Instructions

🎮 How to Play

Welcome to 2048 Magic Hex! Your goal is to merge identical numbers on a hexagonal grid to create the elusive 2048 tile. After each move, a new number (either a 2 or a 4) appears. Swipe or use arrow keys to shift all tiles in that direction. When two identical numbers collide as you move them, they combine into their sum. The game ends when the grid is full and no more valid merges can be made. This fun twist on the classic 2048 formula requires strategic foresight and quick addition skills!

🕹️ Controls

Desktop/Laptop Players:
• Use the Arrow Keys (Up, Down, Left, Right) to shift all tiles in that direction.
• Alternatively, use the W, A, S, D keys for movement.

Mobile/Touchscreen Players:
• Simply Swipe on your screen in the direction you wish to move the tiles.

🎯 Objectives

The primary objective is to successfully merge your way to creating the 2048 tile to win the game! Your short-term goal is to keep the board as uncluttered as possible by planning merges. For a high score, aim for larger chains of combinations and avoid filling the board prematurely. Long-term, challenge yourself to beat your personal best score and see how high of a tile you can create beyond 2048 for ultimate bragging rights!

💡 Pro Tips

• 🎪 Corner Strategy: Try to keep your highest-value tile in one corner and build descending values around it. This is more challenging but crucial on a hex grid.
• ⚡ Plan Merges Ahead: Always look several moves ahead. Think about where new tiles will spawn and how they will affect your potential merges.
• 💰 Combine Big Tiles: While making small merges is necessary, focus on setting up larger combinations. A single merge of two 1024 tiles is worth far more than many small 2s and 4s.
• 🏆 Stay Flexible: The hexagonal grid offers more movement angles than a classic square one. Use this to your advantage to recover from a tight spot by shifting your strategy.
• Keep the Board Free: Avoid filling up the center of the grid early on. A cluttered center severely limits your movement options and often leads to a game over.
