Overview
Merge Ball is a physics merge puzzle played in a single portrait pit under a bright cloudy sky. A ball waits at the top of the screen; you slide it sideways and let it fall, and when two matching balls collide they fuse into a bigger ball while the score ticks upward. Balls come in playful designs, from green striped ones and white smiling ones to a black 8-ball.

Objective and input
How to Play
Tap Play to start a run. A ball hangs at the top center of the pit: touch and drag left or right anywhere in the play area to slide it along the top, then release to let it drop. Gravity, side walls and the balls already on the ground decide where it settles. Drop a ball onto a matching one and the pair fuses into a single larger ball, raising the score counter in the top-left corner. Keep merging to grow bigger tiers, but watch the pile - a dashed line near the top marks the limit, and overflowing it ends the run with your final score.
Mobile Controls
Touch and drag left or right in the play area to move the waiting ball along the top, then lift your finger to drop it into the pit.

What stands out
Features
Contact merges on impact
Slide a ball onto a matching ball and the pair fuses on contact into one bigger tier, with the score counter in the top-left ticking up with every merge.
A pile that never lands the same way
Every ball drops, rolls and wedges against the walls and the pile below, so no two landings are identical - and the pile keeps shifting after each drop.
One finger for the whole run
Slide the waiting ball along the top of the pit with a single drag and release - there are no other inputs to learn.
Playful ball designs
Green striped balls, white smiling balls and a black 8-ball are among the designs waiting to be merged into bigger tiers.

Gameplay Tips
- 1
Merge on contact: dropping a ball next to a matching one fuses them instantly, clearing space and pushing the score up.
- 2
The pile is springy and keeps shifting after every landing, so give it a moment to settle before you line up the next drop.
- 3
Build wide and flat rather than tall - big merged balls swallow the most space, and a low heap is what stays clear of the dashed line.
Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Merge Ball about?
It's a physics merge puzzle played in a single pit. A ball waits at the top of the screen; you slide it sideways and let it fall. When two matching balls collide, they fuse into a bigger ball while your score ticks upward.
How do I drop a ball where I want it?
Touch and drag left or right anywhere in the play area to slide the waiting ball along the top, then release to let it drop. On desktop, hold the mouse button and drag sideways to aim, then release. Gravity and the balls below decide where it settles.
What ends a run?
A dashed line near the top of the pit marks the limit. If the pile of balls overflows that line, the run ends with your final score. Bigger merged balls eat up room, so build the pile wide and flat instead of tall to stay clear of it.
How can I raise my score faster?
Drop each new ball next to a matching one — merges fire on contact, and a well-placed pair clears space while pushing the score counter higher. Also give the pile a moment to settle before the next drop, since balls keep rolling after they land.
What kinds of balls are there?
The balls come in playful designs that change as they merge into bigger tiers, from green striped ones and white smiling ones to a black 8-ball. Each merge produces the next tier up.
