About

Merge 42

Features
Read full description

Merge 42 is a grid-merge game: swipe to slide every ball at once, and two matching balls that meet merge into the next one. Easy to pick up, built to be replayed without ever pushing you to. 42 BALLS TO DISCOVER Every new color you reach is added to your Collection, with its name and a short bit of lore. The last one — The Answer — has to be earned. YOUR PROFILE, NO ACCOUNT Pick your nickname and avatar: your game history, best score and collection stay on your device, no account required. LEADERBOARD Look back at your best games and compare them with your friends'. COLLECTIBLE POWER-UPS From level 7 onwards, earn tactical power-ups to explode, move or swap balls, undo a move, sweep away small balls or drop a random ball. At level 10, choose to expand your board to 5×5 and keep your run going. FRIENDS, NO SOCIAL NETWORK NEEDED Share a code with friends to compare scores and unlocked balls, challenge them to a duel, or watch a live game — no account to create, no social network required. Fully optional: off until you open the Friends tab. RESPECTFUL, FULL STOP No ads. No in-app purchases. No account required. Nothing is sent anywhere by default — everything stays on your device, unless you choose to turn on the friends system, which only ever shares what a friend has agreed to see: your name, avatar, and scores once you're both connected, or your live game if you accept their request to watch. Available in French and English.
