Unusual Behind- the-Scenes
The Seaweed-Coded Algorithm
What’s the secret behind Seaside Hearts' fun puzzles? One thing you might not know is that the team has a seaweed algorithm for matching and merging mechanics. Seaweed, when it’s mixed in just the right way, helps stimulate the player’s brain to “merge” faster!
The developers were inspired by a study that showed how seaweed can enhance memory retention. So, every time you make a successful match, imagine a wave of seaweed swishing through your mind.
Unexpected Facts
The Color Green and the Beach
While you’re busy merging on the beach, have you ever noticed how the game is designed to highlight the color green? In fact, it's scientifically proven that the color green has a soothing effect, helping to relax the eyes after long hours of screen time.
So, when you see all those beautiful seaside greens on your screen, know that they’re not just aesthetically pleasing — they’re good for your health too!
Developer’s- Mood
What the Team Ate for Lunch
It might surprise you, but the developers’ lunch plays a crucial role in their creativity! Today, the team had freshly made sushi with a side of seaweed salad. According to them, the more sushi they eat, the better the levels become. Sushi is a symbol of harmony, and it helps the devs create smooth puzzle gameplay.
Their "Merging Sushi" experiment: when you merge sushi rolls in the game, the developers believe it boosts their energy and inspiration to craft the best levels.

Developer’s Diary:
8th Edition – The Great Merge Adventure Edition
In this latest update, we’ve added new mysterious ocean items that will help you unlock hidden treasures in the game! This update was inspired by the team's mid-afternoon brainstorming session, during which they were daydreaming of undersea adventures.
Additionally, we’ve made significant improvements to the color blending mechanic. The new blend feature helps your merged items to “flow” into each other with beautiful gradient effects!
Game Design Philosophy
Inspiration from the Ocean’s Rhythm
The heart of Seaside Hearts comes from the rhythm of the ocean. Much like the ebb and flow of tides, each level in the game has a unique “tempo.” We wanted the puzzles to be just like ocean waves: gently rolling in, presenting new challenges, and leaving you with a sense of accomplishment after every match.
The calming, repetitive nature of merging reflects the serenity and peacefulness of seaside life.

Developer’s Yoga Break
Every developer needs a break, and for the Seaside Hearts team, it’s all about beach yoga. The team swears by their daily downward dog practice to refresh their minds before heading back into the code. It’s rumored that one of the devs can now perform a perfect “sandcastle pose.”
When you play, imagine the devs on their mats, stretching and getting ready to design the next magical puzzle.
