In plain words

2048 in 2048 bytes is a playable clone of the 2048 sliding tile puzzle game, compressed into exactly 2048 bytes of JavaScript code. Players use arrow keys to slide numbered tiles and combine matching values to reach 2048. Created as a demo for the JS1k 2014 competition, it's designed for anyone interested in the original 2048 game or compact code challenges. The standout feature is fitting a fully functional game into such a tight file size constraint.
