Merge Fish
A 2048-style number puzzle where matching tiles are fish rather than numbers.
The 2048 format with fish standing in for numbers. Sliding the board moves everything at once, matching pairs combine into the next kind, and the board fills a little more with every move you make.
Replacing digits with creatures changes the game less than it changes the feel. The arithmetic is still there underneath, but recognising a fish is faster than reading a number, which makes late boards marginally easier to scan.
It is a thinking puzzle with no clock, and the studio frames it that way.
Controls
Swipe or use arrow keys to slide the board.
How to Play
- Slide the board in one of four directions.
- Matching fish that collide combine.
- Keep your largest fish in a corner.
- Avoid filling the board before you can merge.
Tips & Tricks
Pick one direction you never swipe. Committing to that from the first move is the difference between a board that stays organised and one that jams at the halfway point.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same as 2048?
Mechanically yes — the tiles are fish rather than numbers, which makes late boards a little quicker to read.
