Let's talk about the core conclusion first: This game is not something that can be passed efficiently by just three consecutive rounds without thinking. The more fruits you connect, the higher your income will be. This determines that you must prioritize making long strings instead of rushing to eliminate the fun. There is a big difference between the number of elimination waves caused by four consecutive rounds and five consecutive rounds, especially in the later stages. The profit of three consecutive rounds can only be regarded as the bottom operation.
The first thing to do at the start of the game is not to mess around, but first take a look at the distribution of fruits on the board. If a certain type of fruit has been densely connected into a line, prioritize this line, because it naturally has the potential for four or even five consecutive runs. A slight adjustment of one or two positions can trigger an explosion elimination, which is worth your accumulation of four and three consecutive runs.
Then there's step management. The assigned number for each level is fixed, all you need to do is plan the overall clearing sequence. It is recommended to push from the edge of the plate to the center to avoid residual fruit getting stuck in the corners and disrupting the rhythm. The central area is more convenient for planning long series of connections, especially after the refresh is placed, it is easy to form a natural coordination. This step can save you nearly 20 seconds.
Let me mention another point that is easily overlooked: Don't make continuous low-yield moves just because you are pursuing a long-term connection. Distinguish between your current progress and the number of steps remaining. If the number of targets has exceeded half and the number of steps takes priority, then it is appropriate to give up some inefficient moves and switch to two-line advancement. Try to meet the needs of two fruit categories with one move. This trade-off is critical and directly determines whether your last few numbers have closing time.
There is also a micro-manipulation detail: there is a short animation when the fruit is placed, so try not to connect in advance before it settles. Sometimes you think you can achieve five consecutive locks, but in fact, only three consecutive locks are completed, which is a waste of one operation. Wait until it is completely stable before taking action, and the success rate will increase by at least 30%.
Finally, personal rhythm reference: the first 50% progress is controlled within 40% of the total time, and the middle section uses chain elimination to advance quickly. In the final stage, if the remaining fruits are too scattered, don't pursue high scores, just find the shortest path to defeat them one by one. It is better to gather the quantity first to advance to the next level than anything else. After all, this is a casual game with a lot of levels. Five more seconds at the beginning will give you an extra chance to breathe later.
This game is actually pretty good. I thought it was just a simple game, but the actual strategy is deeper than I thought. It's suitable for completing five or six levels in a spare time. Let's try this idea first, and we'll break down the levels we can't pass together.
