Swipes

Swipes is a single-player, sliding block puzzle type of game, that’s played on an almost Sudoku-like grid. Like Sudoku, it also involves some maths. The object of the game is to combine the numbers displayed on the tiles until you reach the largest possible number.

Basically, Swipes presents with with a 4×4 grid. When you start the game, there will be two “tiles” on the grid, each displaying the number 2 or 4. You hit the arrow keys on your keyboard to move the tiles around — and also to generate new tiles, which will also be valued at 2 or 4. When two equal tiles collide, they combine to give you one greater tile that displays their sum. The more you do this, obviously, the higher the tiles get and the more crowded the board becomes. Your objective is to reach highest possible number before the board fills up.
