## What is MakoBits?

MakoBits is a cozy merge puzzle universe filled with 60 collectible companions.

Drag Makos from the tray onto the board, merge matching neighbors, build combos, and complete route goals. Every Mako has a distinct power that can open cells, refresh pieces, restore moves, improve rewards, or change your next decision.

Unlock Makos through the main merge game, then visit them in their own rooms. Choose a scene, place up to three items, care for your active Mako, grow its level and bond, and exchange short Bit signals. Every unlocked Mako brings its own room scene and themed item set.

Bits are earned through play and spent on care, items, boosters, and Mako messages. Sync is permanent mastery earned through merging; it unlocks room items and scenes and powers Game Center leaderboards. Optional StoreKit packs offer more Bits and boosters without ads or random paid packs.

Features:
- Tactical drag-to-place merge board
- 60 animated Makos to discover
- Personal rooms, scenes, and draggable items
- Energy, joy, food, cleanliness, level, and bond
- Mako abilities, route goals, orders, and boosters
- Original room music and individual Mako sounds
- English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Russian
