Combining some action, some fun and some delicious watermelon, this game can be addictive. Throw the watermelon left and right with your finger, collect the gold and reach the knife, the watermelon will split in half. Congratulations! You have completed the chapter.

These areas are accompanied by bouncing jellies, spinning saws, rubber ducks, conveyor belts, fans, bombs, and more. While these items, which bring the fun to the top, often make the work of the watermelon easier, they can sometimes harm it. (Especially saws and bombs) Use these items logically to complete the challenging levels and run towards the adventure in the next chapter! Or rather, jump like a watermelon! With the gold you collect throughout the game, you can buy glasses, necklaces, false mustaches and many more accessories from the store.
