Twitch! 2048 Number Game

"Twitch! 2048 Number Game" is a game to add two same numbers to create a new number.

The goal is to simply add enough numbers to reach 2048.

This game uses the game mechanics from "http://gabrielecirulli.github.io/2048/".

Press"<" or ">" to move the numbers to the left and to the right respectively, and same numbers are added if they are "side by side" from each other.

Press "^" or "v" to move the numbers up and down respectively, and same numbers are added if they are "up and down" from each other.

(swiping on the screen in the direction of interest works too).

After every move, a new number is generated randomly on an unoccupied cell.

This game is a casual time-filler if you ever need to pass time. While waiting for your friends (twitch!); or maybe you just missed your bus (twitch!). It's a non-frustrating (looking at you Flappy bird!!) little game to while away the minutes and let time catch up with you again.

The end result is this therapeutic little game where you simply move and combine some numbers to win the game.
