Combine numbered tiles by sliding them across a grid, merging matching pairs until you reach 2048. This Steam version of the classic puzzle offers controller support, an isometric visual mode, and achievement hunting for players already familiar with the formula. Best suited for those wanting a polished desktop version with leaderboard competition rather than the free original.

Having played around 11+ hours, I'm sitting at the top of all of the 4x4 leaderboards and feel like I can speak to the game. I've also unlocked most of the achievements (I've played plenty of 2048). I like having a good version of the game to play on Steam but let me give some criticism and suggestions...


EDIT - The Dev has continued to update the game to get many things added or fixed. ALL OF THE # ITEMS BELOW HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED.

1. The "Modern" mode is at an odd angle and lacks actual numbers to see your progess easily. You're going off visual 3-D bars that have similar colors at the higher numbers. Honestly, this mode hurt the hell out of my eyes after a while. Either add some numbers or change the colors drastically between numbers.

2. Add a dark theme to the classic 4x4 and 8x8 modes

3. The screenshot button with Steam (F12) does not appear to work with this game

4. Add an option to play without the undo button on Classic mode and have seperate leaderboards for those modes. The undo button is like playing the game on easy mode. ;)

5. Allow us to use the directional pad on a controller. I'm currently using the arrow keys on a keyboard because the analog stick is too easy to accidently make a mistake.

7. $1.99 isn't much to ask but .99 would be better. You can play this game MANY places for free so need to add more features and options if you're going to ask for $1.99. If you can do a lot of the requests that might be asked, I'd glady say $1.99 is more than fair.__EDIT__ This game is worth $1.99.



EDIT - Dev continues to update the game! Great work.

He added Survival mode, Time Trials, and Unmistakable (which is what item #4 above was asking for).

The only outstanding item from my list was a wish for trading cards. This will be up to Valve to allow and really isn't a big deal.

6. Trading cards with badges would be nice. Badges could be numbers going up to 2048. 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, and then 2048 as the foil badge maybe? Or start with 128 and hit 2048 on fifth badge with foil being a 2048 with cool difference.

rant start.

I love this game - played it to death on iOS

However - they have given it 5 achievements - none of which are skill or attempt based, just open the option menu or play this style.

It's a positive thumbs up, as it is a fun game IMHO anyway, and there are more options for the $1.79 asking price than the free iOS version, but please add some achievements related to game play - or, don't have them at all.

rant over.
