What is Merge Drills

Merge, upgrade, and dig your way to the center of the earth in this addictive arcade puzzler. With each fusion, your drills get stronger, uncovering new layers and challenges.

How to Play

Drag or tap to move drill pieces on the board, and combine two identical drills to merge them into a more powerful version. Keep merging to upgrade your rig and break through harder rock.

Don't merge randomly; sometimes it's better to wait for a better match.

Keep an eye on the merge timer to maximize your score in limited-time modes.
