Merge the Balls 2048: Billiards!

Merge the Balls 2048: Billiards! is a 2048-style merge game played with numbered, coloured balls. Balls fall onto the playing field, and two of them connect only when both the colour and the number match. Connecting them is how you score, and the goal is the highest score you can reach.

Two rules make it awkward. The balls are attracted to each other, so the field shifts after they land, and if any ball crosses the white line, the game starts over. The developer adds that it begins easily but that more and more balls arrive as you go. Scores go on a leaderboard, and the developer invites you to compete with friends. No control instructions are given, so how you play is left for you to discover once the game opens. The game sits in a landscape frame of 800 by 600.

The developer lists no controls, so here are the rules. Balls arrive on the playing field. Two balls that share both colour and number connect, and connecting them raises your score. Keep connecting pairs for as long as you can. Do not let any ball cross the white line, because that starts the game over. Expect more balls the longer you play.

The developer does not list the controls for this game. It runs inside the frame above, so a click or a tap on the game is the place to start.

Check two things before expecting a merge: the colour and the number must both match. Because balls are pulled towards each other, they can move after they land, so keep the pile well away from the white line. The developer warns it gets busier over time, so the quieter start is the moment to keep things tidy.

A 2048-style ball merge game in a landscape frame. Balls need matching colour and number to connect, they attract each other, and crossing the white line restarts the game. There is a leaderboard. No controls are listed.

Storky Number Drop also merges equal numbers with pieces that move about, in its case water bags that squash and flow, and Watermelon Stack 3D ends the run when a fruit spills onto the table.
