Ember Fusion is a calm sliding-tile puzzle set inside a forge that has gone dark. Its ember plates scattered across four halls the night the fire went out, and you are the last plate-setter. Slide them home, one space at a time, and the halls relight behind you.
The rules are the ones you already know. Each board has one empty cradle. Tap any plate beside it and the plate slides in. Keep working the gap around the grid until every number sits where it belongs. No timer, no lives, no second-guessing a wrong tap — just a board, a budget, and as long as you want to think.
FORTY HAND-TUNED LEVELS
- Kindling: gentle 3x3 boards to find the rhythm.
- Bellows Hall: 4x4 lattices that need a plan.
- The Crucible: heavier 4x4 scrambles that punish sloppy routes.
- Fusion Core: twenty-four plates and one cradle. The real thing.
BEAT PAR FOR THREE STARS
Every level carries a move budget. Clear it under par for three stars and the best payout; go over and you still clear, just with fewer stars. Replay any level any time to improve your record.
FOUR CHARGES WHEN YOU WANT THEM
- Recall pulls back your last slide.
- Spark lights up the strongest plate to move next.
- Bellows widens the three-star budget by eight moves.
- Forge Swap lifts two plates and trades their places outright.
Each one costs Embers, and clearing a level without spending a single charge is its own merit.
SPEND EMBERS ON THE FORGE
Three permanent upgrade tracks change the numbers on every level you open afterwards: richer payouts, a wider star budget, free Spark hints at the start of each board. Five plate faces change how every tile looks, from plain forged iron to twilight alloy.
BUILT TO BE PLEASANT
- Ten merits mapped to real progress, not busywork.
- A daily offering with a gift-box opening worth watching.
- Reduced-motion and high-contrast options for comfortable play.
- Your progress is saved mid-level, so an interrupted run waits for you.
COMPLETELY OFFLINE
No account, no sign-in, no ads, no in-app purchases, no connection required. Nothing you do in Ember Fusion leaves your device. Play it on a plane, on the train, or anywhere with no signal at all.
