Start with a tiny kiwi bird. Drop a plushie into the playfield and watch what happens when two matching Menimals touch: they merge into a bigger animal. Keep going through capybaras, pandas, elephants and more. The full progression ends with the mammoth. Merge Plushies is a cozy physics-based merge puzzle with simple rules and a board that gets trickier with every drop. Choose where each animal lands, leave yourself room, and build the biggest Menimals you can before the pile gets too high. • Drop and merge matching animals • Discover a growing collection of Menimals • Play free from kiwi through European bison • Unlock Premium for every animal through mammoth and the crochet art style • Choose from four difficulty levels: Easy, Normal, Hard, Epic • Aim and drop Psot or Promyk to help clear the board • No ads • Optional in-app purchases: Premium and Mischief Maker packs Cute on the surface. Surprisingly strategic underneath. Just one more merge. YOUR MENIMALS Browse your wardrobe, discover animal names and fun facts, and see how many times you have created each one. Roll an avatar in Classic or Remix. Premium adds Custom: choose the head, eyes, ears and muzzle yourself. HALLOWEEN From October 8 through November 10, collect costumed animals in plush and crochet styles. Costumes earned during the season stay in your wardrobe afterwards. PLAY AND CLIMB Earn points, follow your position and advance through the leagues. Your current round is saved so you can come back to it. MEET THE MISCHIEF MAKERS Psot clears the Menimals he touches. Promyk upgrades each Menimal he touches by one tier. Pick a helper, aim and drop. Keep a daily streak by completing rounds to earn helper gifts. During Halloween, watch for spiders worth bonus points and a Joker pumpkin that can merge with the animal it touches. Find your discoveries in Extras.
