Ore Merge

Ore Merge is a 4×4 merge puzzle with a mining twist. Swipe in a direction and every tile on the board slides to that edge. Matching tiles fuse into the next tier, a new stone spawns, and the board gets a little tighter. Your job is to keep combining upward without painting yourself into a corner.

Every tile is its own pixel art artefact, not a flat number. You start with rough stone and climb eleven tiers: copper, iron, silver, gold, then amber with a fossilized beetle trapped inside, sapphire, emerald, a jagged void crystal, a dragon scale, and finally the Philosopher's Stone itself. Each merge rewrites the board and every move either opens up space or costs you a run — no undo.

Reach the Philosopher's Stone for the celebration, then keep pushing if you want; the score keeps counting. Short runs, high ceiling, one board, pure merge.
