Crazy 2048 Balls is a 2048 merge game that uses balls instead of tiles, cubes or other shapes. The player combines low-numbered, small balls to create high-numbered, large ones inside a wood storage area that serves as the playfield across multiple levels. They complete this task by merging together balls that display the same numbers.
Each ball appears at the top of the field and hangs in place until the player directs the ball to drop to the bottom of the storage area. The player must first decide on a spot by sliding the ball left or right. They use a dotted, color targeting line to guide their action. After they drop a ball, it bounces or rolls around. When they drop more than one ball, it might bounce against, roll off or merge with other balls. A rolling ball might cause one or more merges even if the player takes no action.
Crazy 2048 Balls also features two boosters. The player can drop a rainbow ball in place of a specific numbered ball to prompt a merge. They can also use a bomb ball to blow up an area and cause multiple balls to roll and bounce. During the blasts, many balls blow up into the air and fall on nearby matching balls.
The player receives coin winnings. They can use the money to unlock new background themes.
