About 2048 - Link 'n Merge
Even though number games seem to be popular, their influence doesn't usually spread beyond the game that they're in. In this game, you will not be escaping the numbers unless you make your own escape. The tools are the numbers themselves which you have to get sorted into more numbers that will get you ever closer to your goal. You may have a lot of options and mobility, but you'll still be trapped if you're too careless. Numbers can do a lot, but they're all about how you use them and how you think to get the most out of their values.
How to Play
2048 - Link 'n Merge is a 2D puzzle numbers game about trying to reach bigger and bigger numbers using the mouse. To select a bubble, move the cursor over to it and click the Left Mouse Button. Hold the button down and then drag a path to create a link between multiple bubbles. The goal is to reach the mythical number 2048 using the numbers on the board. As long as you can keep combining numbers, you can keep moving up. If you get locked out of any more moves, the game will end.
When you start, the play space will be filled with an assortment of number bubbles. You need to get bigger numbers by combining bubbles that all have the same value into an even bigger value. As long as the bubbles are one adjacent or diagonal, you can link as many of the same value bubbles together as you want. This will combine all the bubbles into a bigger bubble and allow for more bubbles to enter the board. Once you get a bubble that reads 2048, you'll win the game. If you get stuck, you can use power-ups to clear and shuffle the board to give you more chances.
Tips and Tricks
This is all about combining numbers and as long as you can link at least two, you'll always have a move to make. Possible links will pulsate after a few seconds, but take time to examine the full arrangement for the best moves. Power-ups are useful, but should only be used if you feel that a lockout is imminent.
