About the game

Space Mergers is a satisfying fast-paced puzzle game that encourages critical thinking. Combine blocks to create combos and gain points, reach the highest score you can! There is over a million different ways to play if you fiddle with the settings.

Gamemodes

There are two different game modes arcade and frenzy. The difference between them is the frequency of certain blocks that fall. In frenzy the lower the number on the block the more of that block will be on the board, allowing you to combo more easily with it, but at the expense of points since lower blocks will fall more often. In arcade the blocks that fall are completely randomized.

Settings

You can alter the settings of the board within the settings menu. The music volume, amount of rows and columns, the amount of seconds it takes for a new row of coins to drop in a game, and the spawn rate of power blocks are all editable within this menu.

Here are the possible applicable settings

• Music: 0%-100%
  
• Rows: 5-50
  
• Columns: 5-50
  
• Seconds till fall: 1-60
  
• Power Block Spawn Rate: 0%-10%

Scoreboard Info

The game has a local scoreboard that keeps track of your top 5 scores. There are setting restrictions that will keep you from getting on the scoreboard.
To be able to get onto the scoreboard your settings must be set to meet the requirements below:

• 20 or less rows and columns
  
• Fall rate must be 5 or below

Controls

• Z is used to pull blocks toward you, once you pull a block you can only pull more of the same block until you push it back outward

• Arrow keys allow you to move around the menus and also move your ship in game
  
• Enter will let you select menu items
