This is a simple operation to eliminate the game. It’s as simple as clicking and double-clicking on the operation. Click to aggregate the connected patches to become higher-value patches. Double click is used to detonate the explosive block There are 5 explosion blocks in the game, the corresponding numbers are 50, 100, 150, 200, 250+ The ability of each explosive block is different. 50 explosion block is a small bomb that will eliminate 3*3 range of color blocks The 100 blast block corresponds to the cross type elimination, that is, the row in which the blast block is located. 150 explosion block pairs randomly eliminate a common color block 200 explosion blocks will eliminate 3 rows and 3 columns, is an upgraded version of 100 explosion blocks The explosion block of 250 and above is the same ability to clear all the color blocks In addition to the explosion color block, there are 5 kinds of props to choose from. Item 1: Eliminate a color block you specify Item 2: Change the 4 color blocks of the normal color block you specified to the same color as the color block you specified. Of course, it is invalid for the explosion block. Item 3: Aggregate all the common color blocks you specify Item 4: Randomly dye three lines to become the same color, of course, this is also invalid for the explosive block. Item 5: Clear all color blocks Of course, there are also obstacles in the game. It will only appear in the challenge mode until 2000 points, and it will appear after the 20 levels in the level mode. In addition to the obstacle block, there is a cute little monster waiting for you, every 10 levels will appear.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Block Merge holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Block Merge has 43 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Stack Number's written reviews are positive against 97% of Block Merge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Stack Number ships an update every 24 months, Block Merge monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
