1337 was a game jam entry for a game jam hosted by Twitch streamer Krassenstein. This jam lets the participant use a random theme generator, where you used your twitch username as a seed for the random generator.

I aimed to make an original number mechanic, with 2048 being a popular game at the time. This project was also the only game I published on the google Play store. This was mostly for experience, understanding the process first hand and how In App Purchases would work for mobile games.

The game itself challenged players to place to creating matching numbers adjacent to each other to earn points. You could change the value of tiles in this game using standard mathematical arithmetic (addition, subtraction, multiplication or division). Each time you performed arithmetic to create a new tile, if that tile’s new value matched an adjacent neighbour – the tile would pop and you’d get points. However, each time it didn’t match, there was an increasing chance of that tile turning into a bomb tile – which would need it’s value matched to defuse it. The aim of the game was to match 1337 tiles, which would become locked into the board rather than popping when matched. If you manage to get three 1337 tiles on your board, you win the game!
