The Power of Two by Hequan Li

 

The Power of Two by Hequan Li is yet another very strong point scoring puzzle app game.

 

The first four images depict the rules. No need for me to repeat them. Except to add: if there is another tile that is in the way, then the merging won't take place.

I've only played this game 3 times. Numerous times, I hit the wrong square. But that's okay because a key point in strategy is to free up space (see images 3 & 4).


I can't play this game again, because it simply takes hours just to play 1 game. My third, and final game, my score was about 70,000 and this took several hours spaced out over a few days.


The graphics are great.
The concept is fun.
As I said, it takes too long to play a single game. But it is a gem.
Where it could be improved: the only new tiles are 1's & 2's.  Having higher random tiles emerge would make the game a bit more exciting.
