Game over

How to play
- Use the arrow keys on a keyboard, or swipe on a phone or tablet.
- Every move slides all tiles as far as they can go in that direction.
- Two tiles with the same number merge into one tile worth their total.
- After each move a new 2 or 4 appears in an empty square.
- The game ends when no move can change the board.
Tips to score higher
- Keep your biggest tile in one corner and build towards it.
- Favour two directions (for example left and down) and only use the others when you have to.
- Avoid filling the row next to your corner tile with small numbers.
