Vicious Advertisements Ruined the Game
I have been playing this game for well over a year, as it’s the only mobile game that I am willing to play. However, there has been a recent update that has persuaded me to uninstall it for good.
I understand the need for advertisements on a free game, and they have never been an issue until recently. That was until the developer approved one type of advertisement that automatically redirects you to a website that convinced you that your device is “infected with viruses”. There’s no way to prevent this from happening and it will happen even if you aren’t touching the screen. But even worse is the advertisement that blasts a piercing beeping noise at full volume, EVEN WHEN THE APP IS OPEN IN THE BACKGROUND. This advertisement also manages to blare at full volume even when the audio for the game is disabled altogether.
The app has become unusable as a result, and these advertisements are intolerable. Unless these ads are removed from the platform, I will not be coming back and I advise you do the same. Do better.

Thank you for your feedback; it made me aware that the issue is still occurring. I’ve actually submitted many updates to fix gameplay bugs and add new features, but unfortunately, those updates were rejected. I’m still working hard to create new content and balance the ads and overall experience. If you’re interested in testing the beta version, feel free to contact me at wei@lazycell.com.
This game cured my depression
Once upon a time, I was a very sad chum with very little friends. I pretty much just went to school and lied on the couch. Until one day, my dog showed me a wonderful game called “I want Watermelon”. I immediately downloaded it (my dog being my best friend), and instantly LOVED it. It was all I did! For hours and hours I’d play this game, yet I’d never get a watermelon! Until one hot summer day and my 4,986th day of playing the game, I finally connected the ever so wonderful and beautiful two coconuts. Right as a watermelon appeared on my screen, horns from watermelon heaven were playing, I was glowing and floating, and a big watermelon gifted me with a nice hug and a welcome to watermelon heaven. I was so happy, almost overjoyed for the rest of my life!! For the rest of my life as I knew it, I’d be playing and loving this game.

How this game changed my life
I downloaded "I Want Watermelon" on a whim, expecting just another casual puzzle game. Little did I know, it would change my life in unimaginable ways. It all started during a particularly long car ride. Hours stretched endlessly on the road, and boredom began to set in. I needed something to pass the time, so I opened "I Want Watermelon." The simple yet addictive mechanics of combining fruits quickly drew me in. Each successful merge brought me closer to creating the godly watermelon. As I played, the journey seemed to fly by. The game's vibrant graphics and satisfying gameplay turned a tedious trip into an enjoyable adventure. The sense of achievement I felt with each perfect watermelon made the hours on the road disappear. But the impact of "I Want Watermelon" didn't end with that car ride. I found myself playing it during any spare moment, feeling a sense of relaxation and joy. Amongst the community of players, I started to gain recognition. My high scores and achievements made me a legend, and soon I was hailed as a god among players. Sharing my story, I inspired others to find joy and entertainment in this incredible game. "I Want Watermelon" is not just a game; it's a beacon of fun and engagement. If you're looking for a game that can turn mundane moments into unforgettable experiences, this is it. Five stars are not enough to express my gratitude for the joy and excitement it brought into my life.

Thank you for your fantastic review! Have fun!
Really addicting to my family
It all started out when I asked my dad if we can get “I Want Watermelon” but my dad said not right now because he was cleaning my house, so then I said ok when your done and he said “ok” so 30 mins later he was done and I forgot to ask him to get it and he forgot that I wanted the game. So about 2 days late my sister wanted to get it and he wasn’t doing anything except looking on Facebook (Social Media) and so my sister got it, then I told her that I wanted to get it first and I got a turn. SoI have 2 devices that have “I want Watermelon” and me and my dad played it together so I had my phone and my dad had my iPad. So November 15th 2023 my dad got I want watermelon on his phone so he could get it and you know play it, so ever since when my dad has free time he play the game 😂I mean it is a fun game just he plays it WAY more than me. So last week my cousins came over and my dad asked me to teach my cousins how to play, so I did and then they got it on there phone and they played it all the time before they left (They live in Texas and I live in California) and when they were here they played all the time. So yeah…. I dont play this game very often but my dad does and so yeah.. my dAds review is probably like a 9/10 or something and mine is 6/10. Thanks!

watermelon saved my dog
the day started just like any other. i was out walking my dog, kat, when she got distracted by a passing car, she ran towards it and got hit. i rushed over to my dying dog, laying in the middle of the road. i was overcome by a wide range of emotions. it was too much to deal with as i knelt over kat. i subconsciously pulled out my phone and opened I Want Watermelon. i started dropping those fruits like it was the only thing holding me together. but then a miracle happened. the soothing music, the essence of the fruit, and the sheer power of me finally getting that beloved watermelon, revived my dog. she jumped up, fully healed, and ran towards the side of the road with me. i can never thank I Want Watermelon enough for saving me and kats life. please download this app it’s a savior!!

Very fun but GLITCHES
The app is very fun and it’s a good concept that is similar to a 2048 styled game but it a different way (it is suika for the App Store though). Anyways, there are three main parts of the game that need to be fixed that I’ve experienced. First of all is when you’ve reached the top of the screen with the fruit. It’s gotten better but only a bit. There are still times where fruit is rolling and it ends the game or where I take a screenshot and see the fruit isn’t actually at the top line (but probably it’s hitbox is) and the game ends. Secondly, there have been many times where a larger fruit gets created and half of it stays off screen, although sometimes it’s helpful, sometimes it can be very difficult and is clearly a glitch. Lastly is something I’ve only experienced twice. When I’m playing a long game and go back into the game multiple times, sometimes a watermelon that I just got and disappeared reappears. I am currently in a game and there’s a large watermelon that acts just like any other fruit but leaves little of the screen for me to create another, what happens when I get two watermelon?? (I’ve never been able to after the glitch) This glitch I was surprised by but there should be something it auto detects for watermelons at the beginning of each time you open the app to make sure it gets rid of it.

Cute, Clever But Slightly Flawed
This game has great graphics. The fruit are large enough that it doesn’t cause eye strain- big bonus for most of us. If you line the items up properly and they roll into place then it’s a slam dunk. However, the fruit will sometimes have a mind of its own. It should, mathematically, roll into a spot and when the same fruit touches, it should match. If the outline of the fruit is touching slightly - it should work but it doesn’t. They have to basically land on one another or collide. I’d recommend the development be a little more fair and change this. However, it’s a great game and the best part is that it isn’t timed. I’m kinda hooked. Download it! Since it’s new, I’m confident that it’ll only get better.

I ❤️ watermelon🍉
My life felt empty. Like it was nothing but pitiful and sad. I had no achievements. I had no aspirations. I had no fears. I had no hope. I couldn’t bare the regret I brought upon myself from just sitting, scrolling. It seemed I had no future. It seemed there was no end to my madness. My hog loved watermelon. My camel loved watermelon too. It was as if they were telling me something but I couldn’t figure it out. Finally I stared at the stars and something fell from the sky! I picked it up and went into the light. It was a star! But it had a note on it. I unfolded the note and looked at it. Finally, in that moment, I felt complete joy. It said I Want Watermelon. I searched EVERYWHERE to find what this thing was. Finally, I found it. POP! The grapes collided and popped together. BOOM! A lime! To my astonishment, I couldn’t stop. It was a feeling I will never forget. The void in my heart now had been filled, with a watermelon. I tried and tried for a watermelon! I finally got one. That was the day I found pure joy. Ok well my turtle died so wish my bird good luck on the Kentucky derby!

Super fun game! But...
I absolutely love this game. It's so fun! It's also super addicting. The only problem is the line at the top. It's really the only problem for me (I actually saw a review that was similar to mine). When I get a shaker, sometimes the fruits get stuck at the top, above the line, and nothing happens. Other times, it will decide to end the round. I think it might be because one of the fruits was touching the line, even though they were already above it. But it's really frustrating, because the other fruits at the bottom that aren't above the line are wayyyyyy down there, and nowhere near the line. The only other thing will be when my fruits are starting to get piled, and they're almost touching the line, if I drop a fruit and it starts to role, sometimes it touches the line when it drops, but if the line would let the fruit finish moving it wouldn't have ended the round, but for some reason the round ends before the fruit can even finish rolling. So that's also very frustrating. But otherwise, it's one of my favorite games ever, given I've rated it five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ there aren't any ads unless you tap on a shaker, which is optional. The fruit merges are super satisfying, and like is said, addicting. 😂 Watermelons is definitely one of my go to games for car rides, and even just hanging out at home.

I wanted to like this game
I really wanted to like this game, I kept playing it trying to "get it", merge games always have a real satisfying aspect to them. But the game seems determined to screw you over and one wrong bounce and your entire 20 minutes of careful gameplay is ruined with no way to recover because some little fruit wedged between the big boys you were trying to merge, or the game decides you need exactly every fruit besides the one you were carefully setting up for, for 20 fruit in a row, until the towers you build on the sides collapse over the hole you were setting up....then it gives you the fruit you wanted, too late to do anything with it.
If there was a way to actually recover it'd be different, but once your big fruits are wedged apart - especially up at the pineapple size range - there's no way to fix it. Especially the pineapple since they aren't smooth and don't slide as easily. You end up with a perfect honeycomb of pineapple wedged apart on stupid purple fruits, or limes, or whatever, piling directly to your death.
Super frustrating.

10/10
Guys this game is so addictive, I’ve played it since it came out. I haven’t seen my family in a while, this game is so fun that i don’t even remember their faces. This game is like a drug to me. My school banned this game because of how many people we’re desperately playing this game over and over. Our school had to close down because to many people were playing this game and fighting over who would get the watermelon first. They might be banning it in our city. Today there was three murders because people wanted to get that watermelon. I haven’t changed my clothes since December 15. I only wear red and green to resemble the patriotic game. So if you really want a fun game to play. DOWNLOAD THIS GAME. This took too long. I’m gonna go play my watermelon game. ( this is over exaggerated to cause effect, but seriously download the app)

Fun but needs fixing
This game is overall pretty fun and addicting, but I’m writing specifically because I think the top line needs to have a better system for ending your game. It immediately ends your game when a fruit touches it, even if the fruit is clearly still rolling into place. I just had my best game ever ended on an even weirder glitch. I was on one of the five second shaking bonuses you get for watching an ad, and despite not resting on anything and about to fall way down, one fruit was still in midair when the shake ended and because it was touching the line, my high score game ended. This was very frustrating. I think there should be a change to the line, either to add a timer so fruit that are about to fall have time to fall, or a sensor that allows fruit still in motion to come to a complete stop before ending the game. I’m still very mad about my high score game ending. Otherwise, fun game, I appreciate that ads are optional and come with a shake, and it’s very addicting. Just PLEASE fix the line!

Thanks for your review! Sorry to hear that you are having these issues. I'm still improving this game. I actually tried to fixing these issues and submitted it to the App Store months ago, but Apple hasn't approved the update yet.
I hate this fracking game
so my sister texted me yesterday saying “bro you have to get the watermelon game, I gotta put you on”. I was so confused, but I didn’t think much of it because she is adopted and autistic so I can’t make fun of the things she says. However, today my roomate practically forced me to download the game when she chained me to my bed and wacked me across the head with a phat piece of watermelon until I practically went unconscious. When I woke up, I saw stars, and encountered an awakening that I needed to be resurrected as a girl who plays the watermelon game. I cannot get the watermelon but I feel like a new woman. Thank you god because this is all thanks to my adopted sister!

my dad stopped beating me every night
I had no idea when I downloaded the game 'I Want Watermelon', my life would change! It was a simple concept, chasing after elusive watermelons, but it quickly turned into an obsession. The graphics are vibrant, the gameplay is engaging, and the watermelons... oh, the watermelons! They're teasingly out of reach, adding to the thrill. It was so immersive that I found myself reaching out to grab the virtual watermelons! After marathon sessions, I ended up needing a break to rest my eyes. It was a wake-up call to balance my time. 'I Want Watermelon' is not just a game, it's a wild, energy-consuming, eye-opening adventure that will leave you thirsting for more!

I LOVE WATERMELONS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
First of all I freaking love this game. My cousin turned me to it and forever from then I have loved this game! The ONLY problem. When I read these reviews I laugh. Only ONE WATERMELON? Pathetic! I my friends have gotten TWO WATERMELONS! I LIVE IN WATERMELON HEAVEN. Let me recall the first time I hath connected the watermelons. In the first adventure I had lost many many rounds. I was delving into the state which some may call depression. But when I connected the coconuts I felt alive my state of depression was lifted and the watermelon gods gave the a day in watermelon heaven. I had to get two watermelons in one game. I had tried and tried and then it happened! I had done it! The watermelon count! It was at two! I was so happy that the watermelon gods had let me stay forever in watermelon heaven and now I have 4 watermelon. Now not only do I live in watermelon heaven! I am king of the watermelon gods! None should take my throne! As I sat there watching rocky I recalled the time my cousin had shown me his count and I died! Twenty one thousand and something I forgot. The watermelon gods kicked me out and now I seek revenge on my cousin and all those who dare try to make me there watermelon slave.

Used to love it
Now before I tell you why this is the worst game ever let me first say how this was my favorite game I would always play this when I was bored and had nothing to do but as I was playing I was doing great with six watermelons in one game which is amazing to me so then I got a shaker and shook it really hard and died while they were floating in the air and I only had like four fruits at the time and it said I crossed the line when it was still in the AIR!!! I am so mad because I was really having fun playing too because over all it’s an amazing game but six watermelons is a lot to me and to die over something so stupid like that just makes me furious I hope you find a way to solve it or I am done with this game forever! By the way this game is a great creation and if you could make it better I think it will be the BEST game ever!

Love this game
I’ve been addicted to this game even before all the Suika copycats flooded the app store. Its soo satisfying with the slight vibrations at the dropping fruit, the folk music and soun effects are fun, and I really appreciate the lack of disruptive ads. It really is the game I turn to when I get fed up with the other phone games spamming me with ads every two seconds. :) One thing I want to report is recently in the last two days your “watch an ad to shake the fruit” button is messed up. It’ll bring up a black screen then show the end of the ad then go back to the game with no shaking. Anyway thanks for this app its a lot of fun!
