Funny Balls 2048 is a merge game. In a fantasy forest, a bluebird drops bouncy, colored, numbered balls into a container made of wire. The player's goal is to direct the bird's drops so that matching balls merge to create higher-numbered balls until they reach 2048.
Unlike many 2048 games, the player can't control the bird's actions beyond the drop. They must patiently wait for it to fly to a specific spot above the container before prompting it to drop a ball. Even then, they can't always make a precision drop. The balls act realistically by rolling around and bouncing high.
When the player performs a match, the game bursts both balls like bubbles and then forms a new ball that's the sum of the two (i.e., an 8 ball from two 4 balls or a 16 ball from two 8 balls). The force of the balls popping pushes the new ball up into the air, which can cause other balls in the containers to bounce or roll into new positions.
Funny Balls 2048 helps the player continue to merge balls for as long as possible by providing three boosters (i.e., a bee, a tornado and a woodpecker). The player receives access to these tools as daily rewards and prizes when they create new higher-numbered balls or view videos. For example, the tornado acts like a shuffle button. Wind from it forces the balls to shift around. The woodpecker acts like a hammer removal tool. The player selects a ball to remove from the container, and the woodpecker pecks it until it pops.�
