Mergo

Mergo is a sixty-second arcade round about matter. Orbs fall into a container and two of the same kind become the next thing up the ladder: dust into a pebble, pebbles into a moon, moons into a planet, planets into a ringed giant, and two ringed giants into a star. Two stars open a black hole, which swallows everything near it and leaves you the space.

Hold anywhere to charge and release to drop. An uncharged release is a soft drop that settles where you put it. A charged one is a slam: it falls fast, shoves the pile, and any merge it causes scores double. Slamming pays more and pushes your own stack upward, which is the whole bet.

The container has a line near the top. An orb left resting above it lights a fuse, and the fuse burns faster the longer the round has run - so the tall pile that scores best is also the one that ends the run. Free in the browser, no download, no account.
