Cubes 2048
Game info
The multiplayer game, Cubes 2048, combines two games - 2048 and Snake. The basic gameplay resembles the well-known arcade game about a snake eating cubes and growing. However, the cubes here are numbered, and their sum makes the snake bigger. As the snake grows bigger, it gains the ability to devour smaller players.
Game Rules
The game character grows by adding the sums of the cubes being devoured. The number of the starting die is two, and the same number is used to number the "food" around it. By gradually inflating the numbers, the snake increases the size of the front cubes, becoming more powerful and able to eat other players.
Only a cube with a smaller or equal number can be eaten. If the cube is larger, it will simply be discarded. When it comes to the cubes that make up the bodies of other players, the same rules apply: a smaller cube is absorbed by a larger one. Thus, if a player encounters a more advanced snake, he dies, loses progress, and starts over.
Gameplay
The main task of the player is to devour individual cubes and smaller snakes of other players. The action takes place on a single field, which is very spacious but still limited in size.
Control is carried out by mouse cursor or by touching the screen (if the game is played on a mobile device). In addition to the usual speed, the snake is able to move with acceleration, for which you need to press the left mouse button or double tap. Acceleration is temporary, and to reactivate, it needs to recover.
Using acceleration is appropriate in order to catch up with smaller snakes or to get away from larger opponents.
Useful tips for players
The most important strategy of the game is to eat cubes quickly to ensure the snake grows. This allows the player to move up the food chain by eating not only free cubes but also by hunting other players. However, it is not necessary to become a pure hunter, as there is still plenty of free food around that should not be missed.
An important success factor is the ability to choose the right direction of movement and accelerate in time. This applies to both hunting and escaping from larger players. The latter must be watched carefully so as not to miss the moment when you are noticed.
Refrain from speeding up unnecessarily, as time is very limited. Thoughtlessly spending "afterburner" can leave you without this valuable skill when it is really needed. And since the situation in the game changes instantly, it is better to save the sprint mode.
Also, watch the map closely so as not to miss the various prize cubes that give the same acceleration or x2 to the set of points. But you should not rush mindlessly to such cubes, as they are often inhabited by other players, using them as bait.
