On: 2048 – multiplayer

Seems rather buggy to me I'm afraid. I've observed:

* Timer runs out, game proclaims both players winner

* One opponent makes no moves for the entire game, proclaimed winner when timer runs out

* One player proclaimed loser at arbitrary point with timer still running and legal moves left in play

Everyone I played seems to be a bot - or they have super-human finger speed!

I "seed" my game by mashing < ^ > keys for a few seconds, then play normally.

I might revert to mashing if I free up some space.

edit Though the game also appears to be broken. This is my single player strategy too :)

You can semi-mash all the way up to 512 safely if you watch out for block buildup.

up-left over and over. when the top row is full, and your high block can't move right, you can move right. other than that, you up-left until you jam.

You can get pretty fast fairly easily. Just got the first 256 tile in 35 sec, first 512 tile in 1:12.

I will add to those: * sometimes system gets stuck and no competitor is found (well - maybe there really is no one else) * once board was loaded, for competitor blocks were moving so fast as if computer would play or some sort of bot
