One of the most popular games that is being played by many people all over the world is the 2048 game.
This mathematical game is played on a 4×4 tiled screen layout with the numbers 2 and 4 appearing on random tiles. The goal is to merge two adjacent tiles of the same value into a single tile of double the value. The game 2048 can be played either online or on your smartphone.
Modifications to the 2048 Game
At first sight, the dull screen layout with randomly placed numbers make it appear as if the game is an ideal choice for only adults and mathematical puzzle lovers. The popularity of the game has resulted in many variations of 2048 being developed. It is interesting to note that not all of these puzzles are mathematics oriented. Some of the variations just involve merging of identical pictures to form a new picture. This ensures that people of all age groups enjoy playing the game. However, all variations of the online game require the tile movement to be controlled using arrow keys. The following are some of the most well known variations of the 2048 game.
Doge 2048
This variation is sure to impress children. Animated pictures of different types of dogs appear on the tiles instead of the standard digits 2 and 4. Two identical dogs have to be merged to form a new dog on the merged tile. These attractive pictures are sure to lure children and enjoin them to continue playing the game until a match and merge is not possible. Apart from children, beginners can also play this game to have a fair understanding of how to play the actual 2048 game. Some similar variants are Doctor Who and Pokemon.
Tetris 2048
Are you a fan of the Tetris game? Is so, this game is undoubtedly your best bet. The screen layout presents a perfect blend of the Tetris and the traditional 2048 game. Numerical tiles keep falling from the top. As they land below, they have to be moved either to the left, right or in the downward direction to merge two identical tiles and form a single tile with double the value. This version can pose to be a little more challenging than the usual game because you are expected to match the tiles as they fall.
2048 Animated Edition
This game is an ideal choice for those who would love to play the classic 2048 game with a difference. Everything is just the same except for the fact that the numbers appear animated.
Flappy 2048
This version of the 2048 game takes its inspiration from the popular Flappy Bird game. The aim is to move a tile through a barrier. Each time you do this, your score increases.
The above are just a few of the many variations that are available. 2048 Alphabet, Reverse and 3D are some of them. There are also variations to the standard 4×4 layout. Some games are played on 5×5 tiled layouts and 6×6 tile layouts. However, none of the above variations has been created by the original developer of 2048. Nevertheless, they can be as interesting as the original game.
