Galaxy Mix goes free-to-play so you can merge planets and reach that Black Hole at your leisure

• Pixel-art visuals and adorable planets
• Multiple game modes to suit your fancy
• Now free-to-play with in-app purchases

Seele Games is letting you merge planets for free as Galaxy Mix goes free-to-play on iOS - now, you can mix and merge to your heart's content even on your Apple Watch. While Suika-esque puzzlers might seem like a dime a dozen, this one adds a nostalgic twist in that it harkens back to the golden age of arcades with plenty of Pac-Man vibes.

In Galaxy Mix, you can look forward to dishing out devastating bombs and dropping crazy combos to rack up those points - you can even use the "Shake It" feature to literally shake things up with every new level. It also claims to be the "hardest watermelon game in the world" - it seems that there's this elusive Black Hole level that only 0.1% of the most worthy players have seen.

If you're up for a good challenge, that alone should tickle your competitive nature. But if, like me, the idea of going at your own pace is more appealing to you, then you can take your pick from the other modes and even personalise your board skins just because.

There's something about stringing together random groups of threes and getting rewarded with shiny sparkles, isn't there? If you're on the hunt for something similar, why not take a look at our list of the best match-3 games on iOS to get your fill?
