Merge puzzle · Turn-based defense

Three moves to hold the line.

  1. 1 Place.

    Tap an empty slot to place a turret. Each one costs a key.

  2. 2 Merge.

    Drag a turret onto one with the same number and they merge into a stronger one. Merging is free.

  3. 3 Fire.

    Every turret shoots up its own column when you place or move one. Keep the numbered blocks off the line.

Easy to learn. Hard to put down.

A short, one-handed puzzle with no clock.

  • Turn-based

    Nothing moves until you do. Plan your columns, then make your move.

  • Free merging

    Chain as many merges as you like. Only placing or moving a turret ends your turn.

  • Boss every 10 turns

    A big numbered boss marches in every tenth turn. Bring your strongest turret.

  • Crates

    Break crates for keys, gems, hearts and snowflakes. A heart saves you from one breach.

  • Three power-ups

    Freeze the blocks, Blast the board, or push everything back with Time Killer.

  • Keep your run

    Your game saves on your device, so you can close the app and come back to the same board.

Two of a kind. One stronger turret.

Turrets are numbers. Drag one onto its twin and the number doubles: 2 becomes 4, 4 becomes 8, and so on. Turrets from level 8 grow a second barrel, and level 32 gets a heavier base. You can see your power at a glance.
