How to play Alien Merge 2048
There is no tutorial to sit through — the game explains itself. Keep a hand on the arrow keys / WASD; everything else is listed in the controls table. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. If a round goes badly, restart — attempts are cheap and it is usually the fastest way to improve.
