Beta: free for 30 days

The app works fully and for free for the first 30 days after you first open it. After that you can buy a one-time unlock code below. No subscription.

Most Garmin clones are barely playable: tiny numbers, no resume, clumsy controls. This one uses the buttons you already have, saves the board after every move, and lets you keep going past 2048 for a higher score.

  • Classic 4x4 slide-and-merge rules
  • Auto-save and resume any time
  • Score and best score kept on the watch
  • Colours readable on AMOLED and on colour MIP screens
  • Keep playing after 2048 for a higher score

How to use it

Open Tiles 2048 from the watch's app menu.

Controls: UP up, DOWN down, START right, BACK left. Hold UP or press MENU for the pause menu (new game, resume, quit). Touch screens: swipe to move tiles, hold to open the menu.

Manual

Tiles 2048: user manual

What it does

Tiles 2048 is the classic slide-and-merge puzzle on a 4x4 board. Slide all tiles one way, equal numbers merge into their sum, and a new 2 or 4 appears. Reach 2048, then keep going for a higher score. Score and best score stay on the watch.

Requirements and supported watches

Needs Connect IQ 3.3.0+ and the Connect IQ or Garmin Connect phone app. Supported watches:

  • Round AMOLED: epix 2 and epix Pro 2, fēnix 8, E, Forerunner 165, 265, 570, 965, 970, Instinct 3 AMOLED, Crossover AMOLED, Venu 2, 3, 4, vivoactive 5, 6.
  • Round MIP: enduro 3, fēnix 7 series, 8 Solar, Forerunner 55, 245, 255, vivoactive 4.

Installation

In the Connect IQ app on your phone (or Garmin Connect, then the Connect IQ Store) find "Tiles 2048" by Dialforge, tap Install and sync the watch. Open it from the apps list: press START on the watch face, then pick Tiles 2048.

First launch

A new board with two tiles opens, with Score and Best in the header. A short hint at the bottom (Hold UP = menu, or Hold screen = menu on touch watches) disappears after your first move. The 30-day free beta starts the first time you open it.

Controls

Watches with buttons (START, UP, DOWN, BACK)

  • UP slides tiles up, DOWN slides them down.
  • START slides right, BACK slides left.
  • MENU (hold UP) opens the pause menu.
  • Any press while a banner is showing just clears the banner.

Touch watches (tap, hold, swipe)

  • Swipe in any of the four directions to slide the tiles.
  • Hold the screen to open the menu.
  • A tap only clears a banner.

Settings

Phone: Connect IQ app, Tiles 2048, Settings (the unlock code fields are there too).

On the watch, inside the app:

  • Resume: back to the board.
  • New game: wipes the current board and starts again (the best score stays).
  • Quit: saves the board and closes the app.

License

  • Free beta: 30 days from the first launch, everything works.
  • Price: 3.99 EUR once at dialforge.dev, no subscription. The 8-character code is tied to your watch's UID.
  • Where to enter it: phone, Connect IQ app, Tiles 2048, Settings. Read the UID in "Watch UID (needed to buy a code)", buy the code, then type it into "Unlock code from dialforge.dev". The end-of-beta screen on the watch shows the UID too.
  • After the beta without a code: an end-of-beta screen with the UID replaces the app. Enter the code, then open it again. New watch? Write to us and the code moves for free.

Privacy and permissions

No special permissions.

No internet use. Data stays on the watch.

Troubleshooting

The code does not work. Check that the UID you bought for matches "Watch UID (needed to buy a code)" and type all 8 characters (case is ignored, no 0, O, 1 or I). A code for another app does not fit. Sync, then reopen.

Why did nothing happen after my move? A move that changes nothing is ignored: no new tile, no points. Slide another way.

What happens at 2048? A banner says 2048! Keep going. Press anything and you play on, with no limit, for a higher score.

I see 1K or 2K on a tile. On very small screens the full number does not fit, so tiles from 1024 up are shortened to 1K, 2K and so on.

Is my game saved? Yes, after every move. The board and score come back when you reopen the app.

FAQ

What happens after the 30-day beta?

The app shows a screen asking for a one-time unlock code from dialforge.dev instead of opening normally. Buy the code once below, no subscription.

Does the app send my data to Dialforge?

No. The app works fully offline, and the unlock code is checked on the watch itself, without contacting any server.

The app does not work as described on my watch. Can I get a refund?

Yes. Write through the feedback form below, or to the e-mail in the footer. If we cannot fix it, we refund you, as described in the terms.

Changing your watch?

Write to me and I will move your code for free.
