A strange little side quest
Grombi trivia break for 2048 Battle: Alexey Pajitnov created Tetris in 1984 after drawing inspiration from pentomino puzzles, then simplified the idea around shapes made from four squares. Another piece of context lands nicely beside it: Space Invaders, released in 1978, helped push video games into mainstream popular culture. So a round of 2048 Battle is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer puzzles timeline.
