Hello All, We are a small indie dev team based in Seoul, Korea. We want to share a dev log our new upcoming game 'Dead 2048'. The team is a huge fan of the 2048 puzzle and we wanted to take just one more step to innovate that awesome fun factor. So we decided to combine 2048 mechanism with Tower Defense. We think we are the first to do it. So Please let us know what you think. STORY & CONCEPT The year is 2048. The world has been taken over by Zombies and it's up to the player to survive the invasion of Zombie Waves. Just when you thought that zombies were the enemy, look again. It's actually people from another town driving a van to move zombies to invade my town. Using the 2048 rule, make a Laboratory to save mankind.

Oh wow! I love 2048, but even more I love games that build on that. City 2048 was cool with the 3D city building approach. I've played countless variations of the basic 2048 and finally something new! Excited for this one, I can see it not leaving my phone for a long time. Congrats and good luck on the release. Also, if you need any testing / bug hunting let me know, I have TestFlight. Great job!
Testflight!! Thanks in advance! Great idea, please us your testflight account email to [email protected] Thanks for the great feedback as well. It was very tough to balance it. Please feel free to send us your thoughts on it as well! =)

Hello all, I've invited everyone who emailed ups. Please tell us what you think about the game using this thread. =) Hope you like the game.
@APPSER Yes, we have just translated to Russian. =) Hope the translations are good enough. Can't be sure...
Finally got to put some time into this - Really fun, love the fresh take on 2048. The graphics are nice, and I like the corrupted tile mechanic. I do feel that the overall range of the towers is wayyyy too small. The only way to really get further in 2048 games is to stack higher tiered tiles on one side and continue to upgrade. Otherwise the board gets cluttered fast and you lose. In this game, that means all the towers are on one side and with the range soooooo small, it provides a weak defense. I also feel that more tiles should have attack capabilities. Like the early houses can have someone standing outside shooting, etc. Having just higher tiered tiles with attack capabilities contributes to the problem I mentioned above. The tower attack range needs to be expanded greatly, at all levels.
@APPSER Have you tried the game? Hope the translations are good. =) @KeKhan Thank you so much for the detailed feedback. It really helps a bunch. I agree. We tried that but it gets so much more difficult to balance the game. Allow us to try this again. We are improvising the range of the towers behind. It seems like the current effect don't really show that the towers reach further from behind.
Hello all, I just wanted to thank all the testers here. Your feedback was really valuable. We just released DEAD 2048 on App Store last night. So please try it. Search for 'Dead 2048' or use the link below. https://itunes.apple.com/app/dead-2048/id1286950887?l=en&ls=1&mt=8
Hi, I like the game, very addictive. However I just paid to remove ads but I still get to see video ads both after resetting games to keep my highest level tower, and when taping the airplane. What did I pay for??
@Wemac Hi! The remove ads removes two types of ads. (I think we'd have to elaborate this more in the game, thanks for the feedback) It removes the banner on the bottom, and it also removes the ads that popup while you pause the game(When you go out to use another app and if you return back to the game it automatically shows an ad as it awakens from sleep mode). The Free Tower ads are Reward ads. It's an ad that you don't need to watch if you don't want to. But if you want to start ahead with the highest tower you've made before you watch one video ads and start with an advantage!
Stuck Been playing this game, and its good fun. Using the same strategy when i played the original 2048. However, I find that around the time I get to the level 13 or 14 tower, no matter how well I have myself deployed, I just cant kill the hammer-carrying zombies. Also, small bug, on my 12.9 iPad Pro, the top of the display is cut off, so I cant actually see what wave I am on.
Thanks for a swift reply. Yeah you might want something that tells you that remove ads dont really remove ads Btw. What does the slow and splash button really do? They keep blinking but are totally unresponsive when tapping. Both on my 7+ and my wifes X. Thanks
