We love to hear your voice to keep improving your experience. Please let us know what you think, and thanks for playing Merge Wood!
Merge Wood Block Puzzle is a polished, meditative experience that successfully blends the logic of 2048 with the spatial planning of Tetris. The wooden aesthetic is warm and tactile, providing a welcome contrast to the neon-heavy puzzles typical of the genre. The haptic 'click' as you merge three identical blocks is immensely satisfying and provides great sensory feedback.
The game excels at providing a 'flow state' experience; it’s challenging enough to require your full attention but relaxing enough to serve as a perfect wind-down activity. The inclusion of special items like the 'Hammer' and 'Trash Can' adds a light tactical layer, allowing you to recover from a poorly-placed block. It’s a solid, high-quality puzzler that respects the player's time and focus.
Beautiful and tactile wooden art style
Satisfying merge physics and sound effects
Tactical power-ups like Hammers and Trash Cans
Offline play support for puzzling anywhere
Don't just merge three blocks immediately. If you can set up a 'chain reaction' where merging one set of blocks immediately triggers another merge, you'll earn massive bonus points and clear the board more efficiently.
The 'M' block is the final tier. Merging three 'M' blocks triggers a powerful explosion that clears a 3x3 area of the grid. Save these for when the board is nearly full to give yourself a second chance at life.
No, you can take as much time as you need for every move, making it a perfect low-stress puzzle experience.
I came across this game while browsing and haven’t been able to put it down since!! I love everything about this game!! It’s easy to play, nothing complicated or hard to figure out. You can pick it up and immediately start playing. The free version does have ads, of course, but the ads aren’t excessive as I have seen with some other games. I love the design of the game and the simple way it’s set up. I’ve been playing daily since I downloaded this game and I’ve had absolutely no problems with bugs or glitches or anything. I’ve got to say I’ve become somewhat addicted (lol) however I don’t see myself stopping any time soon. It’s just very relaxing and fun!! Super great game!!
I’ve played a lot of merge games and this is my favorite. The speed isn’t too fast or too slow so it’s challenging without being frustratingly difficult or boringly easy. The colors are nice and it’s easy to see and use. Unfortunately, it’s been glitching so that I can’t use my coins to buy the pause, saw or revival options for some reason. I pay for the VIP and am not getting all of what I pay for. The glitch isn’t all bad though. For a long time I’ve wished there was a mode with an actual end. While the game is fun, it would give me a sense of satisfaction to reach the end of a game. Sometimes it feels like I’m just going through the motions with no end in sight and for no reason because there is no end. Now that I can’t use the power-ups, I reach an end. It’s more challenging and more fun. Rather than having a glitch, it would be nice to have an option to play a game that has a real end. On the other end of the spectrum, As someone else mentioned, a truly endless mode would be nice. There’s really no difference between traditional and endless except, unlike traditional, the numbers get higher in endless mode. The option to play without a timer and add a row when you choose, making it truly endless, would be a good alternative.
Hi hope you are doing well. The only reason I rated this game four stars is because 1. There are sooooooo many ads. I was not even done with a level and I have already had like 5 ads because it stops you in the middle of a level just for ads! But I do understand that you have to make money but maybe just tone it down please. 2. The timer. At the beginning of the level it was fine, but as you move along the timer must get faster because it gets stressful if you want to win. All the blocks start to build up and if you want to get a block that’s underneath others then you have to move all of those first. 3. The saw. There is only one option to get rid of the boards. Maybe there could be a thing that like if you put four of the same number you get either a up and down or a side to side rocket and the rocket would clear that row or colum when activated. If you have Five of the same then you get a rainbow let’s say you match it with a four, then all the fours would go away or maybe they would like all match up. Sorry if I got a little distracted. But overall the game is fun but I felt the need to delete it because of the issues. I will download it again if the issue is solved. (I wasn’t trying to be mean sorry if it sounded like that) please respond developers I have written lots of reviews for different apps but have never reviewed spa response. Have a good day/night/afternoon. Bye🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Sorry folks, this is just a bad app. The game itself could very well have been a homework project for an intermediate programming course. You drag blocks around with numbers on them. It shouldn’t gobble up your battery and processor and yet it does. To the point where it starts to lag to the point of unplayability. This should not happen with this simple of a game on an iPhone. That’s not the most annoying thing though, that honor belongs to the mind boggling deluge of ads. Ads when you open the app, start a game, pause the game, unpause the game, and just to keep you on your toes, it will randomly pause the game for you to watch more ads. Don’t like ads? No problem. You can SUBSCRIBE for more money as a recurring payment than any sane person would pay just once for a game that a 12 year old could make in an afternoon. All this would be enough to make this app ridiculous even if there weren’t 50 other versions of the exact same game on the App Store. And the cool thing is... there are! So you can avoid the mistake I made of wasting any amount of your time with this one.
I actually really enjoy this game. It’s fun, visually pleasing and a good brain exercise. However, there are soooooo many ads. I’m all about watching ads for certain rewards, but this game requires ads just to movie forward periodically, and even to just start the game. It also has random ad breaks at some of the most inappropriate times. You’re on a roll, the clock is ticking, deep concentration, then boom…. …ad break. On top of all the many many ads, they are glitchy at times. Sometime the music from an ad will continue on into the game long after the ad is over. Other times and ad with shut down the music and sound effects from the game. Both of these require you to shut down the game and start over. So obnoxious. The game itself alone is great.
This game is fun but absolutely annoying to play. The ads are ridiculous. Even with the paid version you have to watch ads to get certain features of the game. Basically false advertising. There’s no way to completely not have ads. Also, there is no “Settings” feature on the app, so you can’t actually turn the sounds off. If I’m playing the game with headphones on while listening to music, the obnoxious music from the game plays too. I’m sure they make a ton of money on this game and hope they will make a REAL ad free version or get sued for lying about the fake ad free version I’m currently paying for. And for the love of god please add a feature that lets me turn off the sounds.
Everyday I try to beat my score but before I get there it will freeze up. You can’t even pause the game so you don’t lose your points so far collected. So the only choice is to shut it down and open it back up…90 percent of the time my score at the time it froze is gone and I must start all over. At first I thought it was my internet but I’ve played it several times while connected to someone else’s so I’m convinced it’s the app. So sad cuz I love the game and it is 100 percent addicting but I’m writing this and giving it another two days. Hoping the company will read this and look into it in the meantime and fix the issue. If not I’m going to have to find a different game to waste my time with. Ps. I seldom write a review but I’m just hoping by writing this it will get looked into and fixed.
The game itself is enjoyable, but it’s buggy. The ads make gameplay slow at times, and there are too many places that force you to stop and watch an advertisement, such as after reaching 10, 15, or 20. That’s too much. There have also been many times when the ad froze the game, so I had to close the app completely in order to continue the game after re-opening it. It also starts to get slow the higher in numbers I go so that, at times, I can’t even move the tiles. Sometimes when I try to close the game, it freezes my iPad to the point where I’m unable to swipe the app up to close it. I could really love this game if I were simply able to play it more smoothly.
