2048: Merge Blocks Up! is a merge puzzle game. The player's main goal is to merge pairs of identical numbered blocks in six columns to create a 2048 block. They also attempt to earn gold coins, the highest possible score and special gift boxes. After they create a 2048 block, they then attempt to beat their previous efforts and create ever-higher numbered blocks.
The player can allow a block to drop automatically or speed up the process by selecting a specific column. When they choose the second option, the block transfers to the column and then drops rapidly into place. If it comes to rest in a side or top position adjacent to a matching block, then it and its match merge together to create a higher-numbered one.
2048: Merge Blocks Up! offers several methods to improve play via coin- and ad-supported boosters. The player can undo a move, remove an unwanted block, clear areas to the sides of a selected block, and double the value of a block. With the last booster, the game doesn't reward the player with a gift box for meeting a milestone. It only counts a high-value new block if the player created it via merge play.
The game offers a timed tournament option in the upper-left area that features coin and booster rewards for the most points earned during play. In the same area, it also provides the player with an opportunity to turn off the dark mode and choose a different background.
