The JAR and JAD are the Original Java ME Version for phones and emulators. How to install.

About

The sliding number puzzle where equal tiles combine into their sum. Tiles glide smoothly, merged tiles pulse, and one undo per move rescues a slip of the thumb. Three boards: the classic 4x4 race to 2048, a tight 3x3 to 256 and a roomy 5x5 to 4096.

Objective: Create a tile with the target number (2048 on 4x4) before the board fills up.

Modes: 4x4 to 2048, 3x3 to 256, 5x5 to 4096
