2048: New catchphrase game?

After the storm created by the evil flapping bird, which almost led to the destruction of myriads of smartphones, as well as the madness of hundreds of users, here comes a new game that could become the trend of the moment: 2048.

The basic idea that revolves around this app is in itself very simple: you have to touch each other of the blocks arranged on a chessboard, to generate multiples of two numbers. You can only make collide blocks of the same value, and you can move them all along one of four directions (of course if a corridor is blocked blocks along that row / column will stay in place). The victory is obtained at the time when the player fails to generate a block from the value of "2048". On the contrary, the game will end in the very moment in which all the boxes of the board will be filled.

The game is inspired by a version for the web created by Gabriele Cirulli, an Italian Web Developer, only 19 years old. Although the game may seem very simple and seemingly boring, I assure you that once you start it becomes a subspecies of "Flappy-drug" that will take you to try again and again to groped to overcome your own record and that of friends. There is also a mode "simplified" that allows you to win simply reaching 1024 points (but let's face it, the challenge is to 2048, 1024 are for the weak) as well as the "Endless" which instead allows you to go on to the bitter end .

So if you're tired of the usual apps, and you do not want to risk breaking your phone, this is definitely an application that is right for you. Great for whiling away the hours of university lecture and / or school taking coached the brain!

It is available for all smartphone with every platform.
