Simple Merge

Prospectus

Build an army of doodle heroes by merging matching units, then tap mighty Titans to defeat them. Earn gold, improve your strength and grow your village as you face the next boss.

How it plays

Tap or click the Titan to attack. Drag matching heroes together to merge them into stronger units. Collect rewards, spend gold on upgrades and grow your village. Use the pause button to pause or change sound settings.

Opening an account with this game takes one press: Open the holding, above, and it loads on this page itself — nothing downloads and no form stands between you and the first decision. It is drawn for a flexible screen and takes its instructions from mouse, keyboard or touch, as the game prefers. It adjusts itself to upright and wide screens alike, so phone, tablet and desktop all present it properly. If a fullscreen control is offered, take it — a growing enterprise deserves the whole desk.

Analyst's notes for merge holdings

• Keep the board breathing. A merge game is lost in the corners first — leave yourself empty squares the way you would leave yourself an exit, because a full board is a finished one.
• Merge upward in batches. Combining everything the instant it pairs feels productive and quietly wastes the chain bonuses that patient, staged merges set up.
• Know your top of tree. Merging without a target produces elegant clutter; merging toward one named prize turns the same moves into a campaign.
