Version 1.1 previewTwo neutron stars merge into a black hole, which draws in the board.

Merge your way to a black hole.

Build your way from dust to neutron stars. Merge two neutron stars to form a black hole that pulls in the board and clears space to keep playing.

Version 1.1 previewA closer view of the collapse. The demo stages a late-game board and uses the game’s physics.

Gravity pulls to the middle.

Drag around the arena to aim, then let go. There is no floor: bodies fall toward the center, and the pile grows outward. Matching bodies merge into the next one up.

Version 1.1 preview

Watch gravity do the work.

New bodies fall inward and settle against the pile. When matching bodies touch, they merge into the next one. This close-up keeps the whole arena in view.

Build the next body

Ten celestial bodies form the ladder. Only the first five drop; everything above a moon has to be built through merging.

Set off a chain

One merge can lead to another. Each link in the chain increases its value, up to eight times over.

Watch the ring

A settled body outside the ring for two continuous seconds ends the run. The ring brightens as the pile approaches and turns red when time is running out.

A little room to move

Break up a crowded orbit.

Version 1.1 preview

One charge. New possibilities.

A large antimatter charge breaks up the pile. Watch the blast, then the bodies settling into fresh merges. The close-up trims the wait before the charge; the full recording shows the surrounding controls.

What decides a run

Heavy things sinkMass behaves like mass. A neutron star dropped onto a bed of dust works its way to the middle while the dust rides up over it, so the pile sorts itself as it settles.

Antimatter, for when it jamsTwo kinds of charge. The small one clears the dust and pebbles clogging the gaps and leaves everything from an asteroid up standing. The large one takes an asteroid with it. Either way the shove matters more than the crater.

Chains climb a scaleA chain is one drop’s consequences, and the notes rise as it runs, so a long cascade is a melody rather than a pile of blips.

Every merge answers backIn sound and in your hand, weighted by what you just built. A dust merge and a neutron star merge do not feel the same.
