Merge Dragons is at the forefront of free game apps (4.7 out of 5 App Store rating) and exploits the capabilities of retina displays. Beautifully rendered dragons, plants, items, and levels. Really bright, vivid colors with incredible detail, shading, and animated effects. The quality of the graphics was the main source of the appeal. My first thoughts - “So pretty! and “Yay, dragons!” Merge Dragons caught my eye when I saw their ad on my Instagram feed. Oh, you haven’t heard of Candy Crush? Well, how about Bejeweled? Still no? Well then, clearly you’re not a casual gamer and you’ve got your shit a lot more together than me.įor everyone else in the same boat, similar boat, or relatable boat - this is why Merge Dragons is so addictive and why no one should ever play this game. Have you heard of Candy Crush? It’s like Candy Crush but multiplied and put on steroids.
What’s happening here?įor about 2–3 weeks of my life, I was heavily addicted to a smartphone game called Merge Dragons. My life had somehow reached this sad state of affairs within 24 hours. Before bed, I continue tap-tap-tapping I wake in the morning and I’m tap-tap-tapping I continue doing this even as I go to work and intermittently throughout the workday. I keep the app charged next to my laptop as I eat dinner and continue internetting. I have the app open as I turn the keys to my door, put my stuff down, go to the bathroom, and open my laptop to continue looking at a bigger screen. You’d think that I would stop looking at the damn screen when I get off the train, but nope - I have the app open as I walk out onto the platform, down the steps, and even as I cross the street. I’m consuming little dopamine pellets like a hamster nibbling treats in a cage. I’m gorging on colorful visuals and drinking in shimmering sounds of affirmation and new loot.
I’m tap-tap-tapping on the screen and pinching and gesturing. Instead, I’m dressed in black and completely engrossed in a screen about half the size of my face. Over 60 million tourists come to the city every year just to get views like this.
