MERGX: Roguelite Merge Puzzle

MERGX is a retro merge roguelite where a 2048-style swipe board meets run-based dungeon strategy. Merge playing cards from 4 up to ACE and JOKER, beat the stage target before the timer runs out, and shape a build that survives deeper and deeper runs. Every run is a gauntlet of timed stages. Between them you cash out coins, earn interest on what you save, and spend it in the shop on upgrades that define your build: combo engines, rank-specific cards like Lucky Sixes and Ace Banker, tempo tools, and risky cursed items that pay big or punish greed. MASTER THE MERGE - Swipe to merge matching cards and climb the rank chain: 4, 5, 6... JACK, QUEEN, KING, ACE, JOKER - Chain combos for multiplied score; keep the chain alive under time pressure - Manage TNT hazards, board space, and special stage rules that change how you play BUILD YOUR RUN - 6 dungeon heroes, each bending the run's rules: score bonuses, coin income, safer boards, riskier rewards - Collect relics at key stages and stack them with shop items into real builds - Power-up cards mid-stage: take one, or skip for coin - every choice compounds SURVIVE THE DUNGEON - Boss stages at 10, 20, and 30 with rule-twisting encounters - Elite stages with doubled rewards and guaranteed modifiers - Hidden Gate: a rare mid-run door hiding quick mini-game trials for bonus coins - Arcade challenges, stage chests, purge events, and more run-ins that keep stages unpredictable KEEP CLIMBING - Endless Mode with Game Center leaderboards for pure score chasing - Hero mastery, daily quests, and a story codex for every card rank - Fast one-more-run sessions, full offline play, no energy systems MERGX is built for players who want a brain puzzle with real stakes: a dark fantasy, pixel-art take on merge strategy where boss battles, combo drops, and shop decisions matter more than luck. Merge fast. Build smart. Survive the dungeon.
