The game in one sentence
Zertyzzle is a crystal merge puzzle game: slide an entire row or column, line up three identical crystals and watch them merge into a more powerful one, then chain the reactions for huge combos.
Three rules, that's all
- Slide: a row or column moves one square; the crystal leaving one side comes back on the other.
- Merge: three identical crystals in a line merge into the next tier (Shard, Gem, Jewel).
- Chain: three Jewels make a Zertyon, which clears its whole row and column.
Key features
- 120 levels across 12 nebulae, each with its own look and music: ice, rocks, locks, wild crystals, linked rows and a boss level at the end of every chapter.
- Game modes: Zen mode with no move limit, a 60-second mode, endless mode with three lives and a worldwide leaderboard, and a daily challenge.
- Play with friends: duels on the exact same board, and teams of up to 20 players chasing a shared weekly goal.
- The Weekly Rift: one challenge for everyone, no boosters, in leagues of 30 players from Quartz to Zertyon; every score is verified by the game's servers.
- Level editor: players design their own levels and share them with a short code.
- Collection: a 45-card illustrated album, three little planets to build, a companion animal, crystal themes, backgrounds, effects and a monthly season pass.
- A little every day: daily wheel, three quests and a rewarded login streak, with an optional reminder.
- No sign-up to start; progress can be saved with an email, Google or Apple account.
Ads and purchases
Zertyzzle is free to play and supported by ads. No ad ever interrupts a level; some are offered to the player in exchange for a bonus, and it's their choice. In-app purchases (stardust, boosters, cosmetic items) are optional. The Zertyzzle Club subscription removes forced ads and gives no advantage in the weekly competition.
