The puzzle principle, cleanly done

The rules take seconds to explain: swipe across the 4×4 board, and the moment two tiles with the same number meet, they merge into one twice as large. The goal? The coveted 4096 tile – and after that, every extra point you can squeeze out.

Easy to pick up

Every move is just a swipe. There's nothing to learn and no tutorials to click through – you simply start, and you understand the game from your very first move.

A demanding goal

Where the classic principle stops at 2048, 4096 pushes the goal a step further. And once you reach the 4096 tile, you can keep playing and drive your personal high score ever higher.

Easy to learn, hard to master – that exact mix is what makes it so compelling, turning "just one round" into a whole gaming session.

Thoughtful down to the detail

4096 is deliberately minimal, but carefully made. Rather than overloading it with features, it focuses on a clean, pleasant feel.

Three coherent themes

Choose between Daylight (light, default), Blossom (light), and Midnight (dark). The theme you pick is remembered and even tints the system status bar to match.

Sound with no files

Every sound is generated right on the device – the app ships no audio files. A soft tone on every move, a merge tone, and a short win flourish, plus an optional, gentle ambient pad. Sound, ambient sound, vibration, and the score popups can each be toggled on or off.

Fully offline and private

4096 works completely offline, and everything stays local on your device. No ads, no in-app purchases, no data collection.

That keeps the focus where it belongs: on your next clever move.

Is 4096 really free?

Yes. 4096 is completely free, shows no ads, and contains no in-app purchases – there are no hidden costs.

Do I need an internet connection to play?

No. 4096 works fully offline. All of your progress – high scores, best tile, and settings – is stored locally on your device.

How does 4096 differ from 2048?

The core principle is the same, but 4096 raises the goal a step higher and lets you keep playing after reaching the 4096 tile to push your high score. On top of that come three themes, English and German, an undo budget, and sound generated entirely on the device – all offline.

What happens when I reach the 4096 tile?

You've won the game – but it isn't over: you can keep playing and push your score as high as possible, until no moves are left.

Emberwell – A One-Finger Ink Arcade, Beautifully Spare and Hard to Put Down

There's a particular calm in laying down a single ink stroke and watching it cut a threat clean out of the air – right up until the next storm rolls in. Emberwell distils the arcade game down to one finger and one brush: cut the red, feed the core, and keep it alive as the ink keeps falling. It's as meditative or as white-knuckle as the moment demands.

Orbital – the one-thumb reflex game built around a single, clear idea

Add real-time generative sound, unlockable looks, and no ads at all. Pure reaction, stripped down to the essentials.
