IN DEVELOPMENT 

EARLY ACCESS

MergeMaxxing is a polished merging sandbox where you nudge glowing orbs into each other to build them up through 30 distinct tiers — from soft pulsing spheres to black holes, crystal lattices, swirling galaxies, and radiant ascended stars.

Highlights

• 30 procedurally rendered orb tiers, each with its own animated visual — pulses, shimmers, particle rings for the mids; black holes, molten cores, crystals, vortexes, sunbursts, auroras, galaxies, quantum foam, hexagonal lattices, and a final radiant ascension for the legendaries.
• Sliding spawn pool — as your best tier climbs, lower tiers rotate out and higher tiers rotate in. The screen evolves as you do.
• Branching upgrade tree with four paths — Spawning, Scoring, Spinners, Utility — every node tier-gated so you actually have to climb to unlock it. Two convergence gates lock the rebirth ritual until you've fully completed the tree at Tier 25.
• Spinning rod tools — physical rotating bars you can place anywhere in the arena. They sweep through orbs as they spin, knocking them into chains. Forge up to four.
• Orbital magnets (prestige unlock) — drop these into the arena and orbs entering their field get sucked into a stable orbit, swirling in a ring around the magnet so similar tiers find each other and merge naturally. Up to three.
• Inventory system — store any spinner or magnet for later, drag any placed tool to reposition, right-click to send it back to inventory.
• Cursor modes — left-click to swap between Force (push orbs away) and Solid (a heavy physical ball you can slam orbs around with). Live mode indicator in the HUD.
• Combo system — chain merges within 2 seconds and stack a +15% bonus per link, up to ×4. A glowing combo counter pops in when you start a chain.
• Floating "+N pts" popups at every merge, colored by the resulting tier — high-tier merges paint the screen in their signature color.
• Steeper scoring curve — point reward per merge scales with tier^1.55, plus an Apex Tier Bonus (+60% on tier 15+ merges) for endgame players.
• Rebirth + Prestige Tree — reset your run to permanently boost a prestige multiplier, awaken Tier 26-30 (each its own unique legendary visual), unlock magnet slots, and toggle enhanced visual layers. Prestige Points scale with your best tier and lifetime score, so the rebirth grind is meaningful.
• Ethereal animated menu with drifting cosmic gas blobs and a glassy floating panel.
• Settings panel — master volume, mute, FPS counter, and a guarded "Reset All Progress" with a 2-click safety on destructive actions.
• Persistent saves — local browser/desktop storage means your progress survives reloads.

• Left click on empty arena — swap cursor mode
• Left click + drag on a placed tool — reposition it
