Niche Shift

Description

Dive into the Deep Blue!
Niche Shift is a deceptively simple strategy puzzle that challenges you to build a thriving ocean ecosystem. It starts with a simple swipe: merge Plankton to create Krill, merge Krill to create Fish, and evolve your way up the food chain to the legendary Leviathan.
But the ocean is a dangerous place. Unlike standard merging games, your creatures have needs.
The Twist: Hunger & Balance High-level predators (Level 3+) arent just tiles—they are living creatures. Every time you move, they get hungrier. You must merge them to feed them.
Recommended Age Rating: 6+ (suitable for children with parental guidance for reading/understanding instructions).

How to Play

Swipe up, down, left, or right to move all creatures on the board. On desktop, you can also use the Arrow Keys or W / A / S / D.

When two identical creatures touch, they merge into the next level. Each successful merge gives you points and resets that creature’s hunger.
