Bitmerge: merge data, compound income. Drag matching tiles together and watch them fuse up an exponential chain: bit, nibble, byte, and onward toward the AI core. Every tile on the board earns for you, every second. Higher tiers earn far more than the pieces they're made of, so merging always pays. MERGE UP THE CHAIN Two identical tiles become one of the next tier. Simple to do, hard to put down. Each merge frees board space and multiplies your income. EARN WHILE YOU'RE AWAY Your board keeps generating while the app is closed. Come back to banked progress, reinvest, and push the chain higher. RECOMPILE INTO QUBITS When spawn costs wall you out, recompile: collapse your run into qubits, a permanent income multiplier that makes every next run faster. The reset is always free and always your choice. BUILD THE MOTHERBOARD Deeper still: escalate for kernels, then reboot into the motherboard. Every new peak of blocks earns coins. A new game spends them in the motherboard shop: drag each part from the shelf onto the grid, then buy better models, extra copies and a bigger board. The closer linked parts sit, the more they pay. Coins also drop as boost tiles on the CPU, the GPU or RAM, and the layout you build keeps paying however high you climb. AUTOMATE THE GRIND Earn daemons that spawn, merge, defrag and even recompile for you, and keep working while you're away. Set their levers and leashes; the machine plays itself exactly as hard as you let it. NEVER STUCK A full board is never game over: a fresh spawn merges straight onto its match, more board space is earned in-game, and the recompile is always free. You can always recover without paying. That's a design rule, not a promise. NEON BY DESIGN Strict minimalism: clean lines, high contrast, and a living circuit-board background that ripples like water as you drag. Tiles are chips that grow with their tier (more pins, denser dies, extra electrons in orbit) until the top of the chain runs white-hot and the AI core turns prismatic. EARN LIMITED SKINS Timed events arrive on their own schedule and run on a save of their own, with their own board rules and their own prize. Finish one and the skin is yours for good, wearable the moment you win it. DRESS THE BOARD Four optional skins redraw the whole board, not just its colours. Blueprint is two sheets in one purchase: Cyanotype and Vellum, your board drawn in ink on paper. Clockwork is a brass movement whose wheels turn at the speed your tiles earn. Orbital puts your tiles in orbit as stations, and a drag bends the starlight around your finger. Neural turns your tiles into neurons, and every merge fires a spark along the synapses. Preview any of them on your own board for 60 seconds before you buy. CLIMB THE BENCHMARK Game Center leaderboards rank your live balance as a benchmark index: spend and you drop, bank and you climb. A free-only division ranks players who never bought power. NO ADS, EVER No banners, no interstitials, no ad SDKs. Bitmerge is free to play with a few optional purchases; nothing you must buy to keep playing. Download now and merge your first bit.

Luck isn't random here - you build it. Luck Architect is an idle incremental game about probability: flip weighted coins, roll loaded dice, draw from a deck you shape, and bend the odds until the impossible becomes routine. Start with one coin flip. Weight it, automate it, and watch the numbers climb even while you're offline. Master one kind of chance and the next era opens - six eras so far, each with its own random object and its own way to break it. SIX ERAS OF CHANCE - The Coin: weight a simple heads or tails until it almost never misses - The Dice: stack combos and hot streaks across several dice - The Deck: draw without replacement and decide what stays in the pile - The Wheel: reshape the wedges so the wheel favors you - The Marble Drop: steer marbles through a pegboard and beat the bell curve - The Current: rewire a web of chance where every pulse remembers the last Finished eras keep earning in the background while you build the next. PRESTIGE THAT CHANGES THE RULES Collapse your timeline to earn Axioms. Spend them in the Codex on Laws - permanent rules of probability you can watch fire on screen. Every run is faster and deeper than the last. Changed your mind? Rewrite the Codex and spend your Axioms again. NEW REALITIES, TWISTS AND EXPEDITIONS Seen it all? Start a New Reality. Pick Twists that change how an era plays - a coin that can land on its edge, dice where only pairs pay, a wheel whose wedges grow - and add Burdens for a harder run. Your Legacy carries across Realities. Or set off on an Expedition: a short roguelite run with its own Architect and rules, a Favor at every era door and Trial seals to strike. THE BOOK OF PROOFS Over 130 Proofs to earn: era challenges, secret routes and whole-timeline runs that make you play in a new way. A REAL IDLE GAME - Offline progress: come back to a payout - Auto-Build buys upgrades for you, Fate Autopilot handles your Fate Powers - 200+ upgrades across six Blueprints - Plays offline, no internet needed - Cloud save keeps your progress when you switch phones - Big numbers as letters or scientific notation, Reduce Motion, 7 languages FAIR TO PLAY - No forced ads. Ads are optional bonuses you choose to watch - No paywalls blocking progress - Optional one-time purchases, no subscriptions - Nothing to bet and nothing to lose: you can only build your luck up QUICK ANSWERS Is it idle? Yes. Your engines keep earning while you're away. How long is it? The first eras take hours, the full Codex takes weeks, and Realities, Expeditions and Proofs keep going after that. Do I need internet? No. Sign in only if you want cloud save. Made for fans of idle games, clicker games and incremental games who want more than tapping: a game about probability, automation and upgrades, where every mechanic asks one question - how far can you bend chance before it breaks? Flip the coin. Load the dice. The odds are waiting for their Architect.
