2048: Worlds of Time

Swipe, Merge, Build. A 2048 Deckbuilding Roguelike.

You know the rules: slide tiles, match numbers, and aim for that elusive 2048 tile. But what if every move mattered against the clock? What if you could build your own deck of tiles, creating powerful synergies to conquer ever-increasing challenges?

2048: Worlds of Time fuses the classic sliding puzzle with the strategic depth of a deckbuilding roguelike. This isn't just about getting a high score; it's about survival.

Features

• A True Roguelike 2048: Each "run" is a unique journey. Face a series of challenges ("blinds") with escalating goals and tight timers. One wrong move or a moment's hesitation could end your run.
• Build Your Deck: Forget random 2s and 4s. Start with a basic set of tiles and visit the shop between rounds to customize your deck. Add high-value tiles, delete weak ones, and forge a strategy that's all your own.
• Unleash Powerful Synergies: Discover game-changing special tiles.
  • Duplex Tiles: These tiles double their value on a merge, causing explosive chain reactions!
  • Wild Tiles: A Wild 32 can merge with any tile of value 32 or lower, offering incredible flexibility.
• Conquer the Worlds of Time: Battle through distinct worlds, each with its own "Warrior," "Guardian," and "Boss" blind. Every world features a unique, stunning color palette and a dynamic soundtrack that shifts with the intensity of the challenge.
• Permanent Upgrades: Use your victories to purchase permanent run enhancements, like extra time on the clock, giving you a better chance to conquer the final boss.
• A Full Story & Soundtrack: Uncover the secrets of a fraying timeline through a mysterious narrative, all set to an incredible original score that evolves as you play.

How to Play

Your goal is to survive a gauntlet of 9 fights across 3 worlds.

1. Play a Blind: You'll be given a goal (e.g., create a 256 tile) and a time limit. Play 2048 to reach the goal before time runs out! The tiles that spawn are pulled directly from your deck.
2. Visit the Shop: If you succeed, you'll enter the shop. Choose one of three powerful upgrades: add a new special tile to your deck, upgrade an existing tile's value, or even remove a tile you no longer need.
3. Face the Next Challenge: With your newly improved deck, take on the next, tougher blind.
4. Repeat: Continue this loop, building power and adapting your strategy to defeat the final World Boss.

Can you master the worlds of time and build the ultimate deck? The continuum depends on it.
