About Pivot & Merge
Rotate. Match. Drop. Chain again. Put a finger on the board and the nearest 2×2 turns with it. That is the whole game — the chains do the rest. ■ Three rules ・Touch the board and the four nearest tiles rotate under your finger. They click every 90°, and the angle you release at is the one that sticks. Let go while the frame is still gray (0°) and the move is cancelled. Swing all the way to 180° or 270° in one go — still one move. ・Tiles with the same number merge when they connect vertically or horizontally (diagonals don't count). Two of them double, three quadruple, four multiply by eight. The more you stack up, the bigger the jump. ・Tiles above fall into the gaps a merge leaves behind, and if they land in a match, that's a chain. Your score is the new number times the chain count — two chains double it, three triple it. ■ The seconds after you let go The rotation takes an instant. Then the board takes over: it drops, it matches, it drops again. "+224 ×3" appears above the grid, showing the total and the multiplier from that one move. The best moment in this game is when a shape you set up on purpose runs longer than you expected. ■ Nothing is chasing you It is turn-based. The board does not move until you touch it, and no tile falls while you think. Stop in the middle and the board is still there when you come back. Three free minutes buy you three minutes of play. Some days one rotation is enough. ■ Made for you if ・You like number-merging puzzles and want a different way to move them ・You love chains in falling-block games but not the time pressure ・You want to make one move while you wait in line ・You enjoy pushing your best tile up one step at a time
