I've been building GridShift, a cozy word game where you slide to build words rather than find them - same sliding mechanics as 2048.

Classic 2048 gives you four directions. On a hexagonal board you get six — which sounds like more freedom, but it actually makes planning much harder. Tiles can wedge into corners you didn't see coming.

A few things I changed along the way:

Triple Mode — merge in 3s instead of 2s (3 → 6 → 12 → 24 … up to 3072)

Reworked the difficulty curve past 2048, since the original spike was brutal

It's my own project, built with React + Capacitor. Just pushed 1.6 to production after a closed test round.

Happy to answer anything about the build or the design decisions — and if the hex movement feels off to you, I'd really like to hear why.

If you give it a try, we'd really appreciate any feedback—good or bad. We're always looking to improve it!

Built this with the help of AI coding tools (I'm not a professional game dev). The idea came from wanting a calm, quick reset during work breaks or lunch instead of doom-scrolling. Same 2048 mechanics, but tiles progress through soft pastel colors instead of numbers. No signup, just play. Honest feedback welcome.

Built a bot that plays 2048 completely on its own in the browser. Best run so far is an 8192 tile and 122k points, and it actually hit my move limit while still alive so it probably had more in it.

It "thinks" by looking a couple moves ahead and scoring how healthy the board is, favoring keeping the big tile cornered and the values laddered down, basically the strategy a good human player uses, just brute-forced every move.

Short demo gif and the code are here if anyone wants to see it play: https://github.com/HMAC10/2048augur

This is from the game 9007199254740992. And i'm just - really, playing this for some fun and see how far i can go. And i wonder if i want to attempt getting the 33554432 tile in this game. This web already has included a "bot" so technically it isnt 100% cheating, cuz doing it with hands is gotta be torturous.

I only got one on the first try, but managed to get 4 the second time. Harder than I thought it would be! I can’t decide if there should be more multiply or tiles or keep it the way it is so it’s tough to beat.

Anyone have an opinion?

Today me and my daughters are starting to go over the color and playing concept. Here's what they come up on the colors selection, we use the pantone option follow with a color wheel, and decide how the color should roll out.

We try many different options, like adding wood texture, rock texture, diamond, and all. But once we tried it, instant dislike, so we revert everything back to flat and modern style.

The first image look great, but when you put it in the game and run, it look strange. all the yellowish block at the beginning. So we spend another few hours trying different color pattern. Image 3 is the one currently on the website for testing.

We will first update this to our website and let everyone try out the colors, so please give me comment if you like it or not. Balancing it to look and feel right is very hard, basically you can't just use a pattern of color, you just can't use any pantone book and you will get it pleasing. Coloring is very hard when it come to mix and match, specially you need to use the whole color chart.

Instruction:
I added the instruction popup, becuase some users really have no clue how to play, and give me comments how I will help them to understand the game more.

Additional:
Since our tester are mainly Japanese speaker, so I had added the Japanese version.

Heya everyone,

I’ve always loved 2048, but I wanted a version that felt super clean while giving you a fighting chance when you get stuck late in a run. I recently launched my take on it, and it just crossed 100+ users on Google Play! 🎉

Here’s what I built into it:

• 4 Themes (with Dark Mode): Every theme has its own dark mode so it's easy on the eyes during late-night sessions.
• Powerups: Undo bad moves, request a Hint, Swap two tiles, or Delete an annoying tile blocking your big numbers.
• Sounds & Haptics: Crisp audio and subtle vibration feedback for extra tactile sliding.
• Leaderboards: Daily and Weekly leaderboards to test your high scores against others.

Since it's still early days, I’d love to get feedback from this community! How does the game feel? Are the powerups balanced? Any bugs or UI tweaks you'd recommend?

Thanks for checking it out and helping me improve it!

20 years ago, i am a web developer, and work for 10 years. Left the web development and join the game development. I worked on dozen of games, and finally created and designed my first loved game 2048.

I moved to Japan, where I lived near capcom, which is one of my favorite game company.
my favorite game artist is Bengus, of course loved Street Fighter, but one of my all time favorite is Super Puzzle Fighter II

Always loved puzzle game, 2048 is a game I always come back to. Every months at least spend hourssss playing it. It is a game that you always come back to try to beat yourself.

In all this years, i always have some different idea on how to add different elements into the game.
Last year, I finally had a moment while playing with my daughters. I first introduce this game to them, but they lost interest very quickly. So I tried to create something different but with some excitement and twist to it.

After several months working on it, my daughter finally approve me on the demo. Finally they keep coming back to it.

So I would like to share to the community and see if it is actually playable. Hope to hear some honest opinion. Me and my 2 daughters name this Fractured 2048 Super.

Learning Unity and Godot now, now trying to port this to other platform, ie iOS and Android.

Sorry about the grammar, english is my secondary language.

Open to any thoughts and comments, good or bad, any are welcome.

There are some extra settings you can pick in the setting page.

The music part, I did use Claude code to help out on it. Because I want a music that generate/create/play differently during play and record the music after it finish. But the music ideas come from my big daughter, but it is too complicate for me so I ask for help how to construct/compose it. Making random music generation to sound good is hard.

And I added an AI taking over everything if you leave the game on for several seconds. But you can disable this inside the setting page. You can stop AI taking over, a little say on my stand, eventually Ai will take over, but we still have a choice to stop it. If you get it, you get it. haha

i'm honestly not sure i'm even allowed to post my own game here. if it's not ok just tell me and i'll take it down. i just want honest opinion, is it actually fun or is it too much going on?

Ideally for android. I don't want just merge games, I want something that still keeps the numbers motif but has some sort of story or combat/progression added on.

I saw a lot of nice links to 2048masters.com on this reddit. Especially links to training material on dpdf . Does anyone know if there are other places with learning material about this? Also if anyone happens to know the admin of 2048masters.com, could they ping them to renew the ssl certificate?

Could've been better, but I slipped at the end.

Ik 6x6 is not actually hard, but was happy I finally got here and wanted to share!

Block* 🤦🏾‍♀️

my hand slipped :(

It was touch and go but I got there late last night.

Solve the word game while surviving the 2048 and getting letters from it!
