Sportsball Merge

Drop, merge, and stack your way from ping-pong ball to tennis ball, football, basketball, and more! Hold out for the bowling ball - it flattens some of the others.

Every ball has a smile, and each one wants to be a bigger ball.

Sportsball Merge is a fun puzzler about dropping sports balls into a crowded pit and combining them into bigger ones. Two ping-pong balls make a golf ball. Two golf balls make a billiards ball. Keep going, and you'll climb all the way from a ping-pong ball to a beach ball - twelve tiers in all, including a hockey puck that lies flat, a football that stands on its point and tips over, and a bowling ball that changes everything by smashing the pile down.

HOW IT PLAYS

Slide to aim, tap to drop. Balls of the same kind merge the moment they touch, so a well-placed drop can set off a chain reaction down the pile. Let the stack climb over the line, and the run is over.

THE BOWLING BALL

Reach 50,000 points and a bowling ball drops as a reward - and a problem. It's enormous, it's heavier than anything else on the board, and everything caught underneath it deflates and bursts under the weight. Then it just sits there, taking up space for the rest of your run.

You get a choice: pay 30,000 points to zap it out of existence, or keep it and play around it. Merge two bowling balls together and you'll get the beach ball - light enough to bounce across the top of the pile.

FOUR LEVELS

Level 1 is untimed - take as long as you like. From Level 2 onward a drop timer starts counting down, tightening from three seconds to two to one. Each level has its own field: a soccer pitch, a basketball court, a ping-pong table, a bowling alley.

CHOOSE YOUR DIFFICULTY

See the next three balls coming, or two, or one, or none at all. Fewer previews means less planning. The queue itself never changes, so you can't reroll a ball you don't want by switching.

Your ten best scores are kept on the device, with the date you set them.
