Suika Game: one jar, eleven fruit, one watermelon
The idea fits in one sentence: two of the same fruit touching turn into the next fruit. A cherry and a cherry make a strawberry, two strawberries make a grape, and so on for eleven steps until two melons make a watermelon. The catch is the jar. Nothing ever leaves it except by merging, and big fruit take up a lot of room.
The dropper only ever hands you the five smallest fruit, cherry to persimmon, so every apple, pear, peach, pineapple, melon and watermelon has to be built. Making a fruit scores its value, from 3 points for a strawberry up to 66 for a watermelon, and two watermelons touching both vanish for another 66. Your best score is saved in the browser, and if you leave mid-game the jar is saved too, so the Continue button picks up where you stopped.

How to score higher in the watermelon game
- Keep the big fruit in one corner: Build your largest fruit along one wall and let the small ones collect on the other side. A tidy jar gives matching fruit a chance to meet.
- Look at the next fruit: The NEXT window tells you what comes after the one you are holding. Plan two drops at a time instead of one.
- Do not bury small fruit: A cherry trapped under a peach is stuck for a long time. Drop small fruit on top of the pile, not into gaps under big ones.
- Chain merges on purpose: A new fruit appears where the two old ones met. Set up pairs so the new fruit lands next to its twin and merges again.

Pro tip: Pineapple is the fruit that ends most good runs: it is big enough to block half the jar. Before you merge two peaches, make sure there is room at the bottom for what comes out.
