While "2048" itself is a successful clone, it has given birth to several other games, which include "Everybody Loves Monster," "Monster Munch" and "ImVIKING."
Developed by Simpleton Games in Indonesia, "Everybody Loves Monster" is "2048" with monsters that evolve. It is available for Windows phones and Android.
In "Monster Munch," which is available on Google Play, players create a snack, lunch or dinner for their hungry monster customer at the top of the screen by combining food blocks or sometimes other monster blocks.
Developed by South Korean indie developer TouchTouch and published by the American publisher established by SK Group, Skyzone Entertainment, "Monster Munch" is a "2048" remake with different rules governing each board and a variety of board sizes.
"ImVIKING" was from a South Korean developer Boxmansoft. It combines the gameplay of "Threes" with the complexity of a roleplaying game.
In 2014, the "2048" game also optimized in order to give access to those who are using mobile devices, except for Windows Phone. This restriction was then removed by the 2048 for Windows Phone app.
By adding some exclusive features of Windows Phone, the "2048" game for Windows Phone app is optimized and designed specifically for Windows Phone, allowing players to style their own design accent color, according to WMPowerUser.
Created by a 19-year-old freelance UI designer and web developer named Gabriele Cirulli from Italy, "2048" was quickly visited by millions of people and played more than 33 million times with over 50,000 gamers playing simultaneously shortly after it was launched, according to City AM.
