Gridlix:2048
A 4×4 merge puzzle for Android. The Daily is seeded from the date, so every player worldwide gets the same board, graded out of three stars; a streak with shields survives a missed evening, and a finished month is worth a medal. Five boosters, three uses of each per game, five colour themes, tuned haptics, and an optional Premium that removes the ads.
How it plays
One gesture, all the way down
There is nothing to learn beyond the swipe. Everything after that is arithmetic and nerve.
-
Swipe
One direction moves every tile on the board at once. There is no partial move.
-
Merge
Two equal tiles that touch become one, worth double. A tile merges once per move.
-
Reach the target
In Endless the goal is your own record. In the Daily it is a stated tile inside a stated number of moves.
The Daily
The same puzzle as everyone else
A dated seed builds the opening position and the whole spawn stream, so the board you are staring at is the board everyone else is staring at.
One seed, one board
The opening is played out in advance by a scripted bot, and its move count sets the par you are measured against. Several attempts a day; the best one counts.
-
Reach the target tile inside the move cap.
-
Do it inside par — the bot's own move count.
-
Inside par with no booster touched all game.
The month
A streak you can actually keep
One missed evening should not erase four months. Shields absorb a miss, and the calendar keeps the whole month in view.
Shields
A shield is spent automatically on the day you miss, and you earn them back by playing. The streak survives an ordinary bad week.
Monthly medals
Finish a month and it is graded once, kept forever, and shown in the trophy case next to your best streak.
- Bronze
- Silver
- Gold
Boosters
Five, three uses each
The cap is per game, not per day, so a booster is a decision inside a run rather than a resource to hoard.
-
Undo
Takes back the last move, spawn included.
-
Delete
Removes one tile you point at.
-
Swap
Trades the places of two tiles.
-
Cleanup
Sweeps every tile of one value off the board.
-
Shuffle
Rearranges what is already there, without adding anything.
For a free player each use is paid with a rewarded video you choose to watch; Premium skips both the video and the counter. Using none is the third Daily star.
Palettes
Five palettes, one board
The palette changes the tiles, the accent and the glow — never a rule. These are the real colours, straight out of the app.
- Default Free
- Ocean Premium
- Sunset Premium
- Forest Premium
- Rose Premium
