Discover Dragons like you’ve never seen before! Collect and care for hundreds of unique Dragons, uncovering their origins as they grow. From playful Cat Dragons to rare Bluebell Dragons, every new Dragon you hatch and raise brings this cozy, peaceful world to life. Long ago, Dragons filled this enchanted forest, thriving alongside nature. Each evolved into forms as diverse as the surrounding flora and fauna. Some shimmered with glittering scales, others were soft and furry, and some even bloomed with flowers or mushrooms. When nearby mining drove the Dragons away, fog crept in and the forest fell silent for years. Now, join Liv the Elf to lift the fog, summon the Dragons home, and help the forest sparkle with life once more. GAME HIGHLIGHTS * Summon Dragons: Help Liv mix elements, gems, and more to call Dragons of all shapes, forms, and rarities to your forest. * Raise Dragons: Hatch eggs, feed your Dragons, and help them grow into magical, bonded companions. * Collect Hundreds of Dragons: Discover a magical array of Dragons that evolved alongside nature. * Uncover Lore: Reveal charming legends and little-known facts about your Dragons. * Explore and Restore: Clear the fog and help the forest awaken with life, magic, and folkloric friends. * Decorate Your Forest: Adorn your forest with plants and decor that possess magical abilities to help you progress. * Missions and Events: Missions, updates, and limited-time events bring exciting new Dragons, décor, and rewards. There’s always something new to discover!

About

Raindrop Merge

Features
Read full description

A peaceful rainy window becomes your playground. Guide a tiny raindrop across a rain-covered car window. Absorb smaller droplets, grow larger, ride the wind, and fill the glass bottle waiting below. Inspired by the mesmerizing way raindrops merge and slide across glass, Raindrop Journey transforms a familiar rainy-day moment into a relaxing yet surprisingly strategic puzzle experience. Grow by merging Drag anywhere near the top of the screen to launch your raindrop. Every droplet you absorb makes you larger. Bigger drops become heavier, flow faster, and resist the wind more effectively. Plan your route carefully and create the perfect giant drop. Master the rain Nature is always changing. • Wind pushes your droplet sideways. • Small drops can stop and stick to the glass. • Water slowly evaporates as you travel. • Dirt stains steal your precious water. • New raindrops continue to appear during every stage. Sometimes it's smarter to leave a droplet behind and merge with it later. Every launch becomes a new puzzle. Fill the bottle Your goal isn't simply reaching the bottom. Every drop that reaches the glass bottle pours in all of its water, and larger drops contribute dramatically more. Fill the bottle across multiple launches before your shots or time run out. Continue after failure to keep the water you've already collected and finish the stage. A cozy rainy atmosphere Enjoy a calming experience filled with thoughtful details: • Gentle rain ambience • Soft pentatonic sound effects • Tiny thoughts appearing on the rainy window • Birds, squirrels, falling leaves, and occasional visitors • A rare cat slowly walking across the window • Expressive raindrop faces that blink, smile, and even fall asleep • Beautiful celebration effects when you clear a stage Every stage has its own peaceful rainy scene, creating the feeling of watching the world through a foggy car window. New challenges await As you progress, the weather becomes more unpredictable. • Sticky leaves • Powerful wind gusts • Rival giant raindrops • Foggy windows you can wipe clean • Obstacles that permanently change the stage Hope also arrives in unexpected ways as heavier rain, passing cars, and mist restore moisture to the glass. Bonus cleaning stages After certain stages, the rain stops. Wipe the remaining water from the window with smooth strokes. Clean carefully to avoid streaks, earn bonus points, and choose blessings that help during your next adventures. Endless Mode How far can a single raindrop travel? Keep absorbing water, fight stronger winds, and survive as long as possible while setting your personal distance record. Relax, think ahead, and lose yourself in the quiet beauty of a rainy window. One little raindrop can become something much bigger.
