: Swipe to move · tap to restart

• Combine two tiles of the same number to merge them into one worth double. A new 2 appears after every move. The game ends when the board is full with no moves left.

Made as a minimal, fully self-contained HTML5 game — a single file, no dependencies.
