2048 Bars — a merge puzzle where the board is the beat

Merge rhythm tiles the way you know from number puzzles, and hear every move. The 4×4 board is a step sequencer: columns are the beats of a bar, rows are your instruments, and a playhead loops over whatever you have built.

A look inside

2048 Bars game board: rhythm tiles on a four by four grid with a playhead, a row of levels above and piano, bass, hi-hat and kick below

How it plays

Swipe

Every swipe moves all the notes on the board and writes a new bar.

Merge

Two equal notes become a denser rhythm: quarters to eighths, eighths to sixteenths, then chords, all the way up to twelve levels.

Hear it

The playhead plays your board in a loop. Land a swipe on the beat for a score multiplier.

The details

Free, with ads: an ad may appear the first time you reach a new level, and you can choose to watch a video to continue after a loss. A one-time purchase removes all ads and makes boosters unlimited. It is not a subscription.
