Cat Merge
Drop cats. Merge them up to the Lion King.
A daily cat merging puzzle. Drop cats into the box, merge matching pairs into bigger cats, and keep the pile below the line.
How to play Cat Merge
Cats drop into a cardboard box one at a time. Drag across the box to aim, then let go to drop. On a keyboard, steer with ← and →, then press Space, Enter or ↓. The cat under NEXT is the one coming after.
When two matching cats touch, they merge into the next cat up: Tiny Kitten, Ginger Kitten and on through Maine Coon and Snow Leopard to the Lion King. Bigger cats score more, and merges within about a second of each other build a combo for bonus points. Merge two Lion Kings for 500 points and every cat from the four smallest sizes vanishes.
Watch the dashed line near the top. If a resting cat stays above it for two seconds, the box overflows and the run ends. A run can last up to ten minutes.
Three power-ups help when the pile gets tall, each with two uses per run. Swat removes one cat you tap. Shake bounces every cat in the box. Swap trades the cat you are holding for a different one.
Each cat you make for the first time fills a spot in the Catdex, the row of 11 cats along the top. Your Catdex and best score stay saved on this device.
The daily puzzle is the same for everyone each PT day: the same cats, in the same order, until a Shake or Swap changes what comes next.
