EMOJI MERGE MADNESS

EMOJI MERGE MADNESS is a board merge puzzle where the pieces are emoji. Select an emoji, then select a matching one next to it, and the pair merges into the next tier of that emoji. There are 6 evolution chains, named Joy, Cool, Fire, Love, Spooky and Brain, each with 5 tiers, which makes 30 emoji in total to discover.

A discovery tracker keeps count of which emoji you have found so far, and scoring rewards combos. When the board offers no moves, a Shuffle button rearranges things so you can carry on. The art is retro pixel art. Merges are made between adjacent matching emoji, so the layout of the board decides which pairs are available at any moment. You can play with a mouse or by touch, in a landscape frame of 800 by 600.

Click or tap an emoji to select it, then click or tap a matching emoji right next to it. The two merge into the next tier of their chain. Keep merging to climb each of the six chains to its fifth tier and fill in the discovery tracker. If there are no moves left on the board, press the Shuffle button.

Combos count towards your score, so look for merges that lead into one another. The Shuffle button is the stated answer to a board with no moves, so getting stuck does not have to end the session. With six separate chains, keep track of which ones still have tiers missing from the tracker.
