2048 Game - Merge the Numbers Puzzle
Slide the numbered tiles with the arrow keys, WASD, or a swipe - equal tiles merge into their sum, and every move drops a new 2 (or occasionally a 4) onto the board.
Tiles glide with a short animation and pop when they merge, and each tile can only merge once per move - the same one-merge rule the classic puzzle uses.
