About

2048 is a popular, free, and open-source sliding puzzle game created in 2014 by 19-year-old Italian designer Gabriele Chirulli. This 'threes-clone' was based on 1024, which in turn was inspired by Threes!, establishing its market position among similar puzzle games. Available across Online, Android, iPhone, and PortableApps.com platforms, it offers a single-player experience with features allowing users to suggest and vote on new additions. While specific revenue figures and employee counts are not provided, its widespread adoption and 'addicting' gameplay, as highlighted in user reviews, underscore its success. The game's open-source nature is reflected in its GitHub presence, and its creator, Gabriele Chirulli, also maintains a Twitter presence.
