Dude, we need to work. Please stop making variations of a highly addictive game. You’ve already destroyed our lives. Show some mercy.

While driving home from work, I almost thought about speeding into the car in front of me because it would make big number.

The other day I saw two identical items next to each other and thought "right-arrow".

I "seed" my game by mashing keys for a few seconds, then play normally. I might revert to mashing if I free up some space. edit Though the game also appears to be broken. This is my single player strategy too :)

You can semi-mash all the way up to 512 safely if you watch out for block buildup.

up-left over and over. when the top row is full, and your high block can't move right, you can move right. other than that, you up-left until you jam.

"I am sorry '2048' users, 22 hours from now, I will take '2048' down. I cannot take this anymore."

The Flappy Bird Effect: When a simple game rises in popularity leading other hackers to build an AI and multiplayer versions of it leading to its own demise. We should expect Gabriele Cirulli to be in Rollingstone next. :p

I'm convinced that there's a whole new ecosystem of hackers that will exist solely to clone simple games which rise in popularity.

This was the original plan, but I expanded it. I should be able to add it in the near future.

use webrtc, easy. then you wont even need your own backend.

webrtc is so unreliable (working on a project right now). For quick backend, use Firebase!
