Yo, ho, ho and a bottle of rum! Ahoy there me lads and lasses! Your friendly app pirate is here again to take you on another exciting trip around the seven seas. We just got back from another successful booty hunting adventure and not only did we find various treasures, but there were also different kinds of fruits! We picked some and brought them with us on the ship. We tried some of them and they are delicious and fresh! The experience of picking them by ourselves made them even more special. If you hearties are also into fruits, I can share some with you but through a game called Fruit Diary – Merge & Match 3 by Bigcool Games. Batten down the hatches and let me tell you more about it.
It has cute artwork and animation
One of the best things about this game is its artwork. The adorable illustration makes it enjoyable to see and play. The map features a place with plenty of trees and plants and a body of water. Simply looking at it makes you feel relaxed. You’ll also be entertained with animation like when the dog moves in the game window and the special effects when you match objects and complete the levels. The sound effects and music also make it even livelier.
It’s free with optional advertisements
It’s free to download and play this app and the advertisements are not forced since it’s optional to watch them to get boosters or lives. Although the ads don’t pop-up frequently like other games, when you reach higher levels, you might be forced to watch them if you don’t want to spend real money for in-app purchases. The higher levels are extremely difficult, some of them feel impossible to solve without using several boosters. You will easily run out of lives if you don’t have enough boosters, and you have to wait to replenish your lives, so you will get stuck with your progress. Your choice is to wait and keep trying, watch advertisements or make an in-app purchase.
There are hundreds of levels you can play offline
The game is generally fun with hundreds of levels that await you. There are various objects to see and obstacles to face. You can also play levels that you have already unlocked even while offline. But as mentioned, the higher levels can be extremely difficult, which could cause frustrations.
The pros
It’s free with several fun and challenging levels. It has adorable illustrations and animation with lively music and sound effects. The advertisements are optional to watch and you can also play offline.
The cons
Some of the higher levels feel impossible to solve without making an in-app purchase, which makes it frustrating. This can also slow down your progress.
The verdict
We recommend Fruit Diary – Merge & Match 3 for those looking for an alternative match 3 puzzle game. It has bright and colorful images that are adorable with exciting music and animation that give to the game. There are several levels that await you giving you hours of gameplay. Watching the advertisements is optional, although you might feel forced to do so to get more lives and boosters, which you would need in higher levels.
