2048

[LinksLegionaire (Bandalorian)]

This is getting out of hand. My latest game took like 2 hours. I prefer playing in practice mode since you can get higher scores haha.

Took me awhile but I got this…

I just got a new phone and have been playing it nonstop. I thought I was pretty good, until I came onto this thread…

I still suck. I haven’t even got 2048 yet. Every time I feel unstoppable and on a roll, the “checkerboard” pattern of 2’s and 4s gets me:

24
42

… when I’m down to only two “working” columns. If you don’t get exactly the right random pop, you’re done.

Not to say I’m “doing it right”… just that I’m on a roll. Kyle’s scores clearly reflect that there’s a way to solve this problem that I haven’t figured out yet. Haha!

My trick is that I only swipe in 3 directions. I try to keep my highest number on the bottom right (NEVER swiping left) and try to build off that in an up-and-down pattern.

Yeah, I cribbed that (I never swipe right) and it’s what definitely gets me on the rolls. But then I box myself into that checkerboard of 2’s and 4’s eventually. Practice and pattern recognition I guess.

Yep!

I was using a pretty clean system until I was forced to push them all down. Luckily, I clamored out my first success.

There’s a practice mode? Where?

[Casey888]

ohai just noticed this

My PB is the 8192 tile. Iirc the score was around 80K

I believe it depends on which app store you get the game through. I’m running Android so I got my version off Google Play. The practice mode was a recent update.

[Logi]

Uhggggg so close…

[StrippedAxle]

I got my first 2048 the other day. Very proud moment for me.

[LinksLegionaire (Bandalorian)]

I hit one million on a game.

[GregP]

Photoshop.

Just kidding.

But no, it’s Photoshop.

Seriously, this time, just kidding.

I still haven’t even hit 2048. I don’t try that often, but you’d think I’d have hit it by now.

I hit one million on a game.

How many undos?

[LinksLegionaire (Bandalorian)]

@G2 Jake

How many undos?

Couple hundred thousand haha. That game was meticulously crafted over the course of about a week.

Lol, try it like the rest of us have to do it.

[Yoyo]

If you run Android you can undo it too.

Haha yeah I quit doing practice mode after that game. High score without any undos: 60856.
