Drop, merge, and climb! Dumpling Drop is a cozy little merge puzzle the whole family can share. Slide a dumpling to where you want it, let go, and when two of the same kind touch they merge into the next one up the chain — all the way from a tiny Shrimp Dumpling to the legendary Golden Dragon. Easy to learn, hard to put down, and made to be enjoyed by kids and grown-ups alike. FOUR WAYS TO PLAY • Levels — Clear goals and earn up to three stars. The fewer drops you use, the more you earn. Great for a quick, satisfying challenge. • Endless — No finish line. Just keep merging and chase your best score. Pick Relaxed, Regular, or Hard — each keeps its own best score, and it plays the same on iPhone and iPad. • Daily — One shared twist a day. Everyone gets the same board with the same pieces, so the whole family can compare scores fairly. • Tilt — Tip and shake your device to roll the dumplings around the bowl. Play Zen for a no-lose sandbox, or Challenge to see how steady your hands really are. PLAY TOGETHER • Optional Game Center family leaderboards: Daily Drop, Star Collector, Golden Send-offs, and fair per-device Endless boards COLLECT THE CREW Nine dumplings make up the merge chain, each with its own cheerful face — designed with our own kids — plus special hidden "Friends" that pop up as you play.
