An idle merge game with an auto-battler bolted to it, and the bolt holds. Merge Beast Arena starts you with a mouse you tap for coins, and dragging two identical animals together makes the next one up a food chain nineteen links long — rabbit, fox, wolf, bear, gorilla, lion, elephant, shark, whale, T-Rex, dragon — each visibly bigger and far stronger than the last. Tapping fast builds a combo up to five times the payout, and merging two dragons wakes a tier-twenty magma boss that removes anything it touches.
