Suika is the puzzle reward that retains on giving. The viral Watermelon Sport that launched a thousand non-Change-exclusive clones has added one other promising providing to its line-up of Suika-like twists on the easy fruit-merging sport.
Developer Zankai’s Suika Shapes swaps out fruit for the polygonal comforts of squares, hexagons, pentagons and extra awkward shapes equivalent to zig-zagging Tetrimino-like L, W and T-pieces. There are over 19 totally different shapes in all, getting as wild as teardrops, hearts (added for Valentine’s Day) and double diamonds.
The goal is in any other case the identical, as two shapes of the identical color will be a part of collectively into a much bigger piece, making it trickier to cram all of your items into the body with out spilling excessive and dropping. Handle to merge sufficient shapes collectively, although, and also you’ll obtain the perfection of constructing a watermelon.
Suika Shapes mixes up the fundamental mode with modifiers that mean you can swap your present form with no matter’s subsequent within the queue – like holding a chunk in Tetris – making the items further slippery or bouncy, reducing gravity, and letting you cost up the form earlier than you drop it to fireplace it with further power into the body.

The modifiers be a part of 5 variant modes on high of the usual suika, together with a race in opposition to a rising flooring, remodeling shapes, a slower enhance in measurement for marathon video games, a map with a spinning wheel within the center and a stage with awkward pins that come out every time you drop a form.
Better of all, in my view, is the addition of each on-line and native multiplayer co-op, letting two gamers drop shapes in every half of a super-sized body.
Suika Shapes packs loads onto the fundamental Watermelon Sport, and solely prices £3 or so over on Steam for those who’re searching for a brand new option to lose numerous hours once more – this time, with a buddy!
