Axes Merge is a free board game you can play right here in your browser. The core of it is merge. It works the same on desktop, tablet and phone, and your progress picks up where the game left it.
About Axes Merge
Combine (3 or more, in lines) axes to create even more powerful axes! How far can your power reach? But be careful not to run out of more possible moves.
How to play Axes Merge
The rules land within the first few seconds of play. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. Portrait layout: hold the phone the way you normally do, or play it centred in the page on desktop. The second run is always better than the first — that is the whole learning curve.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse | Navigate menus and interact |
| Arrow keys / WASD | Move |
| Spacebar | Primary action |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
The appeal here is the loop: a short round, a clear result, and an obvious idea about what to do differently next time. It works as well on a phone on a bus as it does on a desktop.
