**The first merge cafe game tip is to watch the price: in [Sconeloop](https://yesthisgame.com/sconeloop/) the coffee button showed 50 at the start and 85 after five buys, the same in all three of our runs.** The coin counter went from 10k to 9.6K over those five buys.

## How the game works

Sconeloop is a merge game in a small cafe. Customers sit at yellow tables with speech bubbles showing cups. At the bottom is a tray of six plates, a basket button and a coffee button with a price on it. A buy puts a cup on a plate under a cover; clicking the plate lifts the cover, and dragging one cup onto a matching cup merges them into a better one. A level badge, a coin counter and a sound button sit in the corners.

## What we measured

We played in a test browser at 1280 by 800 pixels. In each run we pressed the coffee button five times, clicked all six plates to lift the covers, then dragged one cup onto a matching cup and repeated that once more. We made three runs and read the coin counter and the button price off the screen.

*Three runs, same steps, same results*

| What we looked at | At the start | After five buys |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Coffee button price | 50 | 85 |
| Coin counter | 10k | 9.6K |

Three runs in one test browser; the counter rounds its display, so the exact coin cost of each buy is not shown. We did not serve a customer or reach a new level, so we cannot say what those do.

After the covers lifted, five of the six plates held a green coffee cup. The first merge turned two cups into a tea cup with a red drink, and a second merge gave a second tea cup, in all three runs.

## What you see on screen

The cafe fills the top of the screen, with a counter of donuts, yellow tables and customers whose bubbles show cups. A pointing hand shows the first moves. The tray below holds the plates, the basket button and the coffee button.

## 4 tips that follow from the numbers
