Aura: Resonance uses Firebase Authentication and Firestore to store your leaderboard score, rank, and earned achievements. We use Anonymous UIDs to identify your browser without collecting personal email addresses or passwords.
We use local storage to remember your high score, Experience Points (XP), earned Badges, and preferred player name on your device. Using the "Oblivion Protocol" feature will permanently reset all of this progress both locally and in the cloud.
Aura: Resonance is structurally inspired by the original 2048 game created by Gabriele Cirulli in 2014, evolved here with progression, combo chains, and a robust achievement system.
Swipe in any direction — all tiles slide that way. Two tiles with the same number that touch each other merge into one with their combined value.
Every merge earns points equal to the resulting tile's value. Chain merges in one turn and a cascade multiplier applies — active in both game modes.
Switch mode with the slider above the board. Changing while a game is in progress starts a new game.
Hit enough merges in one turn and a special fires. They stack — a 9-merge turn triggers Stellar, Nova, Prism, and Singularity back-to-back.
The first time you create each high-value tile in a run, a cinematic Value Tier Bonus fires. Fires once per value per game — scales with your chain score.
Keep landing hot turns (3+ merges each) consecutively to build your streak and ignite score multipliers.
Earn XP across all your games to unlock new ranks. XP never resets — every game counts.
The board has found peace.
