Merge Squares drops you into a puzzle challenge you can start in a couple of seconds. Think puzzle, merge and math — that is the shape of it. Everything runs client-side, so it starts fast even on a modest connection.
About Merge Squares
"Merge Squares" is an exciting puzzle game, where your task is to connect squares with same numbers. Using logic and strategic mind, you have to decide how to arrange the squares to combine them into one. Each level gets harder, how far can you go?
How to play Merge Squares
Press play and the first round teaches you the rest. Nothing about the control scheme is unusual; the table below covers all of it. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. Expect the first attempt to be a write-off; that is normal here.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse | Select and drag pieces |
| Left click | Confirm a move |
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.
