Make a Merge Game

Merge games are built on one of the most satisfying mechanics in gaming: combine two identical objects to create something new and better. Drag two small flowers together to make a bigger flower. Merge two bigger flowers to grow a bush. Keep going and you'll have a whole garden — or a dragon, a kingdom, or a galaxy, depending on the game. Popularised by Merge Dragons! and Merge Magic!, the genre taps into the same psychology as collecting and crafting. There's always a new item to discover on the merge chain, and the board is a sandbox where players strategise about which items to merge and when. The genre has exploded in popularity because it's immediately intuitive — anyone can drag two things together — but the discovery trees and resource management add real depth. Merge games consistently rank among the top casual games for both downloads and revenue.
