The Nintendo Switch recently welcomed a new game for less than €3 and it’s a real phenomenon everywhere on the web! Impossible to miss. I hope you like fruit?
It sometimes happens that a game comes out of nowhere and is a hit with players, or even more. These are generally titles that take advantage of current trends, create them and/or rely on simple, effective and addictive gameplay mechanics. This is exactly what is happening right now on Nintendo Switch with a little Japanese game qualified as one of the most difficult to ever be released to date, and yet, it is ultra accessible and addictive.
A new ultra addictive game at least on Nintendo Switch
If you often watch Twitch, you must have seen a colorful little game with fruits to stack like Tetris. Her name : Suika Game (Watermelon Game). This is a game only available on Nintendo Switch at the time of writing. There is a version for PC via a browser, but it in no way reflects the experience of the console version.
In Suika Game, there is only one thing to do: explode the scores. The game is presented as a Tetris-like game. The bricks are replaced by round fruits with physics (important point). Our objective is then to associate the fruits together so that they merge to give birth to another larger fruit, thus earning more points. Two cherries become a strawberry, two strawberries become a blackberry… and so on. The ultimate goal is to make a watermelon, THE ultimate fruit.
The problem is that the more fruits you merge, the bigger they become and bounce, throwing the other fruits in all directions. What makes the game so difficult is that you must not exceed the line at the top of the table otherwise you will end the game. Under its colorful mobile game appearance, Suika Game then reveals a very strategic title where you have to calculate your move each time. A super addictive recipe that has already found its audience and is a hit. Suika Game is currently available on Nintendo Switch for less than €3, directly from the eShop.
