## What is Merge Lanterns?

Mergio is a cozy merge puzzle with one big promise: NO energy timers, ever. Drag two matching items together to merge them into something better, fill delivery orders, and grow your little world - for as long as you like.

WHY MERGIO
- No energy, ever - the #1 merge complaint, gone. Generators use only short cooldowns, so play never hard-stops.
- Never stuck - the board can't soft-lock; there's always a merge, and free recovery if you ever need it.
- Fill orders - deliver items to earn coins and XP, then unlock brand-new chains.
- Discovery book - evolve every item to its final tier and collect them all.

HOW TO PLAY
- Tap a generator to spawn fresh items.
- Drag two identical items together to merge them up a tier.
- Drag an item onto an order to deliver it for coins and XP.
- Level up to unlock new item chains: sprouts, gems, potions, cakes and lanterns.

MORE TO LOVE
- Five merge chains, six tiers each - satisfying evolution
- Cozy candy visuals, juicy pops and haptics
- Handy power-ups: bonus chests, instant recharge, auto-merge
- Plays fully offline - perfect for flights and commutes

Merge. Deliver. Grow. No timers holding you back.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-02

The board reads clearly now. Items stand out against the garden instead of blending into it, so you can see your next move at a glance.

The shop is one tap from the board — your coins are no longer a dead end.

A calmer first minute: the tutorial points at the move to make, not at the button that skips it.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-08-26

Smoother ad loading and a lighter start: the app no longer re-requests ads it already has, so the game opens faster and stays responsive.

We also added a gentle way to rate the game once you have actually played a few rounds — no pop-up on the first launch.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-11

Performance and stability improvements.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-08

No release notes.
