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's true. :)

Anyway managed to get to 1024 + 512 + 256 after that without random button mashing.

Hey, author here! I'm pretty overwhelmed that this made it to the top of HN without me even thinking of posting it here :) I made this game as a fun weekend project, inspired by another game called 1024 ( https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/1024!/id823499224 ) and a spinoff called 2048 ( http://saming.fr/p/2048/ ). I did mine to add animations to the latter, which was a bit hard to play without them. I discovered Threes…

Just wanted to let you know (but wanted to wait before somebody would down vote such a comment here) that I really enjoyed your game, thanks and cheers!

Thanks to the author, I've decided it's a game for my 7-year old boy :)

The latest stats show no "game-win" events :P It might just be a matter of time though. EDIT: oops, there was a bug in the win/lose tracking so I probably missed out on a few wins. I fixed it now, so it should hopefully track it if someone else wins!

I'd be interested in seeing the lowest winning score, highest winning score, and lowest losing score (!)

Managed to purposefully lose with 627 points. Lowest I've managed to lose by. :)

4s reduce the total score. (E.g. I won with a score of about 20200 once.)

i stand corrected

Great! Now I can play it from my mobile browser. LOL. Anyway I could win twice in a day, by using the same algorithm. But still challenging and fun though.
