Ever stumble upon a game so simple yet so addictive that it sneaks into your day every chance it gets? That's exactly how I felt when I discovered the Watermelon Game or (popularly known as Suika, meaning Watermelon in Japanese). It started innocently enough, just a quick try to see what it was all about. And suddenly, I was a full-blown fruit-merging strategist, plotting the perfect spot for every blueberry, dreaming of the glorious watermelon that awaited at the end.
If you've never played it, here's the premise: you start with tiny blueberries that, when paired, merge into strawberries. Keep merging to create bigger and juicier fruits like peaches, plums, and lemons all the way up to the ultimate prize: a giant juicy watermelon. But beware! Let the bowl overflow, and it's game over.

- Hold the left mouse button to move the fruit

A Satisfying Casual Game
Yes, we’re stacking fruits (but not in the fridge after a big grocery haul, before our next big diet. Cuz that's no fun ??) And please, please turn the volume on while playing. There's something oddly satisfying about the sound effects as fruits merge. That little "pop" when two fruits become one is the perfect blend of ASMR and accomplishment. And then there's the strategy: you can't just toss fruits in willy-nilly. You have to plan ahead, keeping space for future merges and positioning fruits to trigger chain reactions.
The game's beauty lies in its simplicity. There are no time limits, no power-ups, just pure, unfiltered fruit-merging joy. It's the kind of game you can play while waiting for your coffee to brew, (or for hours on a lazy Sunday afternoon without realizing where the time went (guilty!).
What Not to Do in the Watermelon Game: My Mistakes and Tips
I'll admit, I wasn't very good at first. My bowl kept filling up with mismatched fruits, and I never got past the coconut stage. But then I learned a crucial tip: keep your bigger fruits in the center of the bowl. It sounds simple, but it changed everything. Suddenly, I was creating chain reactions like a pro, watching oranges turn into coconuts, coconuts into pineapples, and finally... finally.. a honeydew melon appeared. The moment I unlocked the watermelon for the first time felt like I'd won a marathon, haha! What a pride, huh? ??
