Exponent

Exponent is a merge-chain puzzle casual game. Drag a path across neighboring tiles of the same value: their values are added up, then rounded up to the next power of two. The longer the chain, the bigger the payoff.

◆ HOW TO PLAY ◆

New tiles fall in, the board fills, and the goal is simply to keep chaining for as long as you can and beat your own best score.

But be aware of the badges! Some of them increase the variety of falling tiles. The game becomes harder, but also more rewarding. There are many strategies, and no single one always wins.

◆ FEATURES ◆

• Opens instantly — no splash, no loading, no sign-in. Under 1 MB.
• Ten hand-crafted boards, where every player faces the exact same challenge.
• A 2-minute blitz mode, for players who prefer time constraints.
• Earn a hammer for every new biggest tile, to clear a tile you don't want.
• Earn a snowflake on every level up, to halve a tile that is in your way.
• Earn undos as your score climbs, to take back a move.
• Color-blind-friendly tiles.
• Every game ends. No endless mode, no grind — the variety of tiles grows as you play, and eventually you run out of moves.
