2048 Cupcakes

2048 Cupcakes is a modified version of the 2048 Game, which was a viral hit in early 2014. The 2048 Game (created by Gabriele Cirulli) uses numbers as the grid values. On the other hand, 2048 Cupcakes uses cute images of cupcakes.

The game is highly addicting and known as a perfect time killer. Though some may find the game a bit confusing at first, it is actually quite easy to play.

How to play the game?

If you’ve played the original version of the 2048 Game before, it will be easier for you to master. Don’t worry, even if you haven’t played the original one. There are tons of tutorials online to help you learn how to play the game.

The game has a 4x4 grid in which there are 16 positions to place different cupcakes. You can move the cupcakes by pressing the arrow keys on your keyboard. If you are playing on a touchscreen device, swipe left, right, up, or down.

As you move the cupcakes, identical cupcakes in their path will merge into a new cupcake. When two identical cupcakes merge, the score updates with the sum of the calories of the resulting cupcake.

Scoring Methodology

The cupcakes available in this game have a fixed number of calories. For example, a Vanilla Birthday and a Bubblegum Pink cupcake have 200 Kcal and 250 Kcal of energy respectively.

You will get 400 Kcal of energy in your score if you combine two Vanilla Birthday cupcakes to produce a Bubblegum Pink cupcake. Similarly, if you manage to merge two Bubblegum Pink cupcakes, you'll get 500 Kcal of energy.

This process will continue until the Rainbow Cupcake (5000 Kcal) appears. If you can make it to the Rainbow Cupcake, you win the game.
