Numbers Go Up: The 2048 Roguelike

Numbers Go Up is a Roguelike Deckbuilder played on the 2048 grid. Slide, merge, score - then rebuild the rules between rounds and try to keep up with the numbers going up!

In Numbers Go Up, you have complete freedom to build around whichever system suits your playstyle. It gives you endless ways to build the perfect scoring engine, but always keeps you on your toes by dynamically tracking how you play and adapting itself to your build intelligently. 

Between gates you cash out and shop the black-market bazaar. Mods are illegal programs to run inside your terminal. They rewrite how scoring works. Enhanced tiles change how the pieces themselves behave: they charge, magnetize, go volatile, turn to gold. Hacks give you direct control over the terminal's systems.

The spawn pool is your deck, every tile rolls a 1 in <tile value> chance to spawn at each move - and you get to rig this probability in each direction. renice a value and it spawns twice as often. Stack renices a few times and it's dealt to you every single move. unlink the ones you're don't like so they spawn less and less. You want a 1024 dealt to you every move? you can do that.

Play alone or Multiplayer against a rival with dedicated matchmaking & Ranked Mode

Play the same random state seed in Multiplayer - where your knowledge of game systems, strategy & skills are tested. Same Seed means both players see the same exact spawns, mods, items in the packs and other things in the shop. All that differs is your decisions and your skills. The higher score wins. Queue casual, climb the ranked ladder, or open a private room and challenge a friend.
