Description:
"Merge Flow" sounds like an intriguing puzzle game! Here's a clearer explanation of how it works based on your description:

### **Game Overview**

* **Board Setup:** The game consists of a 5x7 grid of number squares. Each square contains a number.
* **Operators:** There are a set of "n +/-" operators available at the bottom of the screen.
* **Objective:** The goal is to use these operators to adjust the numbers in the squares (either increasing or decreasing them by "n"), trying to combine matching numbers into a single higher number.
* **Combining Numbers:** When two squares have the same number, they will combine into a single square with the number increased by 1 (e.g., two "2"s will merge to form a "3").
* **Scoring:** Players gain points when they successfully combine numbers on the board.
* **End Condition:** The game ends when all the operators are used, and no more moves can be made.

### **Game Mechanics Breakdown**

1. **Grid:** A 5x7 grid, which means there are 35 squares in total.
2. **Operators:** The "+" or "-" operators allow you to adjust a number square by either increasing or decreasing it by "n." For example, if "n" is 1, you can add 1 or subtract 1 from a selected square.
3. **Merging Numbers:**

* When two squares have the same number, they merge into a new square with a value +1 (e.g., two "3"s become one "4").
* Players continue merging as long as possible, ideally combining higher numbers for better scores.
4. **End of Round:** The round ends when all operators are used up. The game ends when no further moves can be made, either because there are no matching numbers or because operators have been exhausted.

### **Strategy Tips**

* **Plan Your Moves:** Since the number of operators is limited, it’s important to plan ahead to make sure you're combining the highest possible numbers and scoring efficiently.
* **Operator Management:** Choose wisely when to use the "+" and "-" operators. Using them on the right numbers at the right time can create opportunities for merges, while wasting them on unhelpful squares may result in a lower score.
* **Combining Numbers Early:** Focus on combining smaller numbers early to free up space and make way for larger numbers.

### **Updated Game Description: "Merge Flow"**

---

**Game Overview:**

* **Game Board:** The game board consists of a 5x7 grid, so there are 35 squares in total. Each square contains a number.
* **Operators:** Below the board are a set of "n +/-" operators that can be used to adjust the number in any square.
* **Objective:** Your goal is to click on a square on the board, then use the operators to either increase or decrease the number inside that square by "n".
* **Combining Numbers:** When two squares on the board contain the same number, they will combine into a single square with the number increased by 1.
* **Scoring & Leveling Up:** The more numbers you combine, the higher your score. Successfully combining higher numbers allows you to level up in the game.

### **Game Mechanics:**

1. **Grid Interaction:**

* You click on a square (a number) on the 5x7 grid to select it.
* Use the operators (located at the bottom of the screen) to either add or subtract "n" from that square's number.
* Once you apply the operator, the number in the square will change accordingly.

2. **Merging Numbers:**

* When two squares have the same number, they will **automatically combine** to form a new square with the value +1 (e.g., two "3"s will merge to become a "4").
* You can keep merging numbers as long as possible, which increases your score. Combining higher numbers (like a "5" merging into a "6") will earn more points.

3. **Operators:**

* The "n +/-" operators allow you to adjust the numbers.
* For example, if "n" is 1, you can either add 1 or subtract 1 from a square's number.
* The operators are limited, and once you run out, the round ends.

4. **Leveling Up:**

* The more successful merges and combinations you make, the higher your score.
* When you reach certain score thresholds, you level up, unlocking new challenges or more complex grids to play on.

5. **End of Round:**

* The round ends when you run out of available operators, or if no further merges can be made.

### **Key Features:**

* **Interactive:** The player interacts with the grid by clicking on squares and applying operators to change the numbers.
* **Strategic Merging:** The key to success is carefully choosing when to use the operators to create opportunities for number merges.
* **Score & Progression:** Higher merges lead to higher scores, and leveling up provides additional rewards or new game mechanics.
* **Operator Management:** The limited number of operators adds an extra layer of challenge, forcing players to think strategically.

### **Example of Gameplay:**

1. You start with a grid filled with random numbers (let’s say "2", "3", "5", etc.).
2. You click on a square that contains a "3" and use an operator to **add 1** (now that square becomes a "4").
3. You notice another square with a "4", so you **combine** them into a "5".
4. Your score increases as you make these moves and merge more numbers, aiming to get the highest number on the board.
5. After using all the operators, the round ends, and you’re awarded a score based on your progress. If you've merged higher numbers, you level up!
