Bakery Shift: Cupcake Merge

You are running the counter. Three customers are waiting, and every one of
them wants something specific.

2048 Cupcakes is a merge puzzle built around a bakery order queue. Swipe and
every treat on the five-by-five tray slides that way; two matching treats
that collide combine into the next one up. But merging alone earns you
nothing. Points come from one place only: making the exact treat an open
order is asking for.

Fill an order and that treat is sold — it leaves the tray for the customer's
box. That is the twist the whole game turns on. You are not building one
enormous tile, you are running stock: bake it, sell it, clear the space, and
start again.

TWO WAYS TO PLAY
Switch between them in Settings whenever you like; each keeps its own best
score.

BAKERY SHIFT — BEAT THE PATIENCE CLOCK
Every order arrives with patience, shown as a row of draining pips. Let it
run out and the customer walks — and leaves a burnt tray behind. Burnt trays
slide around with everything else but never merge with anything, ever. They
are permanent clutter. Four of them and your shift is over, even if half the
tray is still empty.

TWELVE ORDERS TO A SHIFT
Complete twelve and you have worked a full shift. Keep going afterwards if
you want a bigger number, or start clean and try for a faster, tidier run.

CLASSIC — NO CLOCK, NO CUSTOMERS
A four-by-four board, every merge scores, and nothing leaves the tray. Build
your way up the treat ladder to the 2048 cake. No orders, no patience
timers, no burnt trays — just you and the board for as long as you like.

FOURTEEN ACHIEVEMENTS
First Sale. Double Service, for filling two orders with a single swipe.
Spotless, for a full shift without burning anything at all — the hard one.
And the classic ladder, all the way to 2048 Master.
