Merge Drop: Critter Jar

MERGE DROP - a cozy physics puzzle full of squishy, kawaii critters.

Drop a critter into the jar. When two of the same critter touch, they merge into the next one up - two Frogs make a Bunny, two Bunnies make a Kitten, all the way up to the biggest critter in the set. Keep merging, keep the jar from overflowing, and see how far up the ladder you can climb.

DROP IT OR THROW IT Drag to aim and let go to drop. Or swipe down to throw - bank a critter off the glass into its twin for a BANK SHOT bonus. Big critters land with a thump and nudge their neighbours; little ones bounce and tumble.

143 CRITTERS TO COLLECT 13 sets of 11: Meadow, Ocean, Farm, Jungle, Arctic, Sweet Shop, Fantasy and Space, plus festive sets that visit at Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter and Lunar New Year. Every critter you make joins your collection - and look out for rare shinies.

CURVEBALLS AND THE WILD EGG Every so often a long, wiggly curveball drops in - it merges with critters of its own color. Merge in quick combos to fill the golden ring, and you'll get a Wild Egg that merges with anything.

POWER-UPS Pop a critter, tidy up the jar, give it a shake, slow time, switch on Moon Gravity, or throw out a Safety Net. 12 power-ups in all, earned by playing or bought with coins.

POP PARTY A second way to play: get three or more of the same critter touching and they pop. Chain the pops into huge cascades.

A NEW SEASON EVERY 3 DAYS World and country leaderboards for both modes reset every 72 hours, so there's always a fresh race to the top.

REASONS TO COME BACK - Three daily missions and a level to climb, with coin rewards - Undo your last drop, once a game - Close a game and pick it up later, right where you left off - Critters that watch the next drop, cheer your merges, and panic when the jar gets full

CALM, CUTE AND COZY Soft, squishy sound, and nine original soundtracks - chilled tunes and ambient soundscapes with rain, crickets, owls, birdsong and wind chimes. All the music is original to the game, so it's safe to use in streams and videos.

Merge Drop is free to download. It shows an ad between some games; a one-off Remove Ads purchase switches them off for good. Coin packs and power-up packs are optional, and nothing you buy is random.
