AI Analysis

●MidCrowd Pleaser

Fun 2048 variant with blitz timer, but it's still just 2048.

Strengths

•Blitz mode with 2/3/5 second timers adds genuine time-pressure tension
•Board scaling to 12x12 creates longer games with more strategic room

Weaknesses

•Author admits it's nothing complicated — built quickly with Claude's help
•2048 clones are everywhere; time attack mode isn't a strong differentiator

Post Description

I got bored of normal 2048 so I made this. It allows you to enter "blitz mode" with a set time per move and an ability to scale the board up if you want to play longer games.

It allows 2 3 or 5 second turns, and can play up to 8, 10, or 12 size boards.

It is nothing too complicated or complex but the code is here if you want to see. I made this while on vacation for a friend today with Claude's help to work fast and get the styles right.
