Games! match things on a grid

[sonia]

Two games I've been spending time on lately, both via umadoshi.

368 Chickens, group sets of three chickens by placing pairs of them, oddly forbids you from playing further once you win. I won in 20 attempts on the computer, with an unknown number of attempts on my phone too.

ExponenTile, described as "2048 meets match-3". Current high score 24, 408, highest tile so far 1024, and I'm kind of hoping I'll let that rest now.

The 2k tile glows. So freeking addictive.

Cool! I can see that there’s some strategy involved, but I fear the amount of time I would put into getting better at it.

Gah! It is freaking addictive.

Thank you.

It’s nice to spend time in a little world with defined rules and low stakes.

Oh you nailed that

It's so gratifying when one move at the bottom cascades the whole grid!

(128 moves later. Hmm, should I add this to my Home Screen? Perhaps not wise.)

I wondered about adding it to my home screen too. That's part of why I posted, so I could go back and find them later if I want, but not have them immediately at hand.

I like it when it cascades and there's a surprise group of 5 and suddenly there's a 128 I didn't have to work for.

Both of those games are difficult and require some thinking ahead and managing. I did manage a 2048 tile on the second game, so I can make that one less of a focused interest now.

Congrats!
