About Merge Shapes, Not Fruits!: Merge Matching Shapes for Experience and Rewards

Merge Shapes, Not Fruits! is a puzzle game that draws clear inspiration from Suika Watermelon, swapping out fruit for shapes as the objects you combine. The goal is straightforward: drop matching shapes onto the field, merge them together, and work through increasingly challenging levels. Merges earn experience points, and progress unlocks engaging rewards. The game runs on both mobile and computer, so the merging strategy carries across however you choose to play.

A virtual anime girl named Constance accompanies your sessions, offering tips and support along the way. Each set of shapes has a maximum level of 20, and reaching the highest level for a shape earns a star — making star collection a natural measure of how well you've mastered a given set.

How to Play Merge Shapes, Not Fruits!: Combine Shapes to Earn Stars and Rewards

A UFO carries each shape across the game field, tracking your mouse position. Clicking releases the shape at that spot. When two matching shapes land together, they merge, earning experience points. The maximum level for any shape within a set is 20, and hitting that peak awards a star. Progress is saved automatically, so sessions can be paused and resumed freely.

Using Battle Cards

Opening the cards button reveals an inventory of special ability cards. Hitting the use card button either triggers the card's effect immediately or prompts you to select a specific shape to apply it to — an explosion card, for example, requires targeting a shape. Some card actions can be reversed by pressing the CANCEL button that appears; doing so returns the card to your inventory unused.

• Touchscreen tap: Release a shape on mobile devices
• Cards button click: Open the battle card inventory
• Use card button click: Activate a card's special ability, immediately or by selecting a target shape
