Roosterpunk is a structured tile-merging experience built around logical thinking, spatial planning, and controlled movement across a fixed grid. The gameplay takes place on a 4×4 board where numbered tiles appear and evolve through player interaction.
In Roosterpunk, tiles with values of 2 or 4 are generated on the grid. The player moves all tiles simultaneously in one of four directions: left, right, up, or down. When two tiles with the same value collide, they merge into a new tile with a higher value, following a clear numerical progression.
After each move, a new tile appears on the grid, increasing complexity and reducing available space. The player must carefully plan each action to maintain movement possibilities and avoid reaching a blocked state.
The objective is to create a tile with the value of 2048 or achieve the highest possible score through efficient merging. The game ends when all cells are filled and no further moves are possible.
The score reflects the result of tile merging and is recorded in the system if it is greater than zero. Progress is preserved even if the session is interrupted, whether the player exits to the menu or closes the application.
When the application is minimized or the player switches to another app, the game automatically pauses and opens a pause window. Upon returning, the player must close the pause window to continue gameplay.
Interaction logic ensures stability: during dialog windows, interaction with game elements is disabled. The system prevents multiple simultaneous inputs and does not allow overlapping actions. Movement input can be performed across the full active area, including below the visible game grid.
Roosterpunk focuses on strategic thinking, efficient space usage, and step-by-step progression toward higher tile values.
