    70 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of "Watermelon Game" is characterized by its addictive fruit-merging mechanics that balance simplicity and strategy, making it accessible yet engaging for players of all skill levels.

There are also bugs in the game that prevent precise gameplay (e.g., dropping a matching fruit on another, but the one below or beside it gets combined instead), so even getting a high score can be tedious.”
