I've been playing this all day today. I basically created my own demise.

Just be glad you are already immune to Tetris.

Best strategy (for me) seems to be to play it like tetris. Never ever use the up key and create a row at the bottom where everything collapses into it.

This sort of clicked towards, oooh I don't know about 1:30am this morning.

Holy shit I just lost like 45 minutes to this.

Creating a game that you, the creator, can't stop playing is the sign of a pretty good game. It's like "eat your own dog food", but with crack.

Ran your strategy 162 times with autoit of which the following blocks came by: [128]: 150 times, [256]: 36 times, [512]: 13 times, [1024]: 0 times. Anyone else a good suggestion for an optimal "blind" strategy?

Perhaps I had a little bit of luck. But this shows you can easily get to 256 with little dedication. After which you can start to puzzle things together. Also about your autoit "analysis" 36 + 150 + 13 != 162

Well, when it reaches a 256 block, it also reached a 128 block, so some games count for 2 or 3 blocks.

That sort of works, I've been using a similar strategy but switching what I call "bottom" whenever the moment suits.

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

I was so addicted to Drop7, and so annoyed at the crappy Android version, I made my own HTML/JS version with appcache, so I could play it in chrome offline: https://github.com/pavellishin/drop7

Awesome work, thanks for posting. I too was annoyed at Android support. It could be one of their more popular games if it was just updated a little.

Yes! At the very least put up a BTC or Dogecoin address we can send donations to!

Or maybe go buy Threes which this is a descendant of? http://asherv.com/threes/ Nice clone but it's definitely a clone and so should be treated as such.

iDevices only. Bleh.

And now we start the social experiment: "Will 2048 ever reach 2048 points on HN? And how long will it stay at exact that number of points?" Good luck everyone! ;)

Unfortunately, no. It hit 2089 Tues. morning PDT.
