yeah, 512 is my highest i think

it has a mechanic that kind of encourages you to just click away at it, which doesn't help once things get tight
― first rule of franco club (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 13 March 2014 18:42 (twelve years ago)
my high score is 4676 - i think i got half away from 2048, so 1024?
― Mordy , Thursday, 13 March 2014 18:45 (twelve years ago)
I've hit the low 6000's in points but don't think I've exceeded the 512 guy
― Clay, Thursday, 13 March 2014 19:19 (twelve years ago)
my highest score is 18000, a 1024 and 2 512s and some other stuff

ok only one 512
― caek, Thursday, 13 March 2014 20:18 (twelve years ago)
my trick is to start with and keep the big numbers at the top, and never ever press down unless you have no other move
i was wondering if the best solution is purely algorithmic, but i guess the random placement of new 2 tiles stops that. i couldn't tell if it was actually random or not, though
― ♛ LIL UNIT ♛ (thomp), Thursday, 13 March 2014 20:25 (twelve years ago)
sometimes the new tile is a 4 and i want to kill myself!
― caek, Thursday, 13 March 2014 20:27 (twelve years ago)
i've got a slight hunch this might be an elaborate practical joke, because i've been playing in for enough hours straight to feel like it's mathematically impossilbe
― caek, Thursday, 13 March 2014 20:28 (twelve years ago)
have the biggest number in a corner too btw
i think?
the counter-intuitive up-down-up or left-right-left to get things to align by spawning new tiles is mb key
how many hours straight is enough, caek
― ♛ LIL UNIT ♛ (thomp), Thursday, 13 March 2014 21:00 (twelve years ago)
With caek's "never press down" policy I got the 1024, with a score of 12688. Enough for tonight!
― emil.y, Thursday, 13 March 2014 21:42 (twelve years ago)
yeah the Caek Method has greatly improved my score, can't recommend it enough
― 1staethyr, Thursday, 13 March 2014 22:54 (twelve years ago)
got to about 14300 with the caek method. the 'endgame' of this is such a singular experience of being totally in the zone and madly frustrated simultaenously
― Clay, Thursday, 13 March 2014 23:50 (twelve years ago)
Ha I went through all this pain a month ago with Threes before eventually concluding there was too much randomness in there for it to be worth persevering.
― JimD, Thursday, 13 March 2014 23:51 (twelve years ago)
2048 is really ingenious, definitely have to not let myself play that anymore. The one thing is that the mechanic never quite locks into my brain, so I constantly end up zigging when I mean to zag and going "oh dammit that's not what I meant to do." Kinda needs an 'undo one move' feature but maybe that would ruin the fun?
Got miserably hooked on Super Crate Box last weekend - the instant respawn and fast pace really make "oh ONE more try to hit the number" tempting.

i went back, ugh, hi score 18,960
this could totally be the next tetris
― Doctor Casino, Friday, 14 March 2014 18:39 (twelve years ago)
WON thank god
― Doctor Casino, Friday, 14 March 2014 18:57 (twelve years ago)
Yesssssssssssssss. You sparked me into giving it another try. And I won, I won. *victory lap*
― emil.y, Friday, 14 March 2014 19:32 (twelve years ago)
I'd like to thank this thread, my computer, and especially the caek method.
caek method was KEY, I doubt this is winnable otherwise...too many ways to get a 2 taking up space, crammed hopelessly behind 128s and 512s.
― Doctor Casino, Friday, 14 March 2014 19:46 (twelve years ago)
I looked at a clock last night and it was like 12:44 and I mentally slammed the two 4's together to create an 8 and felt pretty bad for awhile
― Clay, Friday, 14 March 2014 20:12 (twelve years ago)
Haha, yeah, this has major Tetris afterimage effects, maybe made worse by our constant encounters with numbers. It's like I'm seeing into the Matrix, maaan.

follow the rules and it's just a matter of time till you reach the 2048 goal
― nostormo, Monday, 17 March 2014 23:27 (twelve years ago)
That's not a 'hack' or a 'cheat', it's a strategy. Grrr. And yes, it's the caek method - they say never press up, but the direction you avoid makes no difference, as long as you avoid one of them.
― emil.y, Monday, 17 March 2014 23:31 (twelve years ago)
hey guys i heard about this awesome hack to win this game, the secret is to be good at it, pass it on
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 17 March 2014 23:33 (twelve years ago)
it's a strategy to achieve at least 7000 points, as a better starting point to win the game.
you have to/need to press up once in awhile, but only once in long while!
more important - stick the highest score to the corner and never let it out of there.
― nostormo, Monday, 17 March 2014 23:38 (twelve years ago)
Yeah, we know.
