:/ The flappy number is bigger than the block/hole it's trying to merge with. This annoys me more than it should.

Hey, I made one of these too!

Flappy Doge 2048 (Nyan Cat edition): http://rawgit.com/boppreh/flappy_doge_2048/master/flappy_dog...

Github: https://github.com/boppreh/flappy_doge_2048

Arrow keys control the 2048 blocks and W+S control the Doge. It's not as polished, but I had a fun time coding it.

I really liked the moving columns, they added another layer of unexpected difficulty. I lost at 23 (8388608). The fact that the moving column would bring the flappy tile beyond the bounds of the playfield was a little disconcerting.

One thing I've been wondering is whether all these 2048 clones are subconsciously causing people to take notice of powers of 2 far more than they would otherwise...

Haha, I have a super-wide monitor in a vertical configuration, which makes this game literally impossible unless I shrink the vertical dimension of my browser window.

No wonder I was finding this so hard!

Love it! Beats Flappy48 by not requiring a plugin and by being named with a proper power of 2 as all good games in the genre should. Nice work.

Edit: Sure, Threes may have launched the craze, but it too would have been better based on pure doubling.

Threes created the genre and does not use powers of 2 :)

I was expecting flappy48 (http://broxxar.itch.io/flappy48) but I'm glad to see someone's combined the two games in another unique way.

It's also HTML5 instead of Unity which is great.

I also feel like the physics are bit more forgiving.

In flappy48, are there some cases where it's impossible? Because the pipes are randomized (unlike the original Flappy Bird, I think? Never played it, but my understanding was it was always the same sequence) - by the time the first pipe appears, you might have already flapped to a position you can't recover from.

Or maybe I'm just really bad at this game. :-)

A little note on how to play would be nice. It took me a while to figure out it's the spacebar you need.

Or just clicks.

...oh, well ha, I guess that seems obvious to try in retrospect. :)

I literally though I was going dizzy when the columns started moving.

I could see a "number munchers" style one for kids. "16/8" and you have to go to 2. But flappy and 2048 are both getting pretty old.

You have to applaud this app. The title alone has value.

Except it was obvious, and there was at least another one of these that came out weeks ago.

Easiest version of any of these games I've played so far (524288 on my second go). Quite compelling, though.

Press ctrl and - to increase difficulty.

Neat. Would be nice if you could start playing after a failure by any clicking/pressing space again.

262144 and I missed ... and I'm not going to try and beat that. Nifty.

If you turn this into an iOS app, I'll gladly give you my $0.99

It had to be done....

This is pretty cool. But seriously, this is way too hard

Pure masterpiece, our grandchildren will play this :))

most impressed at getting domain name first

Pro tip: make your browser extra short.

Made it to short! Didn't even get past the first column.

21 high score. this is silly

Of course this had to be done rolls eyes

You just won the Internet.
