About Tinsel Tumble
Tinsel Tumble is a free Christmas merge game you can play online. Move a decoration along the top of the box, let go, and watch it tumble in. When two identical decorations touch, they merge into the next, bigger one, and you score points.
There are ten levels to climb: Jingle Bell, Peppermint, Pinecone, Bauble, Gingerbread Cookie, Snowflake, Wreath, Gift, Snow Globe and finally the Golden Star. Bigger merges score more, and merging two Golden Stars clears them both for a big bonus. A preview bubble shows the next decoration, so you can plan where to drop it.
The box fills up fast. If decorations stay above the dashed line at the top for about three seconds, the game is over. The line turns red and counts down as a warning, so there is always a moment to save the pile. Real physics means every round plays out differently: things roll, bounce and settle in new ways each time.
Drag to aim and lift your finger to drop on a phone, or use a mouse or the keyboard on a computer. Your best score is saved on your device. It is an easy merge drop game to learn, with plenty of room to get better.
