Fruit Drop
Aim each falling fruit and let it drop — matching fruit that touch merge into a bigger one.
How to play
- One fruit at a time drops in from the top of the tray. Drag to move it left or right and let go to drop it straight down; the next fruit is shown above the tray.
- A fruit that has landed stays put. Every matching fruit touching it merges into it — two make the next fruit up, three jump two steps at once.
- Merged fruit grows and takes more room, and a merge can set off another. Once bigger fruit is growing, the smallest stops dropping and leaves the tray.
- The run ends when fruit piles up past the top of the tray.
What it trains
- Planning a move ahead — the next fruit is shown, so each drop can set up the one after
- Fitting shapes: tall, wide and square fruit each need a different kind of gap
- Weighing a safe drop against a bigger merge as the tray fills
Play Fruit Drop, a free fruit drop game, online in your browser: jelly fruit falls into a wooden tray one piece at a time. Drag to aim it, let go to drop it, and matching fruit that touch merge into the next fruit up — three at once jump two steps. Grow blueberries into strawberries, pears and pineapples and on to a whole fruit basket; bigger fruit needs more room, and the run ends when the tray overflows.
