#32I wrote a similar game called Fibs, where the game mechanism is that adjacent Fibonacci numbers are combined to make the next Fibonacci number. It's also command-line based.

#33An android app would be nice, too.
See "Even" in the Play Store.

#35Awesome, we have a multiplayer version, a bot version, a terminal version,
what's next?
Who's gonna make the flappy bird version?

#36I'm genuinely addicted to this. I'd be very happy to pay $5 for a native 2048 iOS game – this will substitute my Flipboard use during my commute.
What would this offer over the official version other than "doesn't take up a tab in MobileSafari" (which could be fixed if the developer just added the right meta tags)?

There's Threes ( https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/threes!/id779157948?mt=8 ) which is similar but not the same (since it requires a 1 and a 2 to generate a 3, which makes it slightly more troublesome. I prefer powers of 2, too, they appeal my inner nerd.
Some important differences:
* the first step is explicitly 1 + 2 = 3 (which you mentioned), 1+1 and 2+2 do NOT add
* You move all tiles a single space at once, rather than 'to the edge'. Note tiles only merge when they push together, so an edge or other cards restricting their movement. This is a side effect design decision of single space moving. I do not know if two pairs will merge, e.g. will 3 + 3 + 6 + 6 leave 6 + 12? I suspect it will, but I haven't seen it.
* Numbers 1 and 2 both spawn, and there is a 'next number' indicator, although placement still appears random. (A 3 spawned in the tutorial, but I think that was a special case)
Overall this leads to a very different feel to the game.
Anything else I missed?

#39final nail in the coffin :). a highly addictive game in the terminal . Damn you hackers!! Love text based games and bonus for being in the terminal. Btw, I know a few p.eople mentioned that it collapses 2-2-4 kind of combinations in one go and I noticed that too. But, you know what, I personally like this variation.
Stay away from Rogue then -- I spent way too much time in grad school on that one!

#40You know, I wonder if we're about to see another tetris phenomenon. One of the miracles of tetris is that the game mechanics scaled from a few dots on an 80s era LCD keychain game to HDTV and surround sound.
Some kind of generalized 2048 game, with different or harder goals every "level" and some tweaked mechanics and we could see another one.
