2048 vs Jenga
2048
2048 is a pretty unique puzzle game that has literally gone viral last year mainly because of its easy-to-pick-up gameplay and yet it is incredibly difficult - i.e. requires a lot of strategic thinking - in order to be really good at. Unlike other 2048 games out there, you can decide how big your playing grid is in this one. There's even a scoring system which is what most people will share proudly on their social media pages whenever they reached a new high score.Due to its meteoric rise to popularity, the game has inspired a lot of clones on the mobile platform with some games that drastically made the game concept something uniquely their own with plenty of additional fun features and game rules.
It's just incredible to see how such a simple game can take the world by storm, by 2048 somehow managed to do so. If you're into puzzle games, this is one game that you can easily try on your browser without much hustle. But be warned! You'd better set aside some free time for this game because it will pull you in like a black hole and like a black hole, you'll feel as though time must be wrong and that hours have not just passed you by when you finally emerged from its addictive grasp.
Jenga
Jenga is the only Jenga-type game on the mobile market and it's not surprising to see why. From creating racing games with realistic motion physics to creating Jenga with accurate, close-to-life gravitational physics and stability, NaturalMotion is possibly the only mobile-specific company that is able to create a realistic digital version of the timeless crowd-favorite game, complete with beautifully rendered environment.The game also has a multiplayer mode that'll see you competing with friends to see who'll topple the tower of blocks first. Scores you earn from playing are also listed on the leaderboard - that is if the scores are high enough - giving you some amount of bragging rights if you happen to rank near or at the top. Not to mention, you can even compare the heights of your Jenga blocks with your friends' while you're still playing a game!
There are, however, some issues with the game, but overall, Jenga is still the only mobile version of the favorite pastime of many and if you suddenly had a craving for such a game, you'll have nohere to turn except to this one... unless you own a physical version of the game, then by all means, invite some friends over and have some fun!
