## What is Merge Mine?

Merge the ore. Fill the vault.

Merge Mine is a satisfying tile-merge puzzle: place ore into your mine grid, match tiers to
merge them upward, and watch stone become copper, iron, silver, gold — even diamond. Every
run is a fresh challenge with no fixed levels, no lives, no timers.

• Simple to learn: tap an empty slot to place the next tile
• Chain reactions — one placement can cascade into several merges at once
• A spawn curve that keeps getting tougher the deeper you dig
• Stuck? Watch an ad or grab a Rescue Pack to clear space and keep going
• Earn coins as you play and spend them upgrading your mine — carts, lanterns, a diamond vault
  and more, all visible from your home screen
• Daily reward streak keeps building even between sessions
• Short sessions that fit anywhere — one more run before the bus arrives

No sign-up, no fixed levels, no lives to wait for. Just a grid, a mine, and a vault that grows
with you.
