About Gravity Merge

Gravity Merge takes the merging puzzle and bends it into a circle. You travel around the outside of a ring holding an orb, release it, and it falls inward. Two matching orbs that touch become the next tier up, and merges chained quickly pay a combo multiplier.

The red ring is the clock. One orb left resting there ends the run, so the board is always asking you to clear space rather than to build the biggest thing you can. That makes the fast, untidy merge worth more than it looks, and the patient stack riskier than it looks.

How to play

  1. Move around the outside of the ring to choose where to drop from.
  2. Release the orb you are holding.
  3. Bring two matching orbs together to merge them into the next tier.

Tips

  • Chain merges while the board allows it. The combo multiplier only pays when they come quickly.
  • Clear the red ring first. One orb resting there ends the run, whatever else is going well.
