Mogi Merge: how to play

A 2048-style sliding number puzzle with a few new tricks. Slide every tile at once, merge two of the same number, and see how big you can go before the board fills up.

How to play

• Slide with the arrow keys or WASD, swipe, or use the pad. Every tile moves together.
• Two tiles with the same number merge into one tile worth double.
• Mogi's battery doubles any tile it slides into.
• Stones block the way for a while, then crumble.
• When no move is left you lose a heart, and Mogi zaps four tiles (stones first, then the smallest numbers) so you can keep going.

The five levels

1. Neon City: make a 64
2. Rooftops: make a 128: batteries appear
3. Sewer: make a 256: stones appear
4. Robot Factory: make a 512: merge every move for a combo
5. Glitch Zone: make a 1024: two new tiles each move

Clear the Glitch Zone and the zones loop again, each zone needing a tile twice as big: 2048, then 4096, and on. You have three hearts for the whole run, and the game is the same for everyone each day, so you can compare scores. Press M to turn the sound off or on.

Tips

• Keep your biggest tile in one corner and build towards it.
• Save the battery for your largest tile.
• A move made when the board is full is a close call, and scores bonus points.

Stones block the way for a while, then crumble. If Mogi has to zap tiles, stones go first.
