WestCoast MERGE

WestCoast MERGE drops you onto a sunny shoreline where every tile carries a piece of the beach—flip-flops, driftwood, starfish, and more. The goal is to place identical items next to each other, causing them to fuse into a single upgraded tile. Each successful merge clears space and nudges you closer to uncovering rare treasures hidden within the sand. What starts as a simple pairing exercise quickly evolves into a test of foresight. As your tiles become more valuable, the board fills with new combinations, and you'll need to plan several moves ahead to avoid getting stuck. The gentle ocean backdrop and occasional seagull calls keep the mood light, but the puzzle depth offers a satisfying challenge for anyone who loves spatial reasoning and sequence planning.

What is WestCoast MERGE

A relaxed yet strategic puzzle where you combine sun-soaked objects on a coastal board to unlock the beach's hidden wonders.

How to Play

Drag or tap tiles to move them, then bring two matching items together to merge them into a single higher-tier tile. Keep merging to fill your collection and reach the target score before running out of moves.

Tips for Playing

Plan your merges so that each combination also creates space for the next one.
Focus on clearing the lower-value items first to reveal the rarer tiles underneath.
Try to create a cascade by positioning a new tile so it merges with two or more at once.
Keep an eye on the remaining moves—you may need to sacrifice a small merge to save room.
Rare tiles often unlock special effects, so prioritize merging them early.
