About the Game

Step into a warm, flour-dusted world where pan dulce takes center stage. Merge adorable conchas, cuernitos, and more to discover delicious new treats in this whimsical puzzle game. With a dash of strategy and a sprinkle of tradition, PancitoMerge blends the joy of classic falling block games with the vibrant spirit of a neighborhood panadería. Great for cozy breaks or climbing the leaderboards, no baking skills required! *Caution - May cause sudden cravings for pan dulce.

Bready, Set, Merge!

The goal is simple: merge matching breads to create higher-level ones, aiming for the highest score possible while unlocking every type of bread in a single run. But be careful, the game ends if the breads stack up to the top of the bag!

A Tasty Twist

Every 5 drops, a customer arrives with a specific bread request. Fulfill their order by clicking/tapping on the requested bread in the bag.

Rooted In Tradition, Baked With Love

PancitoMerge is a love letter to Mexican culture and the joy of pan dulce. From colorful conchas to buttery cuernitos, each bread is inspired by real treats found in local bakeries, celebrating the warmth, tradition, and creativity of Mexican baking.

The idea for the project started when Fáyer (the game director) saw Vanila's pan dulce illustrations, he made a note about making a game that used that art, possibly on a casual puzzle like suika. Then, a whole year after, he found himself with some free time and decided to prototype the concept. He then reached out to Vanila to invite her to collab on it and she really liked the prototype, so they both started working on the web version. The main plan was to make it and if people liked it enough, they would see if it made sense to make it into something bigger. People really liked so here we are working on a bigger version for all of you!
