Drop fruit into the basket, match two of the same kind, and watch them grow into a bigger fruit friend. dfruit is a warm, tactile fruit-merging game built around a quick one-finger loop: aim, release, merge, repeat. Every drop uses playful physics, so fruit bounce, roll, settle, and create surprising chain reactions. Play your way: • Classic — keep merging and chase your best score before the basket fills. • Timed Trial — score as much as you can in 90 seconds of active play. • Orchard Run — clear escalating Harvest goals, earn upgrade points, and build your own combination of run-only upgrades. Grow an Orchard Run: • Twenty upgrades, from a roomier basket and bigger drops to powerful scoring combinations • A shop after each completed Harvest, with fruit-value boosts, rotating upgrades, and optional rerolls • Twist Drop, Cider Press, Rumble Seed, and Anyfruit, with three customizable quick-access slots • Escalating watermelon basket clears that award permanent bonuses for the rest of your run • Challenge Harvests with variety, Medium-fruit, and Large-fruit goals and bonus upgrade points • Deeper upgrade levels and new center-merge, paced-merge, and shop-currency strategies • Separate best-Harvest and best-total records Made for a quick break: • A lively orchard Home with gently falling pieces from your selected merge collection • One independent saved game per mode, with Save & Quit and exact Resume • Lifetime Stats with mode filters, active playtime, drops, merges, points, and fruit creation counts • Optional shareable seeds for repeatable challenges in all three modes • Eleven original fruit characters and a readable Fruit Evolution chart • Ten offline achievements, six unlockable merge collections, and four distinctive background rewards • A newly illustrated Moon Garden filled with enchanted plants and woodland friends • Responsive sound and haptics, plus five lo-fi background tracks • VoiceOver, Larger Text, Reduce Motion, and high-contrast danger feedback dfruit works completely offline.
