A squishy sleeps inside every hard wax shell. Wax Ball is not the usual merge puzzle. Every ball falls sealed in wax, and nothing merges until its shell is gone. Drop it, let it hit, watch the cracks spread — and when the shell splits open, the squishy inside is revealed. Opening the pile is the game. ■ A LOOP NO OTHER MERGE GAME HAS · Every squishy arrives wrapped in wax. Each impact cracks the shell a little more. · When a shell shatters, the burst shoves the balls around it outward. · Two freed squishies of the same grade merge on touch. Sealed balls never merge. · The merge sends out a shockwave that cracks the wax nearby. · And the newborn comes out wrapped in tougher wax. Back to the start. ■ EVERY RUN IS A ROGUELIKE You level up as the run goes, and every level-up deals you three skill cards. What you pick this run is this run's strategy — and it all resets when the run ends. A different build every time. ■ FIFTEEN SQUISHIES From the jellybean to the Giant Castella, fifteen grades, every one hand-drawn. The wax shell shows a frosted hint of the color inside, so you can see what is sealed and aim for it. ■ GEAR UP · Squishy abilities — special effects that fire when wax breaks · Crane skills — effects that fire when you drop · Collect wax, open boxes, gear up, and climb the seasonal leaderboard. ■ FOR YOU IF · You like watermelon-style merge puzzles but want something more · You want short runs that play differently every time · You want the roguelike "what build this run?" feeling in a puzzle Play right away, no sign-up. Portrait, one-handed. Contact: rladndwls7@gmail.com Privacy Policy: https://dropmerge.xyz/privacy Terms of Service: https://dropmerge.xyz/terms
