## What is Color Merge?

Move a circle. Line up three of the same color. Watch them merge into something better.

Color Merge is a calm, colorful puzzle played on an 8x8 board. Every move you make, three new circles appear — so the board is always closing in. Clear room by merging, or run out of space and the run is over.

HOW TO PLAY
• Tap a circle to pick it up, then tap any empty square to send it there
• Circles glide around whatever is in the way, so anywhere reachable is fair game
• Get three or more of the same color touching and they merge into one circle of the next color up
• Merges chain — a single move can cascade right across the board
• You score the number of merged circles times their value, so big groups pay far better than small ones

CHASE THE RAINBOW HEX
Push a circle past 9 and it stops being a circle at all — it becomes a rainbow hexagon. Land two hexagons side by side and they detonate, clearing a wide blast of the board in one go. It is the comeback move for when things get tight.

IT GETS HARDER
Early spawns are gentle, but the values that can appear climb as your board does. Forgiving at first. Much less so later.

PLAN AHEAD
Three faded circles show you exactly where the next spawns will land. Every move is a real decision — clear that square now, or live with the block.

FEATURES
• One-thumb controls: tap, tap, done
• Ghost previews of all three incoming spawns
• Autosave — close the app mid-game and continue exactly where you stopped
• Game Center leaderboard
• Personal high score tracked across every run
• Haptics, background music and sound effects, each with its own switch
• Plays fully offline — no account, no sign-up, no connection required
• iPhone and iPad, with a dedicated iPad layout in portrait and landscape

Quick enough for a bus stop. Deep enough to keep you up past midnight.
