SCREENSHOTS — Number Connect - Link 2048
ABOUT THE GAME — Number Connect - Link 2048
Number Connect - Link 2048 is a number merging puzzle developed and published by UNIT5, a casual game studio based in Seoul, South Korea. It was released on 4 February 2025 for iOS and Android. The game is free to download, carries a 4+ content rating and is localised into 15 languages.
Number Connect - Link 2048 takes the familiar 2048 idea and changes how tiles come together. Instead of sliding the whole board, you draw a line through neighbouring tiles that carry the same number — in any of eight directions, diagonals included — and the chain merges into a higher value.
Because merges are drawn rather than swiped, the board stays under your control for longer, and the interesting decisions are about which chain to take and which tiles to leave for later. Climbing from 512 and 1024 to 2048, and then to the rarely seen 4096 tile, is the arc the whole game is built around.
The presentation of Number Connect - Link 2048 is deliberately minimal: a clean board, smooth controls and no time limit, so a session can be one chain or an hour. Progress saves automatically, global leaderboards record the best results, and the game is free to play with advertising and an optional ad-free purchase. It runs on both phones and tablets.
HOW TO PLAY — Number Connect - Link 2048
Connect matching numbers
Drag across neighbouring tiles that show the same number to link them. Connections work in all eight directions, including diagonals, so a chain can bend around the board rather than following a single row. Releasing the drag merges every tile in the chain into one higher number.
Build towards 2048 and beyond
Each merge in Number Connect - Link 2048 doubles the value, so short chains early on become the material for 512, 1024 and finally 2048. The 4096 tile sits beyond that and is the real target for experienced players. Longer chains clear more of the board at once, which is how space is kept open.
Play at your own pace
There is no timer in Number Connect - Link 2048 and no penalty for thinking. The game saves automatically, so a board can be left mid-session and picked up later on the same device. Results go to the global leaderboards for players who want to compare their best merges with others.
FEATURES — Number Connect - Link 2048
- 🔗
Connect in eight directions
Number Connect - Link 2048 merges tiles by drawing a line through matching numbers, and connections run in all eight directions including diagonals. That gives far more control than sliding a whole board and turns each move into a choice of route rather than a shove.
- 🎯
From 512 to 4096
Every chain doubles the value, so the game is a steady climb from small numbers through 512, 1024 and 2048 towards the 4096 tile. The target is always one merge away, which keeps a session moving even when the board is getting tight.
- 🧘
No timer, minimal interface
The board in Number Connect - Link 2048 is clean and uncluttered, and nothing on screen is racing you. There are no time limits or move penalties, so the game can be played in short bursts or over a long, unhurried session on a phone or tablet.
- 🏆
Auto-save and global leaderboards
Number Connect - Link 2048 saves progress automatically, so an unfinished board is still there the next time you open it. Best results are posted to global leaderboards, giving a reference point beyond your own previous high number.
