Suika Game Special Edition Switch XCI Free Download Romslab When a fruit matches one it touches, it combines to make the next fruit in the Circle of Evolution. Once you make two large watermelons, they combine, and then they evaporate, giving you more room in the bag for combining even more fruits and raising your score. You can keep track of your scores from that day, that month, or overall his puzzle game could not be simpler. Capturing the feeling of 2048 meets Puyo-Puyo, you have a box in which you drop fruit. The fruit combines when it touches a sibling sphere. ROMSLAB.COM Best Switch Games

Two strawberries make a grape, two grapes make a tangerine, etc. There’s no logic here other than the fruits get progressively bigger, with the largest being a watermelon (in Japanese, suika). Get points for dropping in the fruit and surviving as long as possible before your screen is completely dominated. There’s no time limit, no competitive mode (save for online leaderboards), and nothing particularly spectacular. Fruit meets fruit, fruit gets bigger, fruit overruns the landscape. But there is a bit of secret sauce to Suika Game, and that’s the inclusion of the physics element.

The goal is to score as many points as possible by creating and merging larger fruits, encouraging replayability.

The fruit will interact with all other pieces on the gameboard, and different degrees of rolling silliness will unfold as they gain mass. While the initial setup of simply racing to get to, say, a pineapple is plausible with minimal collision, the game begins picking up difficulty as more and more space is occupied. There’s a delightful bit of frustration when you see the only thing keeping two peaches from combining is a lone strawberry who slipped through the crack and is just sitting there, smiling benignly as it ruins your whole day all be cute and have little faces is probably a big reason why the game has taken off as hard as it has.

While there are plenty of inexpensive puzzle games across the eShop (and tens of thousands more on the different smartphone storefronts), this one is pleasantly charming without being too saccharine. There’s a variety of different colors, textures and just calming, bright shapes to see, and it appeals to children as well as adults. The poppy music puts you in a upbeat mood as you continue to move the fruit around, and even failure doesn’t feel that bad. After all, the fruit seems fine with it, why shouldn’t you is also a peak example of ‘you get what you pay for’.

Success requires careful placement of fruits to encourage merging and avoid cluttering the container.

For three bucks, it’s a straightforward, score-based puzzle game that’s a decent option for when you’ve got a few minutes to kill. There aren’t any other modes or unlockables, no additional levels, and there’s only one music track that plays on repeat. The highly replayable gameplay still makes this one last for a decent amount of time, but this is about as simplistic and barebones as a puzzle game can get. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course, but those looking for more meat may want to go for something like Baba Is You, one of the numerous Picross games, or another Switch puzzler.

A cutesy art style characterized by bright colors and happy little faces on all the fruits that you drop in. They don’t leave a huge impression, but the visuals at least help to keep repeated attempts pleasant. And though that one music track can get a little grating over longer play sessions, it helps to add to that cuddly vibe the developers were clearly shooting for at least at first glance, honestly seemed like yet another boilerplate mobile puzzle game, with a cute art style and simple menus that look ripe for touch controls, and not too much unlike other cute/super deformed brands you’ve seen before, ala Squishmallows.

Fruits move and bounce around based on realistic physics, adding an element of unpredictability to the game.

Yet in motion, the game does have more of its own charm to it, and each fruit of the evolutionary cycle has its own distinct expression, making each of the pieces look memorable enough that you’ll be able to quickly recognize them the more sessions with Suika that you play. There’s not much in terms of animation besides the cute facial expressions changing now and then, or the physics-related shenanigans, but there really doesn’t need to be. The neat part about Suika Game’s visual style is the potential for lots of cool skins.

As I’m writing this, a Halloween event is wrapping up, which reskins the main watermelon into a big pumpkin, and completely changes the music. These seem to be timed per the seasons and not something you unlock with scoring progress, which is unfortunate, but like with how other games such as Tetris and Puyo come in different presentational skins, I would definitely enjoy seeing more variety added in this regard, since it would help to make the already cute vibe mesh well with a lot more themes. How about a Snowman themed Christmas event, for instance? Elrentaros Wanderings Switch NSP
