That was fun! But I was able to solve the puzzle by continually rotating the same direction. I bet this was tried, but what's play like with the same game mechanics of this version, but with the original game play, where each move gives you a new block?

You have a pause in there where the tiles take a moment. Please let us use that pause to rotate a second time before the tiles fall so we can also get the pieces to move across the board rather than just slide parallel.

Thanks, I love and hate it!

I’ve been obsessively playing another 2048 variant which was a recent Show HN[1], and has confounded me since. Yours has a much gentler learning curve and obviously isn’t designed to be unbeatable. Rotating the whole board will probably continue confounding me in entirely different ways.

I’m not gonna ruin the original game’s mechanics for anyone who hasn’t already had them ruined, but I will say I recently tried exactly this strategy in the original and it gets you surprisingly far. But it’s definitely not a winning strategy.

Fiendishly masochistic, thanks for sharing.

Sure that solves the puzzle in 27 moves. So try to solve it in less moves.
