Read full description

Stack, merge, and chase a new high score. Dumplie is a charming merge puzzle with dynamic physics and a simple idea: Drop dumplings into the basket and bring two matching ones together. They merge into a new, larger character—but every move leaves you with less room. Plan ahead, use movement and chain reactions to your advantage, and connect several merges to build a combo worth up to 5× the points. Discover all ten dumplings and work your way up to the mighty Kinako. When two Kinakos meet, the Dumplie Feast begins and creates valuable space. WHAT AWAITS YOU • Intuitive one-finger controls • Fun physics-based merges • Ten dumpling tiers to discover • Combos worth up to 5× the points • Your own high score and character collection • Automatically saved game progress • Delightful animations, music, and haptic feedback Every dumpling changes the board. How long can you stay in control—and how high can you score?
