2048 is a single-player online and mobile game created in March 2014 by 19-year-old Italian web developer Gabriele Cirulli, in which the objective is to slide tiles on a grid to combine them and create a tile with the number 2048. Cirulli created the game in a single weekend as a test to see if he could program a game from scratch, describing it as a clone of Veewo Studios' app 1024 and getting the idea from Sami "Saming" Romdhana's clone 2048, and was surprised when the game received over 4 million visitors in less than a week, especially since it was just a weekend project. The game is free to play, Cirulli having said that he was unwilling to make money from "something that he didn’t invent".

Best score is 75080 with a 4096, 2048, and 1024 tile
