That sort of works, I've been using a similar strategy but switching what I call "bottom" whenever the moment suits.
The enemy gate is down.
YES!

#362I feel like this game is a metaphor for buying SD cards. Finally beat it, 20588.
If only you could morph those old 2Gbs into 4Gbs, into 8Gbs...

I've been playing this all day today. I basically created my own demise.
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.
Too damn addictive.
Won a few times and still keep picking it up. Now the Tetris dreams are starting; must stop.

#364This game feels like life. I plan and make a move. Some pieces move exactly as I had wanted. A bunch of other pieces that I wasn’t looking at, also move. Some of these unexpected results surprise me and make me happy, I even subconsciously take credit for them. Some others, I don’t even notice. It’s okay, there is too much going on.
Sometimes it feels too hard and pointless to plan, so I am pressing the arrows almost randomly. Need a break from thinking and taking responsibility. I just hope that I am going in the “right” direction. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. It’s also hard to tell. Ah well.
Now I’ve been doing pretty well at this for a while, I am getting pretty good I think, I have it all under control. A few moves later, before I even know it …. oops! suddenly it’s all a mess! :(
But there are miracles also. I’ve been in this mess for a bit now and it’s not much fun. It’s slowed down and my heart is not in the right place. Suddenly, a couple of moves later, I am totally back in the game! I don’t know if I know this, but it was barely my doing!
Of course, it’s this elusive goal (of 2048 or 42 or whatever else), it’s the reason why I keep going. I am pretty sure it’ll be really cool once I get there :)

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.
They've been promising an android version for some time now. If they don't hurry up, though, they'll get beaten to it by clones.

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.
Yes, I won twice yesterday with this strategy.

awesome game. I love the math 2 * 1024 = 2048 4 * 512 = 2048 8 * 256 = 2048 .. 1024 * 2 = 2048 20480 is there a elegant formula to get to the minimum required points?
That's not quite the minimum points, since occasionally (10% of the time) a 4 spawns, instead of a 2.
that's incorrect.
just because a 4 gets spawned 10% of the time, doesn't mean that there couldn't be a game where 4 does not get spawned
