Something tiny is about to become something massive. Deep beneath the surface, a world of color, strategy, and surprisingly satisfying tile-merging awaits. Planktoons is a cozy ocean puzzle game where you start with the smallest creature in the sea - and evolve your way to the top of the food chain, one merge at a time. This is your underwater kingdom. Build it wisely. HOW IT WORKS Slide tiles across the grid. Match identical sea creatures to merge them into something bigger, rarer, and more magnificent. Tiny plankton becomes a quirky fish. That fish becomes something grander. And on it goes - until you're commanding the giants of the deep. Every move matters. Every choice shapes your ocean. It's the kind of mind game you pick up for five minutes and put down an hour later. UNLEASH THE WHIRLPOOL When your grid gets crowded, it's time to make a bold move: trigger the Whirlpool. This signature twist reshuffles your entire board - a tactical power-up that can completely flip your strategy. Use it at the right moment and watch your game transform.
