Read full description

Turn a layer. Connect equal numbers. Discover a new angle on number puzzles. Twist & Merge turns a 3D cube into a number-merging puzzle. Swipe to turn a whole layer: matching numbers across its edge merge into larger ones. Rotate your view to explore all six faces and plan your next move. THREE WAYS TO PLAY โ€ข Endless: grow your numbers, build your score and climb the leaderboard. โ€ข Speedrun: race to 2048 and 4096, improve your times and compare them on the time leaderboards. โ€ข Relax: enjoy a separate, peaceful cube at your own pace. LEARN BY PLAYING A hands-on course guides you through turning, merging and using boosts, right on the cube. Revisit the lessons in How to Play. MAKE EVERY MERGE COUNT Earn gold coins, complete daily goals, collect a weekly reward and work toward 17 achievements. Build experience and spend coins to unlock the Paper and Wood themes. The playful IQ meter tracks your in-game progress โ€” it is not an intelligence test. EIGHT THEMES, DIFFERENT MOODS Explore Classic, Paper, Wood, Egypt, Beach, Metal, Ivory and Ice, with their own music and sound effects. BOOST YOUR NEXT MOVE Clear a tile, double a number, swap numbers or reshuffle the cube with animated boosts and new sounds. Available boosts depend on the mode. PLAY OFFLINE TOO Start a separate local game without an internet connection. Offline progress stays separate and is not sent to online leaderboards or merged with your online save. Online services and purchases need a connection.
