Planet Merge is a space-themed puzzle game that offers a fresh twist on the familiar "watermelon game" genre. Instead of dropping fruit, you launch adorable planets into a circular play area and combine identical celestial bodies to create increasingly larger worlds.

Gameplay: Aiming Beyond the Next Collision

Press and hold to align the position and trajectory of the next planet, then release to launch it. When two identical planets touch, they merge into a larger celestial body. A well-calculated shot can trigger a chain reaction, freeing up space and accelerating your progress.

The circular play area creates constant pressure. If a planet falls outside the boundaries, the game ends; therefore, simply creating large planets isn't enough—you must also manage where they settle.

Controls

Press and hold: Aim the planet to be launched.
Move mouse: Adjust position and trajectory.
Release mouse button: Launch.

Tips and Tricks

Plan ahead: Arrange planet pairs for future moves rather than just chasing immediate merges.
Observe trajectories: Predict how the new planet will bounce or roll after landing.
Keep the center clear: Avoid creating a cluttered, cramped mess near the edges of the play area.
Look for chain reactions: A strategically placed planet can trigger multiple consecutive merges.
Create space: Use smaller planets to clear out congested areas before building larger ones.
