Game Play
Basics
This game is a unique spin on 2048. Rather than sliding tiles side to side or up and down you drop a ball from high above into a container.
When balls of the same numerical value touch they merge into a single ball valued at twice the smaller ball value.
The sequence of merging is 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1,024, & 2,048.
Each time you drop a ball you get another ball to drop, which can vary in value.
Balls with higher numerical values are larger.
2048 Mode
Merge balls until you get a ball valued at 2048.
The game ends when a ball passes through the horizontal fill line near the top of the container, or when you make it to 2048.
Endless Mode
You keep playing after merging to 2048 & can merge all the way up to 16,384 (which is 3 additional doublings after 2048).
The game ends when a ball passes through the horizontal fill line near the top of the container, or when you make it to 16,384.
Tips
In general it is best not to try to force matches that do not quite fit, as the balls can get stuck, preventing you from making other matches.
Try to keep lower valued balls near the top & sides of the playing field.
When you get a lower value ball stuck under balls try to merge those above it around to expose the lower value ball again.
Try to work in sequence so that you create chain reactions that merge many sets of balls in a row.
Whenever you create a long chain re-evaluate the layout of the remaining balls to see where it makes sense to try to merge.
Target Audience
The game is suited for players who like merging games.
The game has no adult themed content.
