Ninth Games

Merge Vtuber

Merge Vtuber is a fan-focused game developed in an impromptu collaboration with UMiLive, available for free play.

About this project

The core mechanism is similar to the Suika Game. The project originated when Ninth Games saw the trend of Suika Game and cage battles and immediately began development.( Development Background )

Although the core mechanism references the Suika Game, we faced several technical challenges that are worth sharing

Features

  • Completed the game and launched on itch.io within two days
  • Implemented a leaderboard without a self-hosted backend
  • Developed a code architecture for quickly swapping content (Suika)

Gameplay

Similar to the Suika Game: Drop characters into the cage. Identical characters eliminate and merge into a larger one. If characters stack up to the top red line without merging, the game ends, and the score is tallied.
