A New Number-Crunching Puzzle Game Called 2048 Is Said To Be The New Sensation In The Addictive Gaming Segment
The free app doesn't involve any graphics or colors like you've seen with Flappy Bird and Candy Crush. Just like Flappy Bird, it looks utterly simple but far from being simple. It is free. It is addicting. It is frustrating.

Those who will be playing on their computers just need to press the arrow keys while those on their mobile devices will have to just swipe their screens to move the "2," "4", "8," "16," and so on tiles to add them up together .

The rules are simple (but winning isn’t): move the arrow keys around to combine matching tiles until they add up to 2048

myfoxny.comThe New Gaming Craze Was Created By Gabriele Cirulli, A Young Programmer Who Lives In Northern Italy
2048, the creation of a 19-year-old Italian programmer named Gabriele Cirulli, showed up free and fully open-sourced on Github earlier this month. The game is Web-based, although a mobile site is also available, and plenty of unofficial ports for Android and other platforms have begun to pop up.
cnet.comCirulli debuted the game on March 9. Three days later he tweeted that thousands of people were playing the game at one moment:

By March 16, Cirulli estimated that collectively over 520 years had been spent playing the game in its first week online. Still, he said he has no plans to monetize his game and warns against downloading imitation apps, claiming that some developers have been impersonating him on the Google Play store to boost downloads.

cnet.comSeeing How 2048 Was Growing, Some Mad Genius Combined Flappy Bird With It And Created - Logarithmic Flappy 2048
The games Flappy Bird and 2048 have proved to be two of the most addictive, enraging games of the year so far. And now, some genius has combined them into one game. The inventor, who posted the creation to the Hacker News news board, calls it “Logarithmic Flappy 2048.”
The Game Takes Place On The 2048 Puzzle Grid, But Gameplay Is More Like Flappy Bird
The screen scrolls to the side, like in Flappy Bird, and you are trying to maneuver your square through two vertical obstacles. If you touch one of them, your game ends. With each successful pass through the obstacles, your square doubles, like it does in 2048 after a match.
The goal is to get the highest score possible. The game is much, much easier than both 2048, which takes some real reasoning skills, and Flappy Bird, which requires more dexterity and timing. You’re probably better off playing either of those games if you’re looking for a true time-waster. Follow this link to play Logarithmic Flappy 2048.
