Master the most delicious puzzle game with our complete guide

🎯Game Objective

The goal of 2048 Cupcakes is simple: merge identical cupcakes to create larger ones until you reach the golden cupcake (2048)!

🏆 Winning Condition

Create a cupcake with the value of 2048 to win the game. But don't stop there - you can continue playing to achieve even higher scores!

📋Basic Rules

1. Starting the Game

The game starts with two cupcakes on a 4x4 grid. Each cupcake has a value (usually 2 or 4).

2. Moving Cupcakes

Use arrow keys (or swipe on mobile) to move all cupcakes in that direction. All cupcakes move together in the same direction.

3. Merging Cupcakes

When two cupcakes with the same value collide, they merge into one cupcake with double the value.

4. New Cupcakes

After each move, a new cupcake (value 2 or 4) appears in a random empty cell.
