2048 vs Rise Up
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.
Rise Up
Rise Up is almost as frustratingly fun as the infamous Flappy Bird game, despite having a lot simpler controls. In this game, you need to protect the ascension of a probably helium-filled balloon by moving the circular shield in front of it with your finger. Push obstacles out of the way or tunnel through them, as you help clear the path for the ballon to keep rising. This game is endless though, so if you're good, you can rack up some pretty insane high scores, giving you the score advantage when it comes to dominating the leaderboard.Available on Android and iOS, Rise Up is a simple endless flying game that shot to fame due to its incredibly easy, and yet frustrating (if you're aiming for a respectable high score), gameplay. It's the perfect game to play if you enjoy a good challenge.
