How to play - Numbers will automatically drop from above. - Rotate the tower to select which column to drop a number into. - Keep merging numbers to avoid the tower getting too high. - Smaller numbers will get eliminated from the tower as you create bigger and bigger numbers. - If you drop a number on a full column it's game over!

Drop Merge

Drop falling jewel groups onto a board, rotate them, line up same-number tiles, and merge them into bigger ones. Each chain doubles your score, and pulling off a 5+ chain fires a fullscreen explosion across the playfield. A hybrid drop-merge puzzle built around the catharsis of nailing a huge chain combo. [Features] โ–  Chain combos take center stage Score multipliers grow with each link in a chain โ€” 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, and 16x at 5+ chains. Big chains shake the screen and unleash a fullscreen fireworks burst. The moment your planned chain detonates is pure satisfaction. After a 5+ chain the next piece holds for a beat so you can savor the explosion. โ–  Multi-jewel falling pieces (1โ€“4) 2-jewel pairs, 3-jewel I and L trominoes, and seven different 4-jewel tetromino shapes โ€” every drop is a fresh shape-and-rotation puzzle. Set your max simultaneous count (1โ€“4) in Custom Rules. โ–  Fluid controls Slide left/right while falling to choose your column. Tap to rotate 90ยฐ clockwise. Quick down-swipe = hard drop. Hold a downward drag = soft drop. Move at your own tempo. โ–  Existing-jewel priority merge When a multi-jewel piece lands with a same-value match next to a tile already on the board, that existing tile wins the merge โ€” your planned chains land exactly the way you imagined. โ–  Per-jewel split landing When a multi-jewel piece lands across uneven columns, each jewel falls independently to its own resting cell โ€” opening up shape-aware play. โ–  11 customizable rules Column count (4โ€“8), simultaneous jewel max (1โ€“4), Timer mode, Wild jewels, Preview count, Danger bonus, Auto-clear, Initial tile placement, and more. Mix and match โ€” practice mode to hardcore, the difficulty is yours. โ–  Wild jewels Every 10th jewel is a Wild that bonds with any number. Clutch your way out of tight boards or seed a massive chain. โ–  Danger zone While the top 2 rows are stacked, every merge gets a 2x multiplier. Every move walks the tightrope between risk and reward. โ–  1024+ auto-clear Merging into 1024 or higher automatically clears the lowest tile on the board. Disable it with the "No auto-clear" rule if you prefer. โ–  Pause support Tap the top-left pause button to freeze the game any time. Swap apps, get a notification, or pull down Control Center and the game auto-pauses. Resume right where you left off. โ–  Seed replay Past runs are saved with their fixed seed. Replay the same tile sequence and try again. "Same luck, better choices" โ€” measure your skill against your past self. โ–  15 languages Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Bengali, Urdu, Turkish, Indonesian. โ–  Game Center leaderboards Compete worldwide on three boards: all-time best score, daily best, and longest chain.
