Cosmic Forge: Space Puzzle

Welcome to Cosmic Forge, a strategic, space-themed puzzle game where you take on the role of a cosmic architect tasked with building the universe from scratch.
Strategic Grid-Based Merging
Your journey begins on a grid board representing an empty universe. Place celestial elements one by one onto empty tiles. The core gameplay centers on a merge mechanic: when three or more identical elements are placed adjacent to each other, they automatically combine and upgrade into a single, higher-tier cosmic body.
Tactical Planning Tools
To help you strategize and manage the board, the game provides real-time information and storage options:
• Current Element: See the exact piece ready to be placed on the grid.
• Next Up: Preview the upcoming element in the queue to plan your next moves.
• Stash Slot: Save an element for later use or swap it with your current one to optimize your grid layout.
The 7 Tiers of Cosmic Evolution
Merge your way through seven distinct evolutionary phases to earn points and progress:
Stardust (✨) – The foundational building block of the cosmos.
Meteor (☄️) – Formed by merging Stardust.
Moon (🌙) – Your first planetary body.
Planet (🪐) – A stable, evolving celestial sphere.
Star (🌟) – A glowing core of energy.
Galaxy (🌌) – A massive collection of stars.
Black Hole (🕳️) – The ultimate cosmic anomaly and the highest achievement in the game.
Survive the Universe Collapse
Your primary goal is to achieve the highest score possible and forge a Black Hole. However, poor spatial planning can cause the board to fill up quickly without triggering mergers. When there are no empty tiles left to place an element, the game ends in a "Universe Collapsed" state.
