Watermelon Game
Drop fruit into a box. Two of the same merge into the next size up. Overflow the box and it is over.
Suika Game became a phenomenon in late 2023 after years as an obscure Japanese title, and this is the browser version of the same idea. Fruit drops into a container, identical fruit that touch merge into the next size, and the goal is to reach a watermelon.
It is 2048 with physics, which changes everything. Merged fruit do not disappear into a tidy grid; they roll, settle and shove everything around them, so a merge near the bottom can cascade upward and buy you half the box back. Equally, one careless drop wedges a large fruit against the wall and the run is quietly over five moves before you notice.

Move the mouse to aim, click to drop
Tips
- Keep the big fruit along the bottom and sort by size across the box. A large fruit stranded on top blocks everything beneath it.
- Merges cascade, so setting up two pairs that will collide is worth far more than one merge at a time.
- Drop from directly above the target. Fruit released off-centre rolls, and a rolled fruit lands in the wrong column.
