Recently, the internet has been overflowing with 2048, and everybody seems dependent. Even Jon Skeet (for those who are familiar with him) is addicted to it. It's amazing to see that the game has grown extremely well-known in such a short time, despite its simplicity and ease to use. What's more remarkable is the fact that people are now addicted to it.
I've looked a little deeper into the game (at at least the version I'm playing with) to figure out the reason for its popularity and addictive nature and have come up with the following:
Trivial, but challenging
It's easy to acquire 2048 and so let's show everyone the way to play." When you lose, you get unhappy and don't want admit that you've lost in such an (as you initially though) simple game. Especially if you were confronted by a friend to win. You'll feel more confident as you play!
It's not difficult to grow
Every game you play will give you an idea of how you can take on the next match. In the end, you'll be able to play the next game to test and enhance your knowledge.
Simple To Boost
It's simple to restart after losing. You've probably played this game several times and are aware that you can reach an 256-block by using fast and random moves. The fun starts. In contrast to other games where starting over takes time, this one makes it much more enjoyable to keep playing.
Incremental Winning
While playing the game, you'll feel more proud and fueled whenever you conquer an arduous situation or win an impressive block, like 1024, this continuously keeps you motivated and happy for throughout the duration of playing. You feel like you're able to eventually reach 2048.
Popularity is Itself!
Since the game has become increasingly popular, sharing and recognizing your achievements is now easy since everyone can understand and connect with your tales. In addition, with the easy and appealing tweet button that asks you to share your achievements You'll be sharing your score! If you notice everyone who is around you discussing it, you'll be tempted to join in the conversation and be part of the trend that is truly lovely.
It's simple to start
You can refer someone to it and they will be in a position to download the game without having to explain any aspect of the game. There's no sign-up and no captcha to enter, there is the game doesn't require any setup or download (although it is possible to download offline) The game will be able to explain itself.
Simple, elegant and stunning
The various implementations I have seen all share the same stunning and simple look and feel.
These are the factors I've been able to work out that are responsible for the popularity and addictive nature of the game. Do you have other reasons? Do you have any other reasons? Please let us know by leaving a your comments!
