In a nutshell, this game is 2048 meets Super Auto Pets. It really scratches a similar sort of itch to SAP, a game i have put many hours into. It’s easy to understand, with a simple, icon-based art style, but it has the ability to get a lot of longevity out of it with all of the different synergies you can find among the different packs. This game seems really thoughtfully designed, and really sets itself apart by the many ways it takes advantage of its unique mechanics to create a novel experience for the player. It really feels like i’m experiencing something new, not just a reskin of another, more popular game, which is all too common in the app store. There’s just enough RNG to keep you on your feet and thinking strategically, but not so much that you feel like you get stuck with a bad build that you can’t do anything about. it also gives you a lot of content in just the lite version, but i’ve found that buying the full version is absolutely worth it. No ads, which is a huge plus. Congrats to the dev for making such a fun game :)

I don’t leave reviews very often, but this is by FAR the best game I’ve played in a long time! The unique packs and playstyles ensures every game is unique and challenging. Finding new combinations of tokens that compliment each other is also very satisfying and fun. I bought the full game (which was only $2) but even the free version was great! My only recommendation would be to add a scoreboard. I haven’t seen one yet, so it’s hard to compare my new score to my old ones. Also a way to see what packs you were using and what tokens you selected for those high scores would be cool! Please keep adding more expansion packs with different sets of tokens! I would even happily pay more for another expansion. Amazing game!

The gameplay loop is engaging, the progression is well designed, and there’s a load of fun challenge modes that toss in new mechanics and/or goals. It’s not even remotely the generic merge-3 game I anticipated and the name does it a disservice imo. This is actually a great little rouge-like with quick runs and relatively intuitive mechanics!I’ve probably played 10-15 hours of this already and I’m genuinely excited for more content to be added in the future! Massive props to the dev (Stingless) for the monetization scheme too, it’s playable for free and than just a few USD ($2.99 I believe?) for the full game.Edit: It’s probably been about 30-40 hours now (yikes) and I’m still really enjoying Merge Maestro!

Absolutely love this game, it is perfectly optimized for mobile and checks every box. Progression is rewarding, difficulty is easily adjustable. Everytime I win I feel like I earned it. If you enjoy rogue like games with awesome synergies, this is the game for you. A bit of a learning curve, but don’t let that discourage you! You will pick it up eventually. Part of what makes these games so fun is the learning curve and difficulty! This game will remain a staple on my phone for a long long time. Absolutely worth buying the full version. (Only $2?!) hats off to the developers on this one!
