## What is King Chick?

Swipe to merge cute clay critters. Two chicks make a bunny, two bunnies make a fox — all the way up to the King Chick. Every swipe is one turn, and monsters march closer from the top and the bottom of the board.

• 2048-style merging meets tower defense
• Guard both edges — an open side lets monsters through
• 5 maps and 50 levels, each map with its own critters, monsters, boss and music
• Snow freezes cells, spores speed up enemies, sandstorms shove the board, lava vents erupt
• Pick a power-up between waves, spend coins on upgrades, save props for emergencies
• Daily Challenge and Endless mode once you've learned the ropes
• Collection of every critter, monster and prop, shown live
• Progress syncs with iCloud. No ads, no accounts, no timers.

Clover Meadow is free. Frosty Field, Mushroom Grove, Dusty Dunes and Ember Peak can be unlocked one by one, or all four together. One-time purchases — nothing to renew.
