About 肉鸽2048
A portrait-mode casual puzzle game on TapTap that adds roguelike runs to 2048's tile merging; the developers describe it as a fusion of Balatro (小丑牌) and 2048. Updates have added playable characters, treasures and cloud saves. It was the first game 出头喵游戏, a studio of twin brothers (one does design, the other art), made with TapTap制造 (TapTap Maker), TapTap's AI game-making tool. The brothers say their first prompt was a single sentence asking for a game that combined roguelike and 2048 play, that the core gameplay ran within a few hours, and that the game went from start to release in seven days of spare time with no programmer on the team. The creator note promises no ads and no in-app purchases. It is a free trial (试玩 DEMO) on Android, iOS and PC.

How it was built
Partially verifiedIn 游戏茶馆's interview the brothers say this was the first game they made with TapTap制造 (TapTap Maker). Their first instruction to the AI was one sentence asking for a game combining roguelike and 2048 play; the core gameplay ran within a few hours, and the game went from start to release in seven days, worked on after hours for about 20 to 30 hours in total. They say the first result was not ideal and took many more versions, and that they learned to tell the AI exactly where and how large each UI element should be.
