2048
Slide tiles, merge matching numbers and chase the 2048 tile — the viral puzzle that became H5 gaming's Hello World.
How to play
Gabriele Cirulli's original 2048 — the game that kicked off a hundred clones. Written in vanilla JavaScript with zero build step, MIT-licensed, and still the reference implementation for puzzle-game clarity.
Arrow keys or WASD; swipe on mobile. Matching numbers merge when they collide.
Integration notes
Re-skinning costs almost nothing: change the CSS palette and the title and it becomes your own brand. Touch events ship built in with smooth gestures — the single best opener for driving traffic.
