SHOT2048 4+

Idk why he is uncredited, but this game was made by Yuji Naka, the creator of Sonic the Hedgehog.

If an ad plays while a dice is on the bottom half of the board, the game counts it as though it had been stopped and you lose. So funny I aint even mad.

Much better game than Balan Wonderworld.

Let’s get this out of the way first, the ads are far too intrusive and really disrupt the flow of the game, especially once you get better at it and they appear constantly. The better you play, the more ads you get… I gladly paid the 5.99 though because I couldn’t stop playing and I’m glad I did because it becomes so much smoother to play after that.

It may appear to be mostly luck based due to the physics of the dice, but eventually you will learn the intricacies of the physics to try and manupulate it to your benefit. The way dice roll, bounce and fly might seem random but are very much controllable, mostly. I’ve managed to crack the top 20 for the “no retries” board, but I must question the inclusion of the “retries” board. The game sells 5 retries for $1, so you can pay money to climb higher on that leaderboard, no thanks. Stick to the “no retry” leaderboard to know the true competition.

Also, I would love to see more music added, as I really like the zen-like one currently in the game and would love more. Sound effects are basic but not annoying. I would also like it if the game stopped pausing for every combo above 2048, especially paid 5.99, it nearly gets me a game over since I need to try and get it to detect my finger again every time.

I can’t wait for more solo-developed games of Yuji Naka. Glad he didn’t retire after Balan Wonderworld (which I also happen to love).

If you live pervasive ads, this is the game for you! I know that devs need to make money and they do that via ads. Sure. But OMG the amount of ads. You scored? Ad. You lost? Ad. It's been 10 seconds? Ad. This game would be very fun to play if it wasn't for the constant barrage of 30 seconds ads. If it wasn't almost forcing you to buy it to have some enjoyment of probably buy it even. But as it is. Nope. No way I give them money for this. I sincerely hope they reduce the amount of ads you see a little bit in the future.
