Proof & Rise

Drop and merge puzzle

Phones and computers

Proof & Rise is a drop and merge puzzle that plays in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, for one player.

Drop dough into a proofing tin; two bakes of the same size touching fuse into the next, from crumb up to wedding cake. Small dough resting on the warm floor rises a size by itself. The run ends when dough stays above the line near the top, and milestone stamps are kept between runs.

Tips

Only the four smallest bakes rise on the warm floor, so a roll that proofs becomes a bagel, but a bagel will never swell into a bloomer by itself.
Proofing needs 20 seconds in the bottom fifth of the tin and only counts while the dough is nearly still, so a settled base proofs sooner than a jostled one.
A rise scores nothing by itself; points come only from fusing, where each tier doubles from 4 for a dough ball up to 512 for a wedding cake.

What are the bakery stamps?

Seven milestones kept between runs: your first bagel, bloomer, cob loaf and bundt, a wedding cake, and 1,000 and 5,000 points in one run. A bell rings and the stamp's name floats up when you earn one, and the end card shows how many of the seven you hold plus any new ones.

Why did a small dough grow without a merge?

That is the warm floor. Dough resting in the bottom fifth of the tin proofs, and after 20 seconds it swells one size over 0.6 seconds. It applies only to crumb, dough ball, bun and roll, and never while the dough is still moving fast, so a sudden swell cannot launch a stack.
