Geometry Dash Merge The Evolution of Smiles

Geometry Dash Merge The Evolution of Smiles has no spikes and no jumping. It’s a puzzle. You drop round faces into a box. When two of the same face touch, they join into a bigger face. The faces come from Geometry Dash, where they show how hard a level is. It isn’t made by RobTop, and no maker’s name shows up in the game. The few words on screen are in Russian.

What do the Russian words in Merge mean?

There are only three. At the top left, “Счёт” means score. Under it, “Рекорд” means record, your best score. When you lose, “Игра окончена” shows up in the middle. That means game over.

Dropping smiles under the pink line

Press the big play button and the round starts. The next face hangs at the top, and a purple arrow points to where it will fall. Click or tap a spot, and the face drops there. Faces roll, bump each other and slide into gaps. The game only gave us the two smallest faces, blue and green. Every bigger face has to come from merging.

A thin pink line runs across the top. When the pile reaches it, the round is over. There’s no timer.

All nine faces, from blue Easy to the megademon

1. Easy, a blue face with a big grin.
2. Normal, a green smiling face.
3. Hard, a yellow and orange face.
4. Harder, a red and orange face with angry eyebrows.
5. Insane, a pink face that’s screaming.
6. Demon, a purple face with white horns and fangs.
7. A second demon, in magenta.
8. A red demon.
9. The megademon, one more red face with horns and sharp teeth.

The demons have horns and fangs, but they’re small cartoon faces. Our best was the magenta demon, number seven. By then the box fills up fast, because a demon is almost twice as wide as a blue face.

Does the Merge record stay after you close the page?

Yes. Our first round ended in under 100 drops, with a score of 2,765. After the restart, the score went back to 0, but the record still said 2,765. It was still there after we reloaded the page. It’s saved in your browser, so it stays on that device.

The bad part is that there’s nothing else to press. There’s no pause button, no sound button and no menu. To stop, you close the tab.

Why Merge fits a phone held upright

It’s taller than it is wide. On a computer, it sits in a thin column. On a phone held upright, it fills the screen. That’s the nicest way to play, with one thumb.

If you like the faces, Geometry Dash Battle Of The Memes 2 puts big meme pictures in its levels. Geometry Dash Clicker is another one with no jump timing. To see where the faces come from, try the Geometry Dash game on our home page, which copies the first levels. The geometry games page has the rest.
