Numova: 2048 Merge Puzzle

Slide, merge, and think ahead. Numova is a clean take on the number-merging puzzle: combine matching tiles, chain your merges, and push for the 2048 tile — then keep going.

FOUR WAYS TO PLAY

• Classic
No timer, no limits. Play until the board fills up.

• Time Attack
Three minutes on the clock. Score as much as you can before it runs out.

• Blockers
Immovable tiles sit on the board and get in your way. Plan around them.

• Daily Challenge
Everyone gets the same board each day. Come back to build a streak, and track your longest streak and best daily score.

MAKE IT YOURS

• Three board sizes
Play the classic 4x4, or open things up with 5x5 and 6x6. Bigger boards mean more room to plan and longer runs.

• Three themes
Switch between Classic, Dark and Ocean. Dark is easy on the eyes at night.

• Sound and vibration
Both optional, both off with a single tap.

KEEP YOUR RUNS GOING

• Take back a move
Made a mistake? Step back through your recent moves instead of restarting a good run.

• Your stats
Games played, daily streaks, and a separate best score for every board size — so a 6x6 run is measured against other 6x6 runs.

• Optional leaderboard
Turn on posting to compare your best scores with other players. Your name is picked for you — there is nothing to type — and you can remove your scores whenever you like. Posting is off unless you turn it on.

HOW TO PLAY
Swipe in any direction to slide every tile. When two tiles with the same number touch, they merge into one worth double. Reach 2048 to win — then carry on for a higher score.

Numova plays offline, with no account and no sign-in. The leaderboard is the only part that needs a connection, and it is off by default.

Simple to pick up, and the kind of puzzle you keep coming back to.
