## What is Merge Bento?

Merge Bento: Food Puzzle is a cozy bento shop puzzle where merging ingredients is only the first step.

Tap the rice-cooker generator, merge matching ingredients on the board, then pack the requested dishes into a 3x3 bento box before serving. Each order has live packing rules: place rice next to the main dish, put a dish in a corner, balance colors, and earn more stars for better layouts.

What you can play:
- Merge-board food puzzles with order tickets
- A 3x3 bento box where orders are completed by packing dishes
- Live packing-rule checks, star previews, and packing bonuses
- Chef's special targets with bonus rewards and shop reputation
- A rice-cooker generator, delivery rewards, and energy management
- Short chapters designed for quick sessions
- A cookbook where dishes get new art at every merge level
- Coin and gem rewards with local progress saving

This is not just match-and-deliver merging. In Merge Bento, how you arrange the food inside the lunch box changes the order result, reward, and shop reputation.
