## What is Drop Chain?

Drop tiles. Merge numbers. Watch the chain reaction go off.

Drop Chain is a fast, tactile number puzzle built around one satisfying idea: every merge can trigger the next one. Land a tile on its twin and they fuse. If the new value matches its neighbour, that fuses too - and the multiplier climbs with every link in the chain. A single well-placed drop can cascade across the whole board.

HOW IT PLAYS
Pick a column, drop the tile, and think one move ahead. Matching tiles merge into their sum, and each merge in the same cascade scores higher than the last. Chains of five and eight are where the real points live. The next tile is always visible, so every drop is a decision, never a gamble.

CHOOSE YOUR PRESSURE
Set the board to 7, 8 or 9 rows in Settings. A shorter board fills up fast and rewards precision. A taller board gives you room to set up monster chains. Same rules, completely different game.

DAILY CHALLENGE
One board, the same for every player in the world, rebuilt every day. Each day brings a different twist:
- 100 Moves Sprint - score as much as you can in exactly 100 drops
- Cluttered Start - three rows of random tiles are already in your way
- Claustrophobia - only 75 moves and a partially blocked board
- Marathon - a generous 150 moves to build something enormous
Finish your run and share it as an emoji card. No spoilers, just your score, your best tile and your longest chain.

POWER-UPS WHEN YOU NEED THEM
- Hammer - smash any single tile off the board
- Bomb - clear a 3x3 area around the tile you pick
- Reroll - swap the next tile for a different one
Gems are earned as you play, so you can dig yourself out of trouble without spending anything.

COMPETE
Two Game Center leaderboards: an all-time High Score and a Daily Best that resets every 24 hours. Eight achievements to chase, from your first 1024 tile all the way to an eight-link chain and a billion-point run.

BUILT TO RESPECT YOUR TIME
- Plays fully offline - no account, no sign-up, no email
- Your high score syncs through your own iCloud, so it follows you between devices
- Portrait only, one hand, any time you have thirty seconds
- Optional "Remove Ads & VIP" purchase if you would rather play without interruptions

Easy to understand in one drop. Hard to put down after ten.
