How to play

1

Your goal is to grow the 128 wombat. From the fourth stage, grow the 256 koala.

2

Swipe up, down, left or right (or use the arrow keys, or tap a side of the board). Every animal slides as far as it can.

3

When two of the same animal bump together, they squish into one bigger animal and you score points.

4

A new egg appears after every move. Keep the board from filling up!

5

Grow the wombat to clear the stage, win a new board and travel to a new place.

TipKeep your biggest animal in one corner and build toward it. Try to slide mostly in two or three directions; save the last one for when you are stuck. Keep a row along one edge full, so the big animals don't get pushed out of their corner. Look for pairs before you swipe: sometimes one swipe makes two or three merges at once. Every stage you clear wins a new board for your animals (Meadow, Ocean, Candy, Snow and Starry night); pick one with the Boards button.

2048 is the classic sliding number puzzle, remade for kids with a ladder of cute Australian animals. Every tile is an animal with its number written big underneath: 2 is an egg, 4 a chick, 8 a frog, 16 a lizard, 32 an echidna, 64 a platypus, 128 a wombat, 256 a koala, 512 a kangaroo, 1024 an emu and 2048 a friendly whale, with a golden crowned koala beyond that. Slide the whole board, and two animals that are the same squish together into the next one up. Each new animal hatches with a little celebration, and the ones you have met are kept in your Animal friends collection. Grow the 128 wombat to clear the stage (from the fourth stage, the 256 koala): stars, confetti and a new board to play on, then a fresh board starts straight away in a new place: the beach, a snowy forest, candy land and even the Moon.
