Los Angeles, CA, USAPractice playing with two hands on WASD and arrow keys consistently would be my overall tip to go faster. For specific help, you can join the discord and ask our community how to improve.
A quick update to 2048 enjoyers:
2048 Verse is now officially live on https://2048verse.com/ and is again an acceptable site for speedruns to be verified on. Feel free to join the Discord for 2048 Runs in our pinned forum if you have any questions.
@KilleDragon Thank you for the insightful reply, I completely agree with your sentiment. Some newbie entering the community and claiming to have a run that's gotten a world record when players have been grinding it for years is worthy of doubt at best.
Also, it's been literally 3 days since you submitted a run, and it is clearly a sped up run and doesn't include the built in timer that is on that website. Chill out.
I am one man and I have a full time job sorry I get around to these like once a month
The current link for verse is https://2048verse.jennafilean.repl.co/ and is subject to change.
I cannot view the Facebook video regardless. You can make a new account with a different email and try uploading onto Youtube that way.
Hello speedrunners of 2048:
As you may know, the community created website, 2048 League, has been down for some time now. The primary developer of the website has not been heard from in quite a while. However, our community has worked toward building a new site with many of the similar features. Aptly titled 2048 Verse, many similar components from League are being implemented and the website is a work in progress. Additionally, 2048 Verse WILL be a verifiable website on which to speedrun.
If you have any questions, please feel free to join our Discord for 2048 Runs, which is pinned at the top of this forum.
The moderators are not interested in making a category for that, sorry.
No. You are able to hold down multiple keys at once and the keyboard will read all inputs. You can "spam" arrow keys and the WASD keys in both NKRO and non-NKRO runs, but to achieve at least the 2048 tile, you need some semblance of skill and ability to merge your tiles together; you can't just "spam" your way to the 2048 tile.
Repeated keyboard speedruns can only be done with certain keyboards that are able to handle multiple inputs at once if you hold down multiple keys. The runs are absolutely legitimate and were made their own category for a reason.
This page is only meant for the official version of 2048 on the allowed websites. The moderators have no interest in expanding categories to accept runs from other sites at this time.
Do I know you, tuff_lover? This run is very legitimate and I have been working at lowering the keyboard times for months. Not sure who you are.
The moderators made the decision to remove smaller categories a few YEARS ago for a reason. This is why there is no interest in creating category extensions for lower tile speedruns at this time.
A bit late to reply but it seems riley answered a lot of the questions here. Yes, most runners in the community manually record our runs and submit times based off of the timer on Nei’s website or on 2048 League, which are the two main websites for speedrunning the game.
Yes, any screenshots with a score of 0 were very likely done with undos. The lowest score record of 8 by jozi1123 is verified because he did so on a website where undos are not possible.
The current world record for lowest score is 8, by jozi1123. He attempted many many runs, and the final board only has 2's and 4's. You can find evidence of this in the discord, which are linked on the main leaderboards.
Wow, indeed! Very nerve wracking stuff but glad to have secured a new PB. Thank you, kaiserreich1848.
