Planet Merge is a relaxing yet addictive space puzzle where you drop and merge planets to build the entire solar system. Combine two of the same planet to form the next one - start with tiny asteroids and work your way up through the Moon, Mars, Earth, Saturn, Jupiter, and finally a blazing Sun. Simple one-tap controls make it easy to pick up, but mastering the physics, planning your drops, and chaining big combos will keep you coming back for one more round.
