Read full descriptionHide full description
Brain Grid Merge is a number merge puzzle where you swipe tiles and combine matching numbers into larger ones. Your first goal is to reach 2048. After that, you can clear the game for rewards or keep going to push your score even higher. What makes Brain Grid Merge different is the irregular grid. Inside a 6x6 board, you will play on shapes such as octagon, diamond, plus, hourglass, and classic layouts. Each board changes tile movement and merge routes, creating a new puzzle every time. Features - Simple swipe controls - Familiar number-merging rules - Irregular grids that add fresh strategy - Continue playing after reaching 2048 - Clear rewards and coin progression - Collectible tile designs through draws - Use collected designs in-game or as ranking icons - Ranking screen for your best score If you enjoy 2048-style games, number puzzles, merge games, or quick brain-training challenges, Brain Grid Merge is made for you. Easy to start, satisfying to improve. Read the board, merge the numbers, and set your best score.
