Welcome to BYTE IT!

A fast-paced brain challenge where you "think binary, act fast!" Master powers of 2, sharpen your mind, and chase high scores!

How to Play

Your goal is simple: Tap the correct tile(s) that add up to the number shown. But there's a twist — only powers of 2 are allowed!

Valid Numbers

• Easy Mode: 1, 2, 4, 8

• Hard Mode: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32

So, for example:

• If the target is 6, tap 2 + 4

• If the target is 33 (in hard mode), tap 1 + 32

Game Modes

Practice Mode

• No timer

• No score

• Just chill and play
  Perfect for learning or warming up.

Challenge Mode

Your reflexes and logic are put to the test!

Features

• Timer: You have 10 seconds (or 20s in hard mode) to solve each challenge.

• Score: Start at 0. Earn points for every correct answer.

• Streak Bonus: Consecutive correct answers give bonus points:

  • 1st: +1

  • 2nd: +2

  • 3rd: +3, etc.

  • Streak resets if you fail to answer in time.

• HP: You have 3 hearts (lives).

  • Fail to answer in time? Lose 1 heart.

  • Lose all hearts? Game Over.

• High Score: Your best score is saved and displayed every time.

Timer Speed-Up Mechanic

If you fail to answer on time:

• The timer will go twice as fast as punishment

• Answer correctly afterward? Timer returns to normal speed 

Challenger Mode

Just like Challenge Mode, but more :)

• There are buttons up to 2048, so your target will be set up to 4095. Good luck with it.
• Due to the amount of buttons, your screen orientation will be set to landscape only for this game mode.
• You have 30 seconds per target. There's still the Timer Speed-Up Mechanic.
• Another feature is present. The time will be cut by 5 seconds per 100 scores, until it's set to 10 seconds.
• A special BGM is played in this mode.

After the Game

Game Over Screen

• Shows your score and high score

• Motivational messages based on performance:

  • Didn’t beat high score? Encouraging words like “Lowkey pro!”

  • Beat high score? Hype slangs like “BRO"S COOKING?!!”

• Options:

  • Play Again

  • Return to Main Menu

Tips & Tricks

• Memorize power-of-2 combos (like 2+4 = 6, 8+1 = 9, etc.)

• In hard mode, always scan for higher tiles first — bigger numbers reduce the number of tiles to tap.

• Don't panic when time speeds up — focus, and slow it back down with a correct answer.
