or
Swipe gestures (Mobile)
2. Movement
• When you make a move, all tiles slide in that direction
• Tiles slide until they hit the edge or another tile
• After each move, a new tile (2 or 4) appears in an empty spot
3. Merging
• When two tiles with the same number collide, they merge into one
• The merged tile has a value equal to the sum (e.g., 2 + 2 = 4)
• Each tile can only merge once per move
4. Scoring
• You earn points equal to the value of merged tiles
• Merging two 64 tiles = +128 points
• Your best score is saved automatically
