2048 for muOS

Applications Release

Hey everyone! Today I’m presenting my new app: a faithful standalone port of the classic puzzle game 2048 optimized specifically for muOS.

I wanted a polished, authentic experience on handhelds, so this port is built using the LÖVE framework and takes direct design inspiration from the popular open-source Android version by tpcstld.

Features

  • Classic & Plus Modes: Enjoy the original 2048 puzzle experience, or switch to the new Plus Mode which introduces strategic powerups!

  • Plus Mode Powerups: In Plus Mode, earn Bomb, Swap, and Undo powerups by reaching new tile milestones (128, 256, 512, etc.). Use them to destroy unwanted tiles, swap adjacent tiles, or revert mistakes.

  • Achievements & Unlockable Themes: Track your progress by unlocking 18 unique achievements, ranging from reaching high tiles to mastering Plus mode. Completing achievements rewards you with beautifully crafted custom themes!

  • Themes: Instantly toggle between unlocked themes and the classic Light/Dark modes with a beautifully animated reveal. Your theme preference is saved automatically!

  • Auto-Save & Resume: Your progress, board state, and score are saved automatically after every move. Close the game anytime and pick up right where you left off.

  • Interactive Pause Menu: A built-in pause overlay makes it easy to safely quit the app or restart a new game cleanly.

  • Undo System: Made a mistake? Press B to undo your previous move (unlimited in Classic Mode, consumes a powerup in Plus Mode).

  • High Scores: Automatically tracks and preserves your best score.

  • Accurate Aesthetics: Uses the exact color palette, typography, and smooth slide/merge animations from the beloved Android version, complete with an elegant glowing win animation.

  • Standalone Package: Bundled as a standard .muxapp package for effortless installation on muOS with dynamic UI scaling for different resolutions.

Note: Perhaps a well-known secret sequence of buttons might reveal something special…?

If I use dpad to move but no tile has move (due to that direction can not move/combine any tile), the undo won’t work as expected.
Also I found a loop hole. If I use undo, and redo the step, the new number will randomly appear, so if I’m stuck, I can use this to get to a new situation (Don’t fix this please, I need it :joy:)

haha, I kinda knew about second bug because it existed in android version too… I left it there because it made game easy & more fun. On discord someone reported this same too…
But i guess i will have to remove it in favour of making a good port. Thanks for reporting :slight_smile:
