[{"data":1,"prerenderedAt":-1},["ShallowReactive",2],{"content-seo:fruitMerge":3},{"description":4,"seo":5,"faq":8},"Fruit Merge is a drop-and-merge physics puzzle. Fruits fall into a glass jar, and whenever two identical fruits touch, they combine into the next fruit up the chain: cherry → strawberry → grape → tangerine → apple → pear → peach → pineapple → melon → watermelon → giant watermelon, 11 stages in all. Only the five smallest (cherry to apple) are handed to you at random, so everything bigger has to be built by merging, and the fruit after the current one is always shown at the top. If any fruit that has already landed pokes above the dashed line at the top of the jar for 2 seconds in a row, the game ends — the line flashes red while that timer is running.\n\nEvery merge scores more the bigger the new fruit is: a strawberry is worth 40 points, an apple 250, a watermelon 1,000 and a giant watermelon 1,210. Merge two giant watermelons and both disappear for a 2,500-point bonus, which also frees up half the jar. Merges can chain: when a new fruit lands next to its twin it merges again straight away, so a single drop can set off several merges in a row. Heavy fruits push lighter ones aside, so it usually pays to keep the big pieces low and against one wall, line up the sizes next to each other, and avoid burying a small fruit under large ones where it can never meet its match.\n\nThe genre took off with Suika Game, a ¥240 Nintendo Switch title from the Japanese company Aladdin X that became a worldwide hit in 2023 after streamers picked it up. Fruit Merge is an unofficial free browser game in the same style; it is not affiliated with Aladdin X.
