Watermelon Game
How to Play
Basics
To match identical fruits, either drop one fruit onto another of the same kind, or position a fruit so that it causes another to slide and collide with a third fruit of the same type.
Whenever you combine two identical fruits, both fruits vanish and are replaced by a larger fruit.
The game features a total of 12 different fruits. Their sizes are displayed before you drop them. You can initially drop only the first five types of fruits; subsequent ones must be formed through merging.
Creating a watermelon removes it from the board, allowing you to continue playing with the remaining fruits.
The game continues until one of your fruits crosses the fill line.
Levels
The game consists of a continuous single level where play persists until there is no more room to add fruits.
Play Tips
Utilize the edges of the playing field to stabilize fruits that are awkwardly positioned.
Aim to group similar fruits together to facilitate cascading merges.
Since there is no time limit, plan your moves carefully. Avoid making a new move while fruits are still settling unless you need to quickly position a fruit in a soon-to-be-blocked area.
Scoring
Points are awarded for each pair of fruits merged.
Merging two blueberries into a strawberry gives 1 point.
Merging two strawberries into a grape awards 2 points.
Merging two grapes into a lemon awards 3 points.
Merging two lemons into a kiwi awards 4 points.
Merging two kiwis into an apple awards 5 points.
