Game Rules:

1. Rule 1: The primary objective in Stone Merge is to systematically combine identical stones. Drag a rock onto another that shares its number and color to initiate a merge.
2. Rule 2: Successfully merging two identical stones creates a new, upgraded stone. This resultant gem will display a higher number and typically feature a new, vibrant color, marking your progress.
3. Rule 3: The play area is a grid holding various stones. You can relocate a stone by clicking and dragging it. You may drop it onto a matching stone to merge, or place it in an empty slot, assuming a clear path exists.
4. Rule 4: Merging is restricted to stones that are directly adjacent, either horizontally or vertically. Diagonal merging is prohibited. Strategic foresight is essential to maximize your merging potential.
5. Rule 5: As the game progresses and merges occur, new stones will populate the board. The game concludes when the grid is completely filled and no valid moves remain. Plan your actions to maintain board space and achieve high numbers.
6. Rule 6: Consistent merging is the key to longevity. Always look for cascading merge opportunities to keep the board as clear as possible for incoming stones.

Controls:

1. Action: Select Stone: Click and hold the left mouse button (or tap and hold on a mobile device) on the specific stone you intend to move.
2. Action: Relocate Stone: While maintaining the hold/touch, drag the selected stone to your chosen destination on the grid.
3. Action: Drop/Merge: Release the mouse button or lift your finger to place the stone. If positioned over an identical stone, they merge; otherwise, it occupies the empty space.

FAQ:

1. Q: What occurs when the grid is full?

If the game board fills up with stones and no adjacent identical pairs are available for merging, the game ends. The strategy is to continually merge stones to free up space and prolong the game.

2. Q: Is there an option to undo a move?

At present, Stone Merge lacks an undo function. Once a stone is moved, the action is permanent. Therefore, careful planning and anticipating the results of each merge are crucial.
