GBox Doubling

GBox Doubling is a compact take on the sliding-tile doubling game. Every move pushes all the tiles on the board in one direction at once. When two tiles with the same number touch, they merge into a single tile, and that new tile doubles in value. Each doubling scores points equal to the number on the tile it produces, so bigger merges are worth far more.

The developer keeps the description short: simple rules, move the tiles, merge the same ones, and hold on for as long as you can in pursuit of a record. There are no levels or modes mentioned. What is unusual is the mouse control. Instead of clicking arrows, you hold the left button and drag across the playing field in the direction you want the tiles to go. The arrow keys do the same job, and it all fits in a landscape frame.

Hold down the left mouse button and drag across the playing field in the direction you want every tile to move, or press an arrow key. Tiles carrying the same number that touch each other merge into one tile of double the value. Each merge adds that new value to your score. Keep going for as long as moves remain.

Scoring is the face value of each new tile, so one merge into a high number beats several small ones. Hold your largest tiles against one edge and choose directions that keep them there. If dragging feels imprecise, the arrow keys give exactly the same four moves.
