Community Insight:
And she often comes to us to ask us to help her out when shes about Toru out of options, its fun untangling the mess and make them all tidy again.
2248 is one of our favorite games, however the logic for this brand is not quite as intuitive as other brands Ive played. Im still trying to figure out the best combinations to get the highest block. The circle numbers are more difficult for us to spot patterns than the squares are. Creating higher numbers doesnt eliminate lower numbers so the possible sequences get shorter. Would like options for diff color combos, as well as shapes to select from. Also needs a brief reference guide to explain math logic etc. Im still looking for an infinity version of this game that doesnt end by creating an infinity block. This version ends rather quickly so far due to increased number variety on the board. Still fairly new to testing this version, will update if experience changes substantially over time. UPDATE 1: Im used to rounding UP for increased chain sequences in groups of 3, this app rounds DOWN: EXAMPLE: BIGDOGS: 2+2+2= 4 Other brands: 2+2+2= 8 we prefer the idea of a reward/rounding up for increased chains.
Love the game and have played it for years! Totally worth it! Challenge you to get to a billion points too! Took us 2 years and counting : ).
We originally downloaded because the numbers were significant to us. A month later and we still havent stopped playing it. We love the option to remove the ads. That way we can play nonstop.
Unlike other 2248 puzzles, this game is simple and no pressure. Unlike the others which want money to continue and get scores out of reach, this game is a genuine puzzle and fun. Stick with the fundamentals. Love it.
We purchased the ad-free version and we are still getting ads. It makes it too annoying to play.
Cant play for more than 25-30 seconds without an ad appearing. Ridiculous. Unnecessary and terrible. Do not install.
ENJOY THIS GAME. WOW. BAD REVIEWS AND STILL HAVE A 4.8 RATING. SOMEBODY KnoWS SOMEBODY IN HIGH PLACES. RIGHT TO IT. We USED TO ENJOY THIS GAME. PLAYED FOR HOURS AND DAYS AND MONTHS. THEN IT STARTED . DEVELOPER JUMPED ON THE AD HAPPY GREEDY DEVELOPERS IN THE APP STORE BANDWAGON! HAVING AND AD POP UP EVERY TIME we REACHED A NEW HIGHER NUMBER, ENTERING INTO GAME, CHANGING SCREEN, RESETTING, SETTINGS BUTTON, TAP TAP TAP AD AD AD AD! We HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE OTHER DEVELOPERS RATINGS ON GAMES we DELETED DUE TO EXTREME OVER USE OF ADS. DOWN RATINGS ARE FALLING RAPIDLY. USERS ARE FED UP. ALSO, THE GAME NEVER ASKED FOR ME TO ACCEPT THE PRIVACY POLICY BEFORE we PLAY THE GAME. NOW EHEN we GO TO GIVE A CHANCE AGAIN AND DOWNLOAD, we HAVE TO ACEPT THE PRIVACY POLICY TO PLAY. NO THANKS.
We have no problems with ads but when you render the game to where you have to exit and go back in to get rid odds it goes too far.
This game is really well done. It uses little battery; the design options are minimalistic and gorgeous; it saves your progress even if you close the app; and it plays very smoothly on our iPhone XS Max. We gladly paid the very fair price to remove ads, and there are no other IAPs. Being able to remove ads is a great option, because now we can play without interruption. And since the app always saves progress, we dont have to worry about starting over if we need to quit. Thank you developer for a great game! This is one of the best linking-style match games Ive found. Its mature, intelligent, not childish. Great job.
Love this game. Started on the iPad with the 25 tiles. Tried on the phone one day. Astounded to discover not a 5×5 grid, but a 5×8 grid. The game is much more fun on the phone as it not only has more rows in which to work, but it also drops higher number tiles. PLEASE update the iPad version to match the phone version.
We love it so much and we can't stop playing we played it on a website and now we downloaded it our mom is addicted.
We spent countless months playing this game. Had worked up to a 67M tile and then all of the sudden, our game is completely gone. We always maintain at least one move that is never touched and we know for an absolute fact that we did not lose the game on our own. We are very devastated by this. We can't recommend this game because all of that time invested is now completely gone and was out of our control.
You can get all the way to the 4K tile and then it stops letting you play completely and an ad shows up that cant be dismissed. Otherwise its an good implementation of this style of game.
Its so slowly after several played and come out of app middle the game.
Ive had 2 million points twice and then we get zapped while Im still playing. We love the game but this is frustrating.
Don't spend your money to get rid of the annoying ads. It won't work.
The game resets itself and we loose all progress. Has happened multiple times.
We wanted this game very much as it was our favorite on Android. We paid for the add free version there. We cant seem to get an add free version of this, and after a few days of struggling with the adds we have deleted the app.
Too many ads, if u select to rearrange numbers an ad appears and will not let u continue the game, the ad stays visible in the center of the screen, our patience wearing thin on this game due to this intrusive ad.
We love this game but it keeps messing with our phone (opening other apps without being prompted and changes screens automatically in the Settings App). Never had that problem before and when we deleted this game it hasnt happened again. Please fix it, would love to play it again.
We dont mind having ad on top or the bottom but when ad is covering your screen right in the middle it makes it impossible to play.
Ive enjoyed this game so much until the ads pops up like bruh this is a simple game why.
We have Alzheimers disease within our bloodline; therefore, we were seeking brain games! Our daughter recommend this, and we already like it.
Very fun and addictive. Can you add a top 10 scores ranking or similar? Would want the app to keep track of high scores.
Love the game. Better on the iPhone though, since big numbers drop once big matches are made. Would be much better if the drops grew as the matches grew. Tough to get to 131K for example with all 2s on the board. The same feature should be available on the iPad.
Wheres the high score? No point of this game if it doesnt keep your high score.
The game itself is fine, but there are too many spammy ads, the most recent of which is an annoyingly loud millennial with snapagram filter eyes shouting HEL-LO-O! And advertising some type of blog we couldnt care less about.
The game is very good, helps you to release stress and relax a bit from daily routines.
