## What is Minimal Merge?

Minimal Merge is a trendy sliding puzzle game. It is a Brain training game where you need to match blocks that have the same number of dots, shape and colour, until you reach Infinity. This is a very relaxing game (yet, challenging!).

You can match 2 blocks only, but you can also match 3, 4 or even 5 blocks if you play the Expert Mode. The more blocks you match & merge, the higher the score you get. Simple Game?

How to Play this Puzzle Game?

This Merge Game presents you one shape and colour for each combination of dots, where red circles have 1 dot, orange crosses have 2 dots and yellow triangles have 3 dots, etc. All you need to do is to connect the shapes, increasing the count and reaching Infinity.

Unlike Classical Puzzle Games such as 2048 or Dominoes Puzzle, here you have to build your game strategy properly so that you get the highest score amongst the competition:
 
-You will have access to coins and you can use these coins to apply the Hammer and destroy some blocks or apply the Double Rainbow to get a piece that will combine with any dot.

You will get more coins by playing the game frequently, but you may also buy some coins or watch a video to get some.

As you match 3 or more pieces, you will be loading the Combo Breaker. When it is fully loaded, you can use it and it will upgrade 2 of your blocks, randomly.

So, what are you waiting for? Start merging & matching & connecting them all!

### 5/5 — Adore this game!

*2023-09-14, version 1.2.3*

im in love with this type of simple and relaxing puzzle game, and this one is the best by far! nice music, sounds and visuals to help destress and have fun :) i do wish there was an option to only spawn circles, but thats just a personal preference! again, amazing app <3

### 1/5 — Progress not being saved, always restarts with tutorial

*2023-02-28, version 1.2.3*

This game seems like a lot of fun normal, but right now it’s frustratingly unplayable since it keeps resetting. I see it logging me into my Game Center account when I open it, but when I close the app and open it again, it goes through the tutorial again and my coins are reset to zero!

I can also tell it isn’t saving progress because when I check for the daily bonus after quitting the tutorial level, it keeps giving me the daily bonus each time I close and reopen the app.

Please try to find a way to fix this, this really is a fun game but this issue with not saving progress is getting in the way of my enjoyment of the game.

### 3/5 — Restarts at tutorial EVERY TIME

*2022-07-14, version 1.2.3*

I really like this game, but every time I open it to play another game it starts at the very beginning tutorial, with no memory of my previous games, points, coins, high scores, etc. I’ve played the game for months and still have to start over every time I play it. I can’t believe nobody else has reported this problem. I’m using a fairly new iPhone running the latest iOS 15.5. The game recognizes my Game Center ID and logs me in properly each time I open the game, but the game has no memory of me ever playing my many past games. Am I missing something?

Also, the AppStore page for this app is way out of date. It claims it updated to version 1.2.3 just one week ago, but the version I downloaded months ago is version 1.7.2. 
Have you abandoned this game and the people who play it?

### 3/5 — Nix für mich

*2020-08-15, version 1.0.4*

Dadurch dass wahllos Teile hochgestuft werden ist es schwer planbar und somit eher ein kurzes Vergnügen. Gerade durch die schwere Vorhersehbarkeit verliert es viel von seinem Reiz als Denkspiel.
Auch die minimalistische Optik gefällt mir nicht besonders, aber das ist natürlich Geschmackssache.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2019-10-30, version 1.0.4*

So far all good 😊

### 5/5 — Merge

*2018-03-13, version 1.0.3*

I really enjoy this game and I just started to play but I can say that this is going to be a great game and I thank you for such a great game 🎆💜

### 5/5 — Read this please

*2018-01-09*

I have all (I think?) of your loop/infinity games and I love them!! I don’t leave written reviews much but this (these) game(s) are really relaxing and help with my anxiety a lot. I really appreciate your work and I’m excited to see more! Thank you

**Developer response:** Hello FessEden,

### 5/5 — Obsessed!

*2017-10-14, version 1.0.2*

This game is so addicting... like 2048, but way better!

### 5/5 — Entspannung pur

*2017-10-08, version 1.0.2*

Ich kann dieses Spiel nur empfehlen. Man kann super gut von Alltag abschalten, weil man doch etwas über seine Spielzüge nachdenken muss.  Man verliert sich richtig darin. Es macht einfach viel Spaß. :)

### 5/5 — Fun and Entertaining

*2017-09-20, version 1.0.2*

I enjoy the game as it helps me find patterns and is not very time consuming so I can play a game now and then.
