Mergis is a free puzzle game you can play right here in your browser. The core of it is merge. You can jump in for two minutes or lose an hour to it; either works.
About Mergis
You must release the Mergis so that they match each other when they have the same number. Choose a lane to release. Merge them vertically. Some power-ups can help you. Score the highest possible!
How to play Mergis
Press play and the first round teaches you the rest. Keep a hand on the arrow keys / WASD; everything else is listed in the controls table.
