I just beat it! First try.. but I've been addicted to Threes for the past week or so. http://i.imgur.com/nf25AVZ.png

I'm gonna call fake on this one.

With enough tries anything is possible. There is probably even a person who ascended nethack on his first try (using the wiki of course, we're still talking things with p > 0) and didn't play it again because it's too easy and boring.

Likewise. I had one game where I had a 256 block and two 128 blocks, but I ran out of room to maneuver before I could combine the 128s to another 256 and then combine the 256s to a 512.

by pressing up-right-down-left, then repeat, I managed to get to 512 two times...

I did it by pressing up-left-down-right, repeating each direction as many times as possible. That's the worst part - knowing that your carefully calculated playthrough is actually no better than someone just pressing the keys in a set order.

Hey, 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…

I haven't been this addicted to a game since Drop7.

Same!

Everything I had planned today has been put on hold until further notice. :)

A seriously great way to spend 30 minutes on hold with Verizon.

Holy shit I just lost like 45 minutes to this.

Evil evil game.

And to quantify the evilness -- 1024 and exactly 12000 points.

No 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 much better than Threes because there's not a single reason why Threes should take almost 1 min to start on iPhone 4S.

Stealing all your contacts takes time, you know?...

Edit: I have completely misunderstood this game. Very fun though.

I think u misunderstood the game. u need to get the number 2048, not 2,0,4,8 in some order. Your score will be around 6k atleast if u win. Also, shit loads of time 'wasted'.
