Mergecoil: Snake 2048

Mergecoil combines Snake movement with 2048-style merging. Collect numbered tiles to grow the snake, then merge matching segments at the tail to shorten it and open space. Pickup order can create a chain of merges, so plan your route toward 2048 without blocking your next move. Play free in your browser, using arrow keys or WASD on desktop, or swipe or the optional direction pad on touch devices. The site also offers a separate arena mode. Some project code was developed with assistance from Claude, as documented in the project commit history. Play Mergecoil at https://snake2048.io/
