I wish Threes! was this easy. Fun but too easy (beat it second time). This is a good thing for me so I won't waste more time on it :)
Thanks for making it though, was a fun distraction.

#32Still makes me sad that people are calling these 2048 clones when Threes started it all off.
Threes wasn't FOSS so it's legally easier to say "2048 clone".

#33I bet this on the first go, without thinking of an in-depth heuristic. Maybe I was lucky, but it doesn't seem to hard. I struggled with this version, which is kind of similar: http://joezeng.github.io/144/
Not beat yet, but I don't think it is possible to algorithmically.
144=3 x 48 ; 48=3 x 16
16 is 'easy' to create - if you can avoid creating any three-pairs.
The trick of this game is that you can have 3,4,5 pairs. There may be some ways to choose 4 and 5 pairs along with the easier 2 and 3 pairs to win it - my efforts so far with the simple strategy produced two 48 pairs, and a seemingly random chance at producing an elusive third 48th pair, so any solution I would think would be considerably more difficult, if one exists at all.

#345% winers until now :) Or the players are too smart or the game is not too hard ?
If you're looking to add difficulty, it might make sense to remove a horizontal and vertical row and make it 4x4.

#36This is the first one of these in a while that felt qualitatively novel to me. Nice work!
I'd add at least one more level, since it should clearly be possible to reach higher tiles than 243.

Yeah, this one doesn't seem so hard. Variants like 144 are a challenge because you can fill the board with tiles that can never lead to your goal, and it's easy to get into a situation where you can't help generating them.
I thought I'd ask for a goal 3^6 (729). But this is impossible with this algorithm.

#38it's addictive too. Again, playing games all day.
