Pool Merge Mania

Pool Merge Mania takes a pool table and removes the pockets. Balls are shot into the arena, they bounce and collide, and two balls of the same level merge into the next one up. The table fills instead of emptying.

Fifteen balls is the hard limit, and every shot adds one, which turns a relaxing genre into a race. Merging is not a bonus here; it is the only thing keeping you alive, and a shot that fails to combine anything has actively made your position worse.

Because everything is still moving, the table you aimed at is not the table the ball arrives at. A gap you were shooting through closes, a ball you were merging with drifts, and the accurate shot is often the one you took a second earlier.

Fewer balls means more control, which is the tip the game gives you and also the whole strategy. Playing greedily for high-level balls fills the table; playing tidily keeps it open, and the table stays open only as long as you keep clearing. Two buttons under the table help when things have already gone wrong: Shake jostles the whole table so the balls shift, and Change Ball swaps whichever one is waiting to be fired.
