Fruit Merge 2048 – Juicy Puzzle

Line up two apples in a column, then swipe upward to bring them together. In our phone-sized test, a left swipe followed by an upward swipe produced a banana and raised the score from 0 to 4. Fruit Merge 2048 – Juicy Puzzle uses a four-by-four grid, with fruit pictures on coloured tiles rather than numbers.

Swipe across the board to move tiles on a touchscreen. On desktop, the left arrow shifted the starting apple and banana towards the left edge; another banana appeared while the score stayed at 0. The tested phone and desktop boards started differently, so the mobile sequence is an example to try when the fruit lines up, rather than a fixed opening solution.

The score, sound toggle and Restart button sit above the grid, with the controls printed underneath. We played the observed moves with sound muted. Restart, the sound button, winning, losing and the highest fruit were not tested. Desktop merging and directions beyond the left arrow also remain unverified.
