Amber 2048

Amber 2048 is the 2048 you know, made quietly well. And it does not spy on you.

No account. No tracking. No analytics. No ads that follow you around the internet. Your game stays on your phone, where it belongs.

SWIPE, MERGE, 2048

Four tiles by four. Swipe and every tile slides as far as it goes; two equal tiles that meet become their sum. Reach 2048 to win, then keep going if you want to see how far the board will take you.

EVERY BOARD HAS A NUMBER

Board #617 here is board #617 on any phone, tile for tile, because the number decides the board. Look one up, replay it honestly, or hand a friend the number and compare what you each did with it.

THREE SIZES

Classic is four by four, with 2048 as the goal. Small is three by three, over in a couple of minutes, where 128 is the win. Large is five by five, a long game where 16384 is the one to reach. Each size keeps its own numbered boards and its own best score.

AND FIBONACCI

A fourth board plays by Fibonacci's rule: 1 and 2 make 3, 2 and 3 make 5, 3 and 5 make 8. Four by four, its own numbered boards, and 4181 is the win.

THE TABLE TURNS WITH THE SEASONS

Spring, summer, autumn and winter each bring their own colours to the table, following the calendar. Prefer one look all year? Choose Classic.

A BOARD A DAY

One Classic board a day, the same for everyone who plays it. Play it on its day and your streak grows; a day you skip is simply skipped, with no tricks to buy it back. A calendar fills in as you go, and three small goals a day give you something to aim for.
