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/ ).

You bastard! I had to work today!

Any other similar pattern would also work: right + d…

Yeah, same here. As long as you keep your high numbers against once side and the low numbers against the other, it's not hard. Pick one direction that you never ever use and you do fine.

The best thing about this game is that you can press the arrow keys randomly for about five minutes and anyone walking past thinks you're incredibly good at the game. Just make sure you lose after they walk past.

A little bit too similar to 'threes' on the app store.. I like it, but again, it's too much of a ripoff.
