Mergelings is a cosy merge game about growing a meadow full of little creatures. A basket sits at the edge of your meadow and fills all by itself. Every time it brims over, a new friend hops out — and if you are impatient, tap it to hurry the next one along. Drag two matching friends together and they merge into something you have never seen before. That is the whole loop: drag, merge, discover, repeat. There are 150 creatures to find, and every single one is drawn by hand in code — no two silhouettes are alike, and they stay crisp on any screen. There is no way to lose, no lives to run out of, and no timer standing between you and the next merge. WHAT YOU DO • Drag two matching friends together to merge them into the next species • Tap the basket to fill it faster, or leave it and let it drop friends on its own • Discover all 150 creatures and watch your collection fill in • Earn hearts every second from every friend standing in your meadow • Come back to hearts your meadow earned while you were away • Open mystery baskets that hide a friend far above your usual luck • Expand your meadow with extra rows when it starts to feel crowded • Sell friends you no longer need and put the hearts toward something better FIVE MEADOWS TO FILL Day Meadow — sun-warmed grass and woodland friends Night Meadow — moonlit critters and starry wanderers Sea Meadow — reef shallows down to the deep blue Myth Meadow — folklore, legend and elder dragons Dino Meadow — fossil giants from a lost world Each meadow is its own merge chain of 30 creatures, with its own colours, its own sky and its own music-box calm. Reach far enough into one and the next one opens. DRESS YOUR FAVOURITES Buy flower crowns, bow ties, party hats, cosy scarves, top hats, sunglasses, hero capes, headphones and golden crowns from the shop. An accessory is yours forever and can be worn by any friend you have discovered — and it stays with that species, so a hat survives merging away and coming back. MADE TO BE RESTFUL Mergelings is built for the ten minutes before bed as much as for a long session. The music is a soft pastoral loop written to run for hours without ever seaming or repeating in a way you notice. Sound, music and vibration all have their own switches in Settings. Nothing nags you, nothing expires, and nothing is lost if you put it down for a week. PLAY ANYWHERE Your meadow lives on your device, so the game works with no connection at all. Portrait only, one-handed, and quick to pick up. Available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French and German, with all 150 creature names translated. FREE TO PLAY, FAIR ABOUT IT Mergelings is free and supported by advertising. Rewarded videos are always optional and always offered up front — double your away earnings, speed up the basket, or open a mystery basket at a better tier. You never have to watch one to keep playing, and you will never hit a wall that only a video gets you past. A FEW TIPS • The basket only ever drops the smallest friend. Everything above tier one is merged, never handed to you. • Four taps fill the basket completely, so an idle meadow and an eager one both work. • A crowded meadow is not a stuck meadow. Sell your smallest friends for hearts and buy a bigger one from the shop. • Hearts you earn while the app is closed keep adding up for four hours. Check in twice a day and you will never miss much. • Mystery baskets start appearing once you have discovered five friends in a meadow. There is only ever one waiting at a time, so there is no rush to open it. Whether you like idle games you check on twice a day, merge puzzles you sink an hour into, or just a quiet collection to fill in, Mergelings is built to fit around you rather than the other way round. Merge a few friends. Fill a meadow. See what hatches next. ## Version history (last 4 releases) ### 1.1.3 — 2026-09-08 Performance improvements ### 1.1.2 — 2026-09-03 UI Updates ### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-03 New designs ### 1.0 — 2026-08-25 No release notes. ## More apps by Riley Gray - [Couple Games: 2 Player Games](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/couple-games-2-player-games/id6761193720) - [Solo Games: Puzzle & Arcade](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/solo-games-puzzle-and-arcade/id6781039151) - [Walk the Earth: Step Tracker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/walk-the-earth-step-tracker/id6783092283) - [Couple Life: Share Planner](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/couple-life-share-planner/id6788956345) - [Just The Crumbs: Recipes](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/just-the-crumbs-recipes/id6790964398) - [Zombie Smash: Ragdoll Siege](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/zombie-smash-ragdoll-siege/id6793937891) All apps by Riley Gray: https://appshunter.io/developer/1888202398 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
