Slide. Merge. Chain. Think one move ahead. Flow Merge: Directions is a clean, clever puzzle game built on one simple rule: a tile slides the way its arrow points until something stops it. When it hits a tile with the same number, the two merge into the next number, and the new tile keeps sliding. Easy to learn, hard to master. Every level has a goal, a fixed set of tiles and a perfect solution. Find it in the fewest moves to earn 3 stars. 500 HANDCRAFTED LEVELS Every level is checked by a solver, so it can always be solved. Each one has a proven best solution, with no luck involved. A NEW TWIST EVERY 100 LEVELS โ€ข Levels 1โ€“100: Learn sliding, merging, targets, walls and splitter tiles that slide in two or four directions at once โ€ข Levels 101โ€“200: Turn arrows redirect your tiles mid-slide โ€ข Levels 201โ€“300: Portals send tiles across the board โ€ข Levels 301โ€“400: One-way gates only let tiles through from one side โ€ข Levels 401โ€“500: Cracked floor crumbles into walls behind your tiles Each new mechanic starts with a short animated intro and practice levels. Then the earlier mechanics come back one by one for tougher, mixed puzzles.
