## What is Merge Grove?

Drag two matching plants together and watch them merge into something bigger, rarer, and more beautiful. Merge Grove is a cozy merge-and-grow garden that keeps earning sunlight even while you're away.

Start with a humble Sprout. Merge your way up through twelve tiers to the legendary Genesis Flower — then discover herbs, berry bushes, fruit trees, glowing mushrooms, cacti, crystal blooms, cosmic flora, and the endgame Moonvine, each with their own twelve-tier chain to master.

HOW IT WORKS
• Merge two matching plants to evolve them into the next tier
• Every plant earns Sunlight every second — even while the app is closed
• Spend sunlight on new seeds, garden expansions, and decorations
• Level up to unlock new species, bigger plots, and rarer finds

WHAT KEEPS IT FRESH
• 156 unique plants to discover and record in your Herbarium
• Rare Golden (2×) and Rainbow (5×) variants with a satisfying sparkle
• A glowing mastery aura on your rarest, highest-tier plants
• Mystery pods with surprise high-tier plants inside
• Daily quests and a build-your-streak reward calendar (with a streak shield that forgives one missed day)
• Seasonal festivals with limited-time plants — spring, summer, autumn, and winter each bring their own
• Decorate your grove with fences, gnomes, ponds, fountains, and a rainbow arch — each one boosts your sunlight

COZY BY DESIGN
• No account, no timers blocking your fun, works fully offline
• Play for two minutes or two hours — your garden grows either way
• Free to play; an optional rewarded ad can double your sunlight for a while

Every plant in Merge Grove is an original creation, drawn with love. Plant a seed and see what grows.
