About this game
Numbers Go Up is a Roguelike Deckbuilder played on a 2048 grid. Slide, merge, score - then rebuild the rules between rounds until one move breaks the game.
Slide. Merge. Score.
Every slide moves the whole board. Merges score Chips, mods add Mult, and the more merges you catch in one move, the harder the counter jumps. Beat the score target before your moves run out. Miss it and the run is over.
Hit the bazaar & Enhance your Run
Between gates you cash out and shop the black-market bazaar. Mods are illegal programs to run inside your terminal. They rewrite how scoring works. Enhanced tiles change how the pieces themselves behave: they charge, magnetize, go volatile, turn to gold. Hacks give you direct control over the program: fire one and bend a dead board back into a live one. Buy, sell, link, and stack until your build clicks.
Boots and gates
A run is six boots. Each boot is a small gate, a big gate, and a boss gate with its own rule that breaks your plan. Clear the boss and the terminal reboots with higher targets. Clear boot 6 and keep going in Endless.
Play alone or Multiplayer against a rival with dedicated matchmaking & Ranked Mode
Multiplayer is one run for two people: same seed, same shop, PVP rounds and items. Decisions differ, and the higher score wins. Queue casual, climb the ranked ladder, or open a private room and challenge a friend.
Go deeper & Unlock new mods
Seven sectors change the game mode rules. Six encryption levels stack on top for players who want the game to fight back. Every run feeds a catalog of what you've found, decrypted, and unlocked.
120 mods, from cheap early combos to run-defining rares
16 enhanced tiles that change how tiles move, merge, and score
20 hacks for direct control over the board
16 boss gates, each with a rule you have to play around
6 boots per run, then Endless
7 sectors (game modes) × 6 encryption levels (difficulty)
Seeded runs: share a six-character code and race the same board
Online: casual queue, ranked with ELO, private rooms
A catalog and unlock ladder that grows every run
Runs take about 30 minutes
Full controller support & designed for Steam Deck

Dreamhack Atlanta 2026
Hey y'allDreamHack was a blast. Three days of watching strangers figure out the merge in real time, getting absolutely wrecked by The Rot, and chaining combos I didn't know my own game could do.The single most common reaction at the booth: "WAIT... it has MULTIPLAYER?!" A few things came up in feedback I want to bake into the demo:Tooltips and text in general need to be bigger (by far the #1 note)Right-side UI needs to read more clearly at a glanceTutorial needs work - particularly teaching the parallel merge bonus more organicallyColor accessibility supportA bunch of smaller tweaks and clarity passes on mods that aren't reading wellReally useful stuff. Thanks to everyone who took the time to actually tell me what they thought instead of just saying "nice game." and leaving.Every night of the con I went back to my house and patched multiplayer until late, because the netcode kept catching new edge cases under real conference WiFi. Auth bugs, random disconnects, weird tooltip wordings. The build playing at the booth on Sunday was meaningfully better than the one on Friday. I'm taking that feedback loop into the demo. Next up: If Numbers Go Up looks like your thing: wishlist it today. It's the single biggest thing that helps me get into festivals and onto more people's screens before the demo goes live.See y'all at the next one.Best, SamRead full article on Community Announcements (Deev Interactive)
