Ore Merge

Ore Merge is a physics puzzle about greed and gravity.

Drop an ore into the pit. When two identical ores touch, they fuse into the next tier. Coal becomes copper, copper becomes iron, and the ladder runs all the way up through gold, redstone, lapis, emerald, diamond and netherite to the beacon core and the dragon egg.

The rules take five seconds to learn. Keeping the pit under control takes much longer.

WHY IT IS HARDER THAN IT LOOKS

Every ore is a real physics body. They roll, they settle, they wedge into gaps you did not plan for. A merge in the wrong place sends the whole stack shifting. The pit fills from the bottom up, and once an ore crosses the top line, the run is over.

WHAT IS INSIDE

- Eleven tiers of ore, each one visibly rarer than the last

- Real rigid body physics, not a grid

- Next ore preview so you can plan two moves ahead

- Tricks you buy with your own score: blow up any ore you point at

- Local high score with a crown you have to earn

- Haptic feedback with three intensity levels, or none at all

- Music and sound effects you can switch off independently

- No timer, no lives, no energy bar

FOR THE COLLECTORS

Merging two dragon eggs does something. We are not going to say what. Very few players get there.
