2048.
Who would have thought one little number would cause so much frustration???
It’s been a while since we did a tablet game review so, here it is!
We were chatting about this on twitter a couple of weeks ago so I thought I’d write up a short post about the game. Here are the pros and cons:
Pros
- Free from the app store
- No facebook or real money needed for progression
- Improves skills – it’s a strategy game
- Super simple to use, even older kids could play it
Cons
- Extremely addictive!!
This little game is all about matching pairs of numbers by swiping up or down, which eventually add up to 2048. For example: match two 2’s, which makes 4. Match two 4’s which make 8. Match two 8’s which make 16 etc. The catch is, every time you move a number, a new one is created so you need to keep matching. If all the squares in the grind fill up, you loose.
My highest score is about 7000 points, which equates to making the number 1,024. I haven’t yet completed the game.
