About this game

"Basic rules
Game Grid: The game is played on a 4x4 grid

Movement method: Swipe in any direction (up, down, left, right) to move all blocks

Merge rules:

1 + 2 = 3

Starting from 3, only the same numbers can be combined (for example: 3+3=6, 6+6=12, 12+12=24, etc.)

game mechanics
New blocks appear: after each move, a new block is generated from the side opposite the sliding direction

Next block preview: The value of the next block will be displayed at the top of the screen

Game Over: The game ends when no moves are available

Scoring system
Your score is calculated based on the value of the remaining squares on the board:
