It’s been a while since I’ve installed any new games on my iPhone or iPad, so I’m sticking with the usual suspects: Vampire Survivors and Battle for Polytopia. But it looks like there’s a new addictive casual game and I have to admit: it’s going to stay permanently in my iOS 17 games folder.
The game is called “Watermelon Game: Monkey Land”, and it’s free. His game system is simple, it can be learned in a single game and he made a server appreciate it in two games. It is, for lack of a word that better describes it, a vice.
How to install “Watermelon Game: Monkey Land” on your iPhone
“Watermelon Game” is installed like any other iPhone application: from the App Store, where can be downloaded for free. Its interface is optimized for iPhone and iPad, but not for macOS or tvOS. And that’s a shame, because the gameplay is very adapted to tvOS.
Its developer, Han Song Ey Jo, offers the game for free but with a small advertisement at the bottom of the screen and a few advertisements between games. If you want to remove these advertisements you must go through an in-app purchase of 1.99 dollarsit’s not a bad price if you end up becoming a fan.

Two blueberries make a cherry, two cherries make bananas, two bananas make a tomato…
The game mechanics are simple. You start from an empty container into which fruits of different sizes fall, and When you put two identical fruits together, they become the next larger fruit.. From there, care must be taken that the container does not fill up, ensuring that identical fruits end up together so that they take up less space.
The strategy is not only to successfully gather the fruits, but also to drop them so that they move these fruits which can then cancel each other out and generate a larger one. This is something that we learn “the hard way” in the first game, and that we do more consciously in the second.
The gameplay reminds me of games like 2048, which involved doing something very similar but adding two identical numbers to create different tiles. The more fruits you managed to collect, the higher score you will get at the end of the game..
The game options are not complicated: you can change the language (you can play in Spanish) or mute the background music, which we recommend if you don’t want to hum the tune for hours.
