It's maddening! 2048 seems like it's so ridiculously hard playing the normal way. Then you play this game an it seems like it should be impossible to lose 2048.
Don't feel bad, getting to 512 is child's play (a random algorithm can do it, in fact). Going the last two steps is where it gets impossible. Up until the 512 it seemed like nothing I did would slow it down, but once it reached that, the board was finally swamped by 8s and 16s and a few well-placed 2s and 4s in the worst pattern possible finally stopped it.
Now we need a multiplayer variant a-la puyo-puyo-pop.
