Sprout Merge

A quiet 4x4 grid game about growing things. Spend sunlight to spawn a seedling, then merge two matching tiles to grow them into the next stage. Seedling becomes sprout, sprout becomes clover, clover becomes tulip, and so on up to a full-grown tree — six stages in all. HOW IT WORKS - Sunlight builds up on its own, even when the app isn't open. - Spend sunlight to spawn a new seedling into any empty cell. - Tap a tile, then tap an adjacent tile of the same stage to merge them. - Merging advances the tile to its next stage and refunds a small amount of sunlight when you merge two fully grown trees. - There's no losing state and no timer — just a grid that slowly fills, and the satisfaction of clearing space by merging up. BUILT FOR CHECKING IN, NOT GRINDING Sprout Merge doesn't ask for your attention constantly. Sunlight accrues passively whether you're playing or not, capped at eight hours of catch-up, so there's always something to spend when you open the app — whether that's every few minutes or once a day. Your highest stage reached, total merges, and daily streak are tracked right on the screen. NO NOISE No accounts, no ads, no in-app purchases, no network connection of any kind. Sprout Merge doesn't know who you are and doesn't want to. Your grid and sunlight live on your device and nowhere else — the passive accrual is just a local clock comparison, not a connection to anything. Sprout Merge is a low-pressure merge game for the moments between things — open it, spend what's built up, merge a few tiles, and put it down again.
