How to play

Swipe to tip the whole board up, down, left or right. On a computer, use the arrow keys. Every tile slides that way at once. When two tiles with the same number squash into each other, they merge into one tile worth double. A new tile drops in after every move.

Get to 2048 and you win. If the board fills up with nothing left to merge, the game is over.

Why everything wobbles

The tiles aren't animations. Each one is a little ring of jelly, 16 particles held together by springs, simulated hundreds of times a second. That's why they lean on each other, squeeze through gaps, and sometimes merge in ways you didn't plan. If you like that sort of thing, there's a short write-up of how it works.

Float Away

Free to play here in your browser

Let go of a foil balloon and watch it float up. When two matching balloons touch, they merge into the next one, all the way to 9. It's like Suika turned upside down, with balloons that squeak.

Jellygon

Free on iPhone

Drop wobbly jelly shapes into a cup and squish matching ones together: triangle to square, square to pentagon, and on up. When the pile gets crowded, give it a shake.
