#About

What if your grandmother secretly handed you candies from her handbag? That warm, nostalgic premise inspired this delightful reimagining of the 2048 puzzle formula. Instead of cold numbers, you're working with a progression of increasingly sweet treats — merge two of the same candy and they evolve into something even better.

This PICO-8 original features hand-crafted pixel art for each candy tier, a chilled original soundtrack, and quality-of-life touches like an undo button that lets you recover from misclicks. The game tracks high scores so you can chase your best run, and a clear game over screen keeps you informed when the board fills up.

#Gameplay

#Mechanics

• Tile Sliding: Swipe in any direction to shift all candies — they snap to the edge and merge with matching neighbors
• Merge Chain: Two identical candies touching combine into the next tier in the sweetness progression
• Undo System: Reverse your last move to recover from mistakes or reposition strategically
• Score Tracking: Accumulate points through merges and compete against your high score
• Game Over Detection: When the board fills with no valid merges remaining, your run ends

#Strategy

• Plan your slides to keep lower-tier candies accessible for future merges
• Use the undo button wisely — it's a safety net, not a crutch
• Focus on building one corner to maintain control of the board layout
• Watch for spawn patterns and position merges to maximize board space
