01
Make your move
Swipe on the board or use the arrow keys or WASD. Every fruit slides as far as it can in the direction you choose.
HOW TO PLAY
Learn how to grow your orchard.
Learn the rules, fruit chain, assists, scoring and strategy behind Fruit Merge.
JUST ONE MORE MOVE
A little room to grow.
Fruit Merge starts with a handful of tiny fruit and one simple idea: slide matching fruit together and see how far your orchard can grow.
THE BASICS
Three steps. That’s really it.
The rules are simple enough to learn in a minute. The challenge is finding enough space to keep growing.
02
Meet your match
Two identical fruit that collide merge into the next fruit. Each tile can merge only once during a move.
03
Keep growing
Build through the ordinary fruit chain, reach Golden Fruit, and then enter the rare Golden Chain all the way to the Harvest Star.
16 FRUIT TIERS
Every fruit has its moment.
Merge two identical fruit to create the next one. Fruit values double at every tier, and a merge awards the value of the fruit you create.

THE GOLDEN CHAIN
Golden Fruit is no longer the end.
Merge two Golden Fruits to create a Golden Seed. From there, grow a Golden Sapling, then a Golden Tree, discover the Orchard Heart, and finally create the Harvest Star — the 65,536-value final tier.
Most valid moves add a new Cherry.
A freshly spawned Strawberry does not count as a merge.
A tile can merge only once during each move.
The Harvest Star is the end of the current chain.
A LITTLE STRATEGY
Pick a corner. Make a plan.
Fruit Merge rewards patience more than frantic swiping. Creating space is often more valuable than making the first available merge.
Anchor your largest fruit
Keep your highest-value fruit in one corner where possible. Build progressively smaller fruit beside it instead of allowing your strongest tiles to drift around the board.
Protect empty spaces
Every valid move introduces another fruit. Open cells are therefore valuable. Avoid filling the board with isolated fruit that cannot easily find a matching partner.
Think one move ahead
Don't look only at the merge in front of you. Consider where the resulting fruit will land and whether it creates the next useful pair.
COMBOS
One move can do a lot.
If one swipe creates several merges, Fruit Merge records a combo. Combos contribute to statistics and achievements, but they do not multiply the normal score awarded by each merge.
Four Cherries lined up correctly, for example, can become two Strawberries in a single move.
A LITTLE HELP
A full board doesn’t have to be the end.
Every new game includes one of each assist. They can rescue a difficult board, but using any assist makes that run an assisted game.
1 PER GAME
Shuffle
Rearranges the fruit currently on the board. Useful when the right fruit are present but trapped in awkward positions.
1 PER GAME
Prune
Remove one Cherry or Strawberry of your choice to create a little breathing room.
1 PER GAME
Orchard Sweep
Removes every Cherry and Strawberry currently on the board in one powerful clean-up.
WHEN THE BOARD FILLS
No moves left? You may still have a way out.
A game normally ends when no legal move remains. If you still have a usable Shuffle, Prune or Orchard Sweep, Fruit Merge will offer the available rescue options before ending the run.
You can use one and continue, or choose to finish the game and record your harvest.
BUILT TO FEEL INSTANT
Your moves happen in the browser.
Fruit Merge doesn't send every swipe to the server before allowing you to continue. Your moves, merges and fruit spawns happen immediately on your device.
When the game ends, Fruit Merge submits a compact replay. The server independently recreates the game before recording the verified score, statistics and achievements.
If your internet connection drops during a game, you can keep playing locally and submit the completed harvest once the connection returns.
MORE THAN ONE HIGH SCORE
Every harvest leaves a record.
Fruit Merge tracks much more than the biggest number you have ever made.
Your combined score across all of your games.
Your highest score without using an assist.
Your highest score from a game where an assist was used.
Join one of ten fruit teams, from Cherry through Dragon Fruit, and contribute to its standing.
MAKE IT YOURS
Sound, motion and controls are up to you.
Open Settings to adjust sound effects, volume, movement preferences and control hints.
Restart begins a fresh board without removing your lifetime records. Your new game receives one Shuffle, one Prune and one Orchard Sweep.
Delete All Progress is much more substantial: after confirmation it clears stored gameplay history, statistics and achievements while preserving your player identity.
YOUR ORCHARD IS WAITING
How far can you grow?
Start with a Cherry. Make some room. And see whether you can reach the Harvest Star.
