Re: 2048
#13So I'm playing this since 10 minutes now and I have no idea what so ever I'm doing but it makes me feel like I'm performing well.
Re: 2048
#14A clone of a clone. Threes is a fantastic game and deserves this publicity.
That being said, this is a pretty well done clone clone.
Re: 2048
#15Maybe Monday morning is finding me too pedantic, but this is similar to Threes (http://threesgame.com), not just like Threes. There are some pretty obvious differences, from the movement of the tiles to the requirements for tile mergers (multiples of 2 rather than 3). The comments thus far do not make that distinction.

#16No one has mentioned it yet, but this is an in browser version of the excellent iOS app Threes: http://www.joystiq.com/2014/01/30/addictive-ios-puzzling-com... (no affiliation, just a fan)
It's similar, but different. With Threes you combine 1s and 2s to make 3s, then similar numbers to double them. Also, the tiles in Threes only shift at most one spot at a time - with this game, everything's flung to the other side of the board.

#17Hey, author here! I'm pretty overwhelmed that this made it to the top of HN without me even thinking of posting it here :)
I made this game as a fun weekend project, inspired by another game called 1024 (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/1024!/id823499224) and a spinoff called 2048 (http://saming.fr/p/2048/). I did mine to add animations to the latter, which was a bit hard to play without them.
I discovered Threes only today, and I had no idea it looked so similar. I searched a bit and it appears as if 1024 is also inspired by Threes, so my game is probably the last of a long chain of clones :P
The code is also open-source. You can find it here: https://github.com/gabrielecirulli/2048
Feel free to ask me anything, and thanks to everyone for the attention! :)
By the way, my highscore is somewhere around 6000. Admittedly, I'm quite bad at playing my own game :P
EDIT: Make sure not to get addicted!
EDIT 2: The game now has swipe gestures and vim keys support (added by @rayhaanj)!

Out of curiosity, I'd love to hear what your Google Analytics graphs look like! How long to people spend playing it?

10 minutes is farther than I got... I only now realize after the first run how to play the game. Dang, that can get addicting.
Re: 2048
#20Nice, only thing I don't like in the game is that I do better scores just doing (repeat((left or right once) + (up till it doesn't work anymore))) than when I think about my moves...
