Merge Block

Merge Block is a strategic number merging puzzle game inspired by classic 2048 mechanics. Utilizing a falling grid system, players drop numbered blocks to combine identical adjacent numbers. Using click-to-drop controls, the ultimate objective is to create higher numbers and clear the board.

Setup

• Grid: A vertical grid board where blocks are dropped from the top.
• Goal: Combine adjacent blocks with identical numbers to merge them and reach higher numbers (e.g., 2, 4, 8, 16... up to 2048 or higher).

Controls

• Aim & Drop: Move your mouse cursor left or right to align columns, and click to drop the active block.
• Mobile: Tap or drag your finger along the screen to align, then release to drop.

Rules

1. An active numbered block appears at the top of the grid, showing its number (e.g., 2, 4, 8).
2. Drop the block into one of the vertical columns of the grid.
3. When the block lands adjacent (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) to a block with the same number, they merge into a single block of double value (e.g., 4 + 4 = 8).
4. Merges can trigger chain reactions; if the newly created block lands next to its matching number, they merge automatically.
5. The game ends when any column is filled to the top, leaving no space for new blocks.

Tips

• Always place your highest-numbered blocks at the bottom of the grid to establish a stable foundation for combos.
• Plan your drops to trigger cascade reactions, which merge multiple blocks in a single turn and clear space.
• Avoid placing small numbers directly on top of large numbers, as they can block and isolate your high-value tiles.
