Suika Game, the Japanese “watermelon game” from Aladdin X, turned a jar of smiling fruit into a global obsession. The rules fit in one sentence: drop fruit into a container, and two of a kind merge into the next fruit up, all the way to the watermelon. The catch is physics, because every drop rolls, topples, and buries the pair you were building toward. We wanted that loop without the install, so we built Melon Merge. It runs right here, free, no download, no signup.
Play Melon Merge now
Tap Play, then drag to aim and release to drop. Best with sound on.
How to play
Fruit drops from the top of the jar, smallest tiers first: cherries, strawberries, grapes, lemons, oranges. On a phone, drag to position the fruit and lift your finger to drop it, or just tap where you want it to fall. On desktop, aim with the mouse or arrow keys and drop with space or a click.
When two identical fruits touch, they merge into the next fruit up and pay out points. Merges shove everything around, so one good drop can set off a chain, and chains multiply your score. The run ends when the pile sits above the dashed overflow line, and you will hear a rising warning tone as you get close.
The drop sequence is seeded from today’s date, so everyone plays the same order each day. Your best score and day streak are saved on your device. Nothing leaves your browser.
How it compares to Suika Game
Melon Merge keeps the part of Suika Game that matters: drop-merge physics chaos. Fruits roll off each other, wedge into corners, and collapse in cascades exactly when you least want them to. The eleven-tier ladder from cherry to watermelon is here, chains reward planning ahead, and a run ends the same way, with a pile creeping past the line while you beg a merge to save you.
Our version is its own game, though. The fruit art, the faces, and the physics tuning are original work, not copies of Aladdin X’s designs, and our daily seeded sequence is an addition the original does not have. We also dropped the online rankings. Suika Game’s global leaderboard is a real motivator, and chasing 3,000-plus scores against the world is a big part of its pull. Here your only rival is your own best.
If you find yourself on a fifth run, get the real thing. Suika Game started on Nintendo Switch, where it became one of the eShop’s biggest hits, and official mobile versions followed on Android and iOS. The full game has finer physics, the iconic original fruit designs, and those world rankings, all for a small one-time price.

Frequently asked questions
Can I play the watermelon game in my browser?
Aladdin X does not publish an official browser version of Suika Game. The game on this page, Melon Merge, is our own take on the drop-and-merge loop, and it runs in any modern browser on phone or desktop. For the real Suika Game you need the Switch, Android, or iOS version.
Is this the real Suika Game?
No. Melon Merge is an original game we built, inspired by the mechanics that made Suika Game famous. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Aladdin X in any way. All art, sound, and code in our version are original work, and the download links above point to the official app.
Why do my fruits keep toppling?
Because they are round, and round things roll. Dropping onto the slope of a bigger fruit sends the new one sliding toward the walls, which is how pairs end up separated. The fix is to build a flat floor of big fruit first, keep small fruit near the walls, and drop into gaps rather than onto peaks. When a merge fires, expect everything nearby to shift.
Is it free?
Melon Merge is completely free. There are no ads, no purchases, no accounts, and no data collection. Your best score and day streak live in your browser’s local storage and never get sent anywhere. The official Suika Game is a paid app, but a cheap one, with no ads inside.
Does it work offline?
Once this page has loaded, our game makes no further network requests, so it keeps running through connection drops. For a proper offline game, install Suika Game itself, which plays fully offline after install.
