Going a step further, he has posted the game’s source code online for others to developer their own version of 2048. He gives due to credit to his sources of inspiration which can be seen here. Surprisingly, Cirulli doesn’t hide his “inspiration”. We know how to deal with a clone, and likely, so do you.” But it’s the not-really-clone sort of games, the rip-offs, that have popped up that have our feelings puzzled. The blogpost also says, “We’re not shy about calling a clone a clone, and believe us, there’s no shortage of straight-up clones out there, especially on Android. Threes, the inspiration for 2048-type puzzles Although they say that they are taking all in their stride, it is obvious the creators seem to be quite irked at all the copycats. They even go on to explain how their game is still better than all the Threes-inspired games. Sirvo takes a dig at its game’s clone and labels them easy to win. Sirvo, creators of the game Threes, accused Cirulli and also makers of 1024 (Veewo studio) of copying their game in their blogpost. Phew! Read that again to understand what you read. The game which has been copied by so many other developers was itself a copy (or was it inspired?) by another game called 1024, which in turn was inspired by another game called Threes. The beauty of the game lies in its simplicity there's no flashy interface or complex controls. You can literally spend hours just swiping in any direction to see tiles combine. With each swipe a new number pops up to add to the challenge and you have to keep clearing the board as the numbers keep growing. To play the game, all that a user had to do was to swipe number tiles to sum up two 2s or 4s or 8s and so on, till they get to the number 2048. Created by an Italian programmer Gabriele Cirulli, the game was released on March 9 to the Google Play Store and quickly climbed the popularity charts. Even though Flappy Bird is set to return to our devices soon, this time it will have a newer, and just as addictive, game called 2048.Ĭalling it just one game is wrong and misleading, since 2048 has spawned hundreds of different variants on Android and on the Web. After the world had gotten over Flappy Bird, the game that literally drove people to make murder threats against the developer, everyone was waiting for the next great mobile gaming sensation.
