Our take on 1248
The focused number-sliding loop leaves little room for variety in the kinds of play it offers. Its gem refresh adds a choice within that loop, but the core activity remains matching and removing numbers while chasing a higher score.
What is 1248?
1248 is a number-elimination game that combines sliding tiles with matching values.
Players move numbers sideways, generate a number by sliding downward, or spend 1 gem to refresh the current number by sliding upward. Matching values in the required positions are removed automatically. Reaching 1024 earns 1 gem. The game uses a minimalist art style and centers on trying to achieve high scores. Its rules are simple to use, while getting a high score is not easy.
