Settlo is a daily chain-drop puzzle in the browser. Everyone gets the same 40-drop sequence each day, so scores compare directly. You tap a column to drop each creature; touching creatures of the same tier collapse into the next tier up, and chains of merges pay three times per depth. At the end you share an emoji grid that gives nothing away.
About Settlo
Settlo, by Ashimo Games, is a chain-drop puzzle played in the browser on itch.io and as a Telegram mini app. The board has six columns. Each turn a small creature arrives, and you tap the column it should fall into. When creatures of the same tier touch, they collapse into one creature of the next tier, which can touch another match and set off a chain. Chains pay three times per depth, so the score comes from planning merges that trigger each other rather than from single clears.
The Daily mode builds its board from the date, so every player gets the exact same sequence of 40 drops. A Next strip shows the three creatures to come and a Hold slot lets you keep one back, which makes each day's run a planning puzzle with a known order. The result is shared as a coloured emoji grid in the style of word puzzle results, without spoiling the board. The maker says nothing you unlock changes the daily board, your score or the grid; every reward is a cosmetic board theme.
Endless mode gives unlimited practice on a random board, and a Codex records the highest of the 20 creature tiers you have reached. The game uses only shapes and colours, so no reading is needed.
Settlo is free with no install and no sign-up. In Telegram the same daily is played with cloud saves that keep your streak across devices, an emoji duel and an invite button; there an optional ad or a Telegram Stars purchase unlocks a cosmetic theme. It suits players of drop-and-merge games who want one short, comparable run a day.
How to play Settlo
- Open Settlo on itch.io (on a phone, press Run game) and keep the Daily mode selected.
- Look at the Next strip to see the next three creatures.
- Tap a column to drop the current creature into it, or press Hold to keep it for later.
- Drop creatures so that matching tiers touch: they collapse into one creature of the next tier.
- Line merges up so that each new creature touches another match and sets off a chain, which pays three times per depth.
- Use all 40 drops, then press Emoji result to copy your grid and compare it with others.

Tips
- Plan with the Next strip: three pieces ahead is enough to set up a two- or three-step chain.
- Use Hold for a creature that would break a stack you are building toward a merge.
- Keep the top row clear; columns fill quickly once higher tiers stop merging.
- Practise in Endless mode, since the daily board is fixed for the day.
- Unlocks are cosmetic only, so there is no need to grind before playing the daily.
