Planet Merger

Features
Read full description

Drop a planet. Watch it fall, collide, and merge into something bigger. Planet Merger is a physics puzzle about building the solar system one collision at a time. When two identical planets touch, they merge into the next one up — Pluto becomes Mercury, Mercury becomes the Moon, and on it goes. The board fills faster than you expect, the physics never quite behaves, and one well-placed drop can set off a chain reaction that clears half the screen. MERGE ALL THE WAY TO THE SUN Eleven worlds to discover, from tiny Pluto to the Sun itself. Every collision is driven by real physics, so no two games ever stack up the same way. Cross the line at the top and it's over — so think about where each one lands. LEARN SOMETHING REAL Every planet you unlock opens a card of genuine astronomy: diameter, distance from the Sun, number of moons, day length, year length, surface temperature. Plus the details that stick with you — like the fact that it rains diamonds on Neptune. 220 PLANET PUZZLES A separate quiz mode with 220 questions about the solar system, space exploration, and the science behind it all. Ten questions a round. ONE TAP TO PLAY Tap where you want the planet to fall. That's the entire control scheme. Easy to start in a spare minute, hard to stop when you're one merge away from a world you've never seen. PLAY IN YOUR LANGUAGE Fully translated into 9 languages, quiz questions included. Free to play. An optional one-time purchase removes ads permanently.

About

Bakedoku

Read full description

Bakedoku is a logic puzzle you solve on a baking tray. Place one frosting in every row, every column and every coloured patch of dough, and never let two frostings touch, not even corner to corner. That's the whole rulebook. What makes it hard is working out where they go. Every tray has exactly one answer, and you can always reach it by logic alone. No guessing, no luck, no countdowns. TWO WAYS TO BAKE • Home Baker: a wrong frosting is turned away straight away, and you have three hearts. Ask for a hint when you're stuck, and turn on auto-marking to cross off the tiles a frosting rules out. • Master Baker: nothing is checked unless you ask for a tray check. No hearts, no hints, just the board and your reasoning. Unlocks when you clear tray 15. A NEW TRAY EVERY DAY Everyone gets the same Daily Tray, unlocked alongside Master Baker. Solve it, keep your streak going, and share your result with friends without giving away the answer. TRAYS THAT NEVER RUN OUT Start on small 5x5 trays and work up to full 9x9 boards. The trays keep coming, and each one is built to be fair. EARN YOUR STARS Three stars for a clean run, fewer if you needed help or ran out of hearts. Your stars, streaks and best times are all kept in Stats. MADE TO FEEL GOOD IN THE HAND • Tap to cross off a tile, double tap to place a frosting • Swipe across the board to cross off a whole run • Undo whenever you change your mind • Turn on frosting notes to pencil in a maybe • Left-handed layout, and sound and haptics you can switch off • Plays offline, no account needed Bakedoku is free to play, with ads between trays. Remove Ads is a one-time purchase, and optional Dough packs are available for hints and second chances. Dough can always be earned by playing, too.
