\"\"<\/a>Late last year, there was a game that came out on Nintendo Switch that caused a buzz on the Internet, or so they say.\u00a0 Especially in Japan (Suika means watermelon in Japanese), and people were saying it was \u201cJapan\u2019s hardest game\u201d and such.\u00a0 I tried to get a review code for it when it initially came out, but never got a response.\u00a0 But a little while later, Nintendo was offering this game as a free limited time download for subscribers, so I decided to check it out then and write a quick review.\u00a0 I think you can also play this game on some mobile devices and Internet browsers, but it\u2019s reviewed on Switch here.<\/p>\n

Gameplay is super simple.\u00a0 You control a cloud on the top of the screen and can move it left and right.\u00a0 Press the button to drop a piece of fruit into a bin.\u00a0 The game is physics based, so your fruit will roll around in the bin.\u00a0 When two of the same pieces of fruit touch each other, they\u2019ll merge into a bigger kind of fruit and you\u2019ll get points.\u00a0 So cherries become strawberries, which become grapes, and then mangos to oranges to apples, and so on.\u00a0 The biggest piece of fruit is a watermelon, and I think the challenge of the game is getting to that point, or trying to match two watermelons, which makes them disappear entirely and you get huge bonuses.\u00a0 The game is over when a piece of fruit crosses the top line of the bin.\u00a0 You can then record your daily scores and compare them with an online leaderboard.<\/p>\n

I guess the only problem I had with this game is that since it\u2019s physics based, it\u2019s hard to predict sometimes how your fruit will roll.\u00a0 And sometimes they\u2019ll fly out of the bin enough to cause a Game Over, so it\u2019s not as precise of a puzzle game as say, Tetris or whatnot.\u00a0 I also kind of wish there was more than one song that played in the background.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know why the Internet was buzzing about this game for a while, as it just appears like yet another mobile style puzzle game to me.\u00a0 But the fruit has cute faces on them and it\u2019s still a fairly addicting puzzler that\u2019ll keep you entertained for a few hours at most, so if you see this one on sale, you might want to check it out.<\/p>\n
