Planet drop

How to play Planet drop

Drop cosmic orbs into the container from the top. When two orbs of the same kind touch they merge into the next size up, from a tiny speck all the way to a black hole. Aim with your finger or the mouse, then release to drop. Bigger merges score more points, and chaining them is the key to a high score. The orbs pile up with real physics, so keep the stack below the danger line or it is game over.

Tips

• Keep your smallest orbs near one wall so they merge into bigger ones
• Do not just drop on top of the tallest pile, spread the load
• Set up a chain, one merge can trigger several more
• Leave room near the danger line, a single bad drop can end the run

About Planet drop

Merge games are oddly hypnotic, that little hit of satisfaction every time two things become one bigger thing. Planet drop takes that loop into space with its own set of tiers and lightweight physics, so every run plays out a little differently. Easy to start, hard to put down.
