Combinatorial planning

Merge

Every swipe moves all tiles. Two tiles of the same color merge into a charged tile; a charged tile that meets its color explodes and clears its neighbours, and charged neighbours chain the blast.

Play Merge

Free in the browser, no account needed.

  1. Swipe or press an arrow key: every tile slides as far as it can.
  2. Two tiles of the same color that meet merge into one charged tile (marked with a ring and a dot).
  3. A charged tile that meets a tile of its color explodes and clears all neighbouring tiles.
  4. Charged tiles caught in a blast explode too: that is a chain reaction, and every step multiplies the points.
  5. A new tile appears after each move. The run ends when the board is full and nothing can merge.

  1. Slide everything. Each move slides every tile in one direction. Try swiping or pressing an arrow key.
  2. Merge to charge. Two tiles of the same color merge into one charged tile.
  3. Explode. A charged tile that meets its color explodes and clears its neighbours.
  4. Chain reactions. Charged tiles next to a blast explode as well. Each chain step multiplies the score.

  • Arrow keys or WASD to slide
  • Swipe on touch screens
  • Z to undo the last move
  • R to restart
