I love 2048, so this definitely caught my eye and did not disappoint! You took a famous base, made it fit the theme in a purposeful way, added a modern twist with the powerups, and then put it under a very satisfying layer of polish with the visuals and sound. Absolutely perfect submission for this jam!
You could probably look at making this a more complete game if you built out synergies and weren't afraid to get "wacky" with them, a la Balatro. I got a combo where I was generating double tiles and earning more points the more full it was; I could only imagine if I had something like "merging 3 creates explosions" with that and just clearing up.
Also, just kind of appreciate how it made my brain rewire to know that "big number bad" when I'm organizing. Again, that's the spirit of the theme done well!
