Classic Sliding Numbers

Introduction

Classic Sliding Numbers is a puzzle game that challenges you to arrange numbers in order. Your goal is to slide tiles on a grid, merging identical numbers to achieve the highest score. With a 2048-like twist, this game offers a unique experience that tests both your strategic thinking and quick reflexes.

Gameplay

1. Start the game and observe the grid filled with numbered tiles.
2. Use the arrow keys (or WASD) to slide the tiles on the grid.
3. When two tiles with the same number touch, they merge into one tile with the sum of their values.
4. The objective is to strategically move tiles to create higher numbers, aiming for the 2048 tile or beyond.
5. The game ends when no more moves are possible or the tile with the highest value is reached.

Controls

• Arrows/WASD: Slide the tiles on the grid.
• Spacebar: Shake the board randomly to shuffle tiles for a new strategy.
• Esc: Pause the game or exit the current level.

Tips

• Plan ahead by visualizing your moves to maximize the size of the numbers you can create.
• Keep an eye on the corners; they can sometimes be crucial for strategic moves.
• Use the spacebar sparingly to shuffle tiles when you're stuck.
• Try to keep a balance of different numbers on the board to have more merge opportunities.
