How to play

  1. Tap a tile, then tap an adjacent tile showing the same letter. They merge and rank up: alpha + alpha becomes beta, beta and beta become gamma.
  2. Keep merging until one tile reaches the target letter shown at the top of the wave. That clears it.
  3. Press any tile and a ring of light spreads outward from it. Merge two tiles while both are lit and the result skips a rank — a resonance.
  4. Every wave runs on a timer. Extend it, or spend gems on a hint that points at a usable pair.
  5. Later waves add locked tiles that only free up when you merge beside them, and the ring crosses the board faster and narrower each time.

Progress stays yours

Coins, gems, rank, highest wave and unlocked themes are kept on your own device. No sign-up, no email, nothing to remember.

Ranks worth climbing

Bronze upward, earned through ascensions rather than bought. The Android build plays the same game offline.
