About Merge 3D: Claw Machine Merging with Twelve Animals
Merge 3D fills a claw machine with cube animals and drops them into a glass case where the real action happens. Two identical animals touching each other merge into the next animal in the chain — a bee becomes a caterpillar, a caterpillar becomes a crab, and the sequence continues all the way up to an elephant across twelve distinct animals, each one larger than the last. As the pile grows, the case fills up and every new drop becomes a decision: place it well or risk an animal tumbling over the edge and ending the round.
A round lasts just a few minutes, and progress is saved automatically — close the tab mid-round and the game picks up exactly where it left off. Best scores and unlocked animals carry over between sessions.
How to Play Merge 3D: Merge All Twelve Animals
Aim the claw over the case and release to drop an animal into the pile. When two identical animals touch, they merge into the next, bigger one. Chaining merges back-to-back builds a points multiplier that goes up to x5.
Two special tools charge up as play progresses:
- Joker (star button): charges as merges happen; when activated, it turns whichever animal it lands on into the next animal in the chain.
- Claw button: charges as animals are dropped; when activated, any animal in the case can be picked up and repositioned elsewhere in the pile.
Watch the height of the pile carefully — if any animal tumbles over the edge, the round ends. The goal is to unlock all twelve animals and beat the current best score.
