Merge games

The board is the challenge

The difficulty in merge games often comes from limited space rather than fast reactions. A clean board gives options; a crowded board forces tradeoffs.

Progress should be visible

Good merge games show why a combination matters. New items, stronger tools, completed collections, or unlocked areas give the player a reason to keep merging beyond habit.

Merge connects well with Idle, Puzzle, Simulation, and Casual. If a game feels too passive, Puzzle may be better. If the upgrade loop is the hook, Idle is the stronger next stop.
