Number Nexus

Number Nexus is a falling-number merge puzzle. Numbered boxes come down from the top of the screen, and you decide which lane each one goes into. When two boxes carrying the same value meet, they combine into one box with a higher number, which frees up space on the board and adds to your score.

That is the whole rule set, and the game leans on it. Placement is your only tool, so the question each time is which lane leads to a merge and which leads to a pile of mismatched values. Chains are possible: a merged box can meet another of its new value and merge again. The developer frames the goal as keeping the board clear while chasing ever larger numbers, and does not mention levels, so treat it as a score game that runs until you fill up. It plays with clicks in a landscape frame.

Watch the value on the next falling box. Click a lane to drop the box into it. If it lands against a box of the same value, the two merge into one higher number. Keep placing boxes to make merges, build bigger numbers and keep space free on the board. Your score rises as you combine.

A merge needs two equal values to meet, so before clicking, look along each lane for one that already ends in the same number. Stacking carefully is the developer's own advice: avoid burying a small number under a large one, where it may never meet a twin.

A drop-and-merge number puzzle played for score. Landscape frame (800 by 600). Click a lane to drop. No level count is stated; the aim is to keep the board clear and reach larger numbers.

Hexa Merge 2048 also sends numbered tiles down onto a board to combine, and Storky Number Drop fires numbered bags that melt together when they match.
