Play Double Up free online — a puzzle game that loads straight into the page. It leans on car and merge, so expect short rounds you can repeat. You can jump in for two minutes or lose an hour to it; either works.
About Double Up
Double Up is a relaxing 2048 merge game. Take a rest, get yourself a coffee, and enjoy the game. You have all day to think about your moves. No rush! Double Up the number to up and beyond.

No rushing, take your time to think your next move. It's a long haul to reach the infinity, can you reach the summit?
How to play Double Up
Getting started takes about ten seconds. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. Portrait layout: hold the phone the way you normally do, or play it centred in the page on desktop. Expect the first attempt to be a write-off; that is normal here.

| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Arrow keys / WASD | Drive and steer |
| Spacebar | Brake |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
