• How to Play

Use your controls to slide the 4x4 grid in the four main directions (up,down,left and right). All the cards in the grid will move accordingly, combining with each other when no movement to a free slot is possible.

The cards that may combine keeps the following schema:

1 + 2 = 3
3 + 3 = 6
6 + 6 = 12
12+12 = 24
...

And so on.

After no more moves left, the game ends, showing the score for every card higher than 2 that is on the grid. The higher the card is, the higher the score.

Up, Down, Left, Right : Arrow keys.
