 stack the cargo into the Derigable on: Merge Wood Block Puzzle

Today is a very simple game that has been advertised a lot in the past couple of months. This is a game that has many clones on the market and may or may not contain the same mechanics as the others. This game is based on the merging game called 2048. 

The game is easy you click on a block to select it and then you slide it around to match it up with the same number. As you combined the number, the number is increased by 1. Over time the board fills up with more random numbers. If any blocks touch the top like Tetris, you lose the round.

Sometimes you can find a block that will give you a key to unlock new block skins. There appears to be 4 different skin thems for number blocks. You can only unlock a skin for a single block at a time. At a point you can also pay coins to unlock a random skin.

The effect tab allows you to buy new particle effects that show up when you drag around and connect blocks. Honestly these effects are very hard to notice and dont add to the experience all that well. These also cost gold coins as well to buy.

The themes tab are unlockable backgrounds that also cost gold coins. You can earn more of these coins by completing some daly challenges that I do not seem to have a screenshot of them.

The last tab which has the most expensive unlock changes the blocks to alphabets. This makes me think the highest block number is 26. I was only have to reach number 25 only once while I played this game. I have no idea what happens beyond that.

Overall:

 4 of 5 cogs.

This is a game you can pretty much play in one sitting. It is very easy to master and the game doesn't offer too much beyond what you see.

Story:

 0 of 5 cogs.

There is no story, except the story you tell about your progress.

Amount of ads:

 Way too many.

Many many ads. You get a bar on the bottom of the screen and then an ad after everytime you lose.

Accurate Advertising?:

💯%

The video ads are very straight forward and do not contain any click-bait methods in them. Again there are many clones of this game on the google market.

Graphics:

5 of 5 cogs.

The graphics are simple but the themes for the different blocks do look very nice. The graphics are the best part of this game.

Gameplay:

 4 of 5 cogs.

Simple, fast and repetitive. The game works well without bugs but... it doesn't offer anything longterm for anyone to keep playing. I feel you can play this game and unlock most things in a couple sittings.

Free play:

💯%

Yup, you can play through and get everything in this game without paying for anything. There are many ads in this game that make up for that.

Fun factor:

📱 A game playable anywhere.

Are you an indy programmer or game dev?

If so, you can leave a comment or contact me on social media for a chance to have an interview with you posted to my blog. I am looking for many devs that focus on mobile programming. If you have a cross-platform game, that is fine too as long as it's on mobile.
