2048: FOUR IN A ROW

An interesting combination of game genres. Here you will find the math 2048, and grouping elements on the site by four in a row. However, it would be more correct not in a row, but next to. The same chips in this game must be grouped into four or more. Well, in the rules for moving elements around the field, everything here resembles old acquaintances Lines. The site has a honeycomb structure with hexagonal cells (simply-hexagons).

There is no clearly defined goal in the game, the motivation for the player is to break their own previous record in points. Consider the mechanism and rules. So, you need to move the chips on the court so that four (or more) identical ones are next to each other (touching at least one of the sides). Each chip has its own face value — a number on it, for example: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and so on. For the convenience of the player, each denomination is colored in its own color.

Combining, four chips form one of a larger denomination. The calculation is as follows: four or more twos are transformed into one eight (2 * 4 = 8), and four eights will give one 32 (8 * 4 = 32). As you can see, no matter how large the group of identical ones is, they are still converted into a single chip with a number calculated using the above formula. It should be noted that the place where a new chip appears after grouping is the cell where the last chip of the group is placed.

To move the chip to the selected location, make sure that the passage to the destination cell is clear. In other words, the selected chip should be able to pass to the target one through free cells. You will see the animation in the game, and the program will monitor the implementation of this rule independently, so you will not be able to make the wrong move.

And one more nuance. After each move that does not form a single group, five new chips appear on the site in random cells. You can find out what their denominations will be by looking at the scoreboard at the top: there they are all listed and updated before each next move.

The game lasts as long as it is possible to move the chips on the court. There is also a useful (but rather expensive) button with a zipper (at the bottom). By clicking on it (and paying with virtual earned coins), the player can remove any selected chip from the site.

Cool logic game, friends! Enjoy your stay!
