Hello world!

I am new to game development, and this is my first upload to itch.io!

Spent some time to learn how to code, make Unity games, and here I am. And boy, game development isn't easy. I know how saturated the 2048 puzzle concept is in the game world. Yet I wanted to try something different, with the most familiar game mechanic. And of course, the development itself must fit my capabilities.

Enough being said, I made a simple 2048 merge defense game.

Challenge your brain and agility with the new game, 2048 Defense, which combines math and strategy! Based on the addictive number puzzle of 2048, this game incorporates tower defense elements to block waves of enemies.


0. You can swipe anywhere on the game screen to move your tiles! (You can use your Keyboards too!)

1. Make sure to purchase Items, in the item shop!

2. Merge tiles using the familiar 2048 rules to deal greater damage.

3. Compete with players worldwide and aim for the highest score.

4. If the target reaches the starting point, it is game over! You can use your items until the very last point.

5. Make sure to write your initials in the leader board!


Reaching the top score won't be easy.

So please enjoy! Any comments or feedback below will be much appreciated.  And thank you for playing!

This game is interesting, but I'm not actually sure what the loss condition is. 

The loss condition is simple : if the target reaches the starting point. Contrary to the classic 2048 game, it is not game over, even if you can no longer move the tiles! Thank you for the comment and thanks for playing!

Made it to 110!  Very fun game, great additions to the 2048 formula

110 is a lot of commitment, and not an easy score! Thanks for playing ben!

Some notes!

  • It won't let me change my name on the leaderboard today, it's stuck as "Player4387".   
  • It'd make sense to have an open leaderboards button in the game over screen
  • You should probably rename the shop from "Item" or add a separate shop button, as it's not clear you need to click on it to open the shop.  Maybe you could highlight it and pause the game the first time you get over 150 coins.
  • It's not clear you need to trigger the damage / time stop upgrades after buying them.  you should just write that in the store or add an explanation for the single use icon.
  • Item idea!:  An item that removes the ten lowest tiles, or all tiles under 4 or something, as an alternative or replacement to shuffle (I bought it once and got zero new merge opportunities lol)
  • It'd be cool if there was a sound effect when you reach important coin milestones for purchasing items. I find myself being inefficient just because I forget to keep an eye on it while I'm 2048ing
  • I love the game :D

Wow great feedback! Thanks for the great ideas, I will definitely consider your feedback in future development! You can only change your name once per day. Maybe it somehow got edited today.  I will check if there is anything wrong. Again, thanks for playing!

Cool idea but I can't pass level 10. All the best!

It requires some speed, and must purchase some items! Hope all is well. Thanks for playing!

Oh I didn't realize there were items, I also got stuck on ten!

Love the music
