Three lives for 2048, none for the developer

— A life disappeared and the game said nothing.
— It had healthy coping skills. We fixed that.

Classic mode stayed, while expansion mode made the board grow from 4×4 to 4×5, then 5×5 and 5×6. Losing a life now pauses play and explains exactly what changed.

We added sound, vibration, separate records, and fullscreen play. Everything fits without pointless scrolling. On one phone, the Boss still managed to summon the system shade. That is apparently a talent.
