Arrow keys / WASD · Swipe on your phone

Two little cupcakes. A whole lot of possibilities.

THE SIMPLE RECIPE

A pinch of strategy.
A spoonful of luck.

01

Give them a little nudge.

Use your arrow keys, WASD, or a swipe. All cupcakes slide together in that direction.

02

Two of a kind? Delicious.

Matching cupcakes merge into the next treat. Each cupcake can merge once per move.

03

Make room for the rainbow.

Every valid move adds a new cupcake. Keep some space open and work toward the 2048 rainbow.

MEET THE WHOLE BATCH

Small treats. Sweet milestones.

From your first cherry
to a golden encore.

✧ The rainbow is your 2048 goal. Keep baking to discover what comes next.

A FRIENDLY BAKER'S TIP

A cozy corner goes a long way.

Try keeping your biggest cupcake in one corner. Build smaller matches around it, leave room to slide, and use Undo when a batch needs a second chance.

Can I keep playing after 2048?

Absolutely. Reach the rainbow cupcake to win, then choose Keep baking. There's a golden encore at 4096, and the numbers can keep growing after that.

Will my batch be here when I come back?

How do Undo and New batch work?

Undo restores your previous board and score, including the cupcake added after that move. You can step back through the last 10 valid moves. New batch starts a fresh board; your best score stays.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

A NOTE FROM THE OVEN

A familiar puzzle.
A sweeter little world.

Crumb is an independent cupcake-themed 2048 game. Match equal tiles, keep a little space free, and see how far your batch can go.

Inspired by 2048 by Gabriele Cirulli. This version has an original game implementation and AI-generated cupcake illustrations created for this project. It is not affiliated with other Cupcakes game sites.
