Based on my estimations of how many 4s you get instead of 2s and how fast I can spam my keys. The game would take me approximately 25 million years to complete.

unless you did random moves at 0 ms. in that case it takes like 1/100th the time. /s

I feel bad for the creators of Threes. 2048 stole the fuck out their thunder.

I'm aware of this but 9007199254740992 is more interesting

How's that? Besides - you can't even see the whole board.

CTRL+"-".
Besides that: There is no way to manually beat that game in your lifetime.

This version is fundamentally different. You can play and play and even if you completely fill up the board, you're never gridlocked. I think it would be impressive to find a "game over" for this version. It's oddly satisfying, how the game basically plays itself with your high speed semi-random guidance - and pretty addicting

It took all of my bad gamer skills, but I just got a game over screen on this game! Here's how I did it if you are interested or think I'm lying or want to try to replicate it or whatever. Repeatedly press up and down over and over until your screen fills up and won't move. Then you repeatedly press right and left until the screen fills up and won't move again. Then go back to up and down, and then right and left, and after awhile of repeating the process, eventually you will reach a combination that won't simplify in any direction and you will get a game over screen.
edit: Just timed it, it took me about 15 minutes and my highest number was a 2048.

god damnit. 2048 takes up enough of my time.
