Complete data
Two identical fruits create one fruit from the next level. The score shown below is awarded when that new fruit is created. The base-fruit requirement shows how many Cherries are needed for one fruit at that level in a perfect theoretical chain.

Level-by-level guide

Starting level
Small and easy to place, but isolated Cherries can become trapped beneath larger fruits.

Created by 2 Cherries
Useful for early chain merges and still compact enough to fit into small gaps.

Created by 2 Strawberries
Compact and mobile, making it a useful connector between early merge groups.

Created by 2 Grapes
The first level where poor placement noticeably reduces available board space.

Created by 2 Oranges
Needs a clearer landing area. Avoid leaving one alone in the center where it can block later drops.

Created by 2 Apples
A useful foundation fruit when placed low and near a side, but large enough to trap smaller fruit.

Created by 2 Peaches
Occupies significant horizontal space. Create it on a stable low section, not near the danger line.

Created by 2 Pineapples
A large late-game fruit that is usually safer near the side of a low board with space around it.

Created by 2 Watermelons
Requires substantial room. Do not create it below a cluttered tower where it cannot settle.

Created by 2 Grapefruits
Difficult to reposition after creation. Plan its final location before completing the merge.

Created by 2 Melons
The final evolution level. Reaching it requires long-term board control and enough room for two Melons to meet.
Understanding the progression
Each level requires twice as many base Cherries as the level before it.
Higher-level fruits use more physical space and are harder to move after they settle.
The merge value doubles at every level, rewarding successful long chains.

A perfect theoretical chain requires 1,024 Cherries to create one Dragon Fruit.
Creating Dragon Fruit gives the highest single merge value: 5,120 points.
Higher-level fruits have larger logical radii, occupy more space, and can block smaller fruits or the central landing lane.
No. Dragon Fruit is the final level in the current evolution chain.
Use the evolution order to plan future merges, protect enough board space, and build toward the highest fruit level.
