Petri: Cell Drop Merge Puzzle

Dive into the microscopic universe of Petri, a mesmerizing physics-based cell merge puzzle game! Drop bioluminescent microorganisms into the culture dish, watch them collide with squishy organic physics, and trigger spectacular evolutionary chain reactions.

Inspired by classic drop-and-merge gameplay, Petri replaces rigid shapes with dynamic, elastic cells. Combine two identical organisms to evolve higher forms of microscopic life — from simple RNA fragments to glowing amoebas, pulsing neurons, and ultimately the legendary Tardigrade!

🌟 KEY FEATURES

📋 HOW TO PLAY IN 4 SIMPLE STEPS

1️⃣ Aim & Drop: Slide your finger to position the cell and release to drop it into the dish.
2️⃣ Merge Identical Cells: When two cells of the same level touch, they seamlessly fuse into a larger organism.
3️⃣ Build Cascade Combos: Use the dish curvature and elastic collisions to set off exciting multi-merge combos.
4️⃣ Avoid Overflow: Keep organisms below the danger line. If your culture overflows, the experiment concludes!
