I got a two million tile in 2048

Whenever I want to just shut my brain off and mindlessly play a game, I have this game of 2048 on a 7x7 grid on my phone. I have been playing this same ongoing grid nearly every day, a few minutes at a time, for literally months. Because it is on a much larger grid than the standard 4x4, it takes nearly zero thought/effort and is difficult to actually lose (though definitely not impossible). Recently, I finally achieved a tile valued at 2,097,152. To be clear: you probably shouldn't be too impressed by this. It really takes no skill to do this, just a lot of time. I thought someone might find this mildly interesting or something.

I switched from android to GrapheneOS because of battery life and non-easily-replaceable battery (the security is a bonus), and doing so exposed me to F-driod and the FOSS apps that brought back sanity from the enshittifcation of mobile apps, including cool little games like 2048. It's a nice little game. Congrats on the score. Recently, I found an emulator for the TI-89 calculator and was surprised that TI had a free to download ROM OS for it on their website. I wouldn't have found this stuff if I wasn't pushed out of corporate walled hellscapes, something, something silver lining and all that.
grapheneos is still android

Omg thanks so much. I used to love this game but hate the ads. Plus this version is a little different regarding tile size choices and swiping the entire board instead of adding one row at a time. I'm stoked!
I play a mindless game daily too. Usually while on the can. The numbers don’t even properly fit in the display anymore.
I got 4 million on Block Blast. 
That’s insane, congrats!
Thank you for sharing!
Do you have any other recommendations for such games? I've been looking for "mindless" games but I haven't had much luck finding any
I however have found "Breakout 71" which is pretty cool!

I used to play "Subway Surfers" a little, but got tired of the gameplay being designed around microtransactions etc (similarly, for many other mobile-friendly web-based games on some websites)
I've also tried to find other similar runner games on Steam (again, I haven't found a favorite :( ), but unfortunately the Steam Deck can't always replace a phone in many everyday scenarios :(
I play mostly puzzle games, which are not really mindless. But Lato might fit that niche
If you like solitaire games, check out 'aisleriot solitaire'.

Holy moly high score!

But why were you recording your screen?
Because I could tell that I was about to create a 2M tile soon and thought it would be neat to capture the moment.
