2048 Game

Game Rules

• Use arrow keys (desktop) or swipe (mobile) to move tiles
• When two tiles with the same number touch, they merge into one
• After each move, a new tile (2 or 4) appears in a random empty spot
• The goal is to create a tile with the number 2048
• The game is over when you can't make any more moves

Power-ups System

When you run out of moves, you can use power-ups as lifelines to continue playing!

• Undo: Reverse your last move and get a second chance
• Swap: Exchange the positions of any two tiles on the board
• Delete: Remove all tiles with a specific number value
• Limitation: Only one power-up can be used per game over
• Strategic use: Choose wisely - each power-up has 2 uses total per game

Winning Strategy

• Corner strategy: Keep your highest tile in one corner (preferably bottom-right)
• Build systematically: Arrange tiles in descending order along one edge
• Avoid scattering: Don't move tiles away from their target positions
• Plan ahead: Always have an escape route and don't get cornered
• Focus on large tiles: Create bigger tiles rather than chasing small ones
• Power-up timing: Save power-ups for truly stuck situations, not early setbacks
