You are a scientific farmer on a planet. The crops you sybay are special and the supply is unstable. That is why you work hard day and night to produce good crops. The process of making the special is simple. Just bump a seed fixed on the board against another moving seed, just like in a game. There is a rule: If two seeds of the same size are bumped against each other, they grow larger, When seeds of different sizes are bumped against each other, the number of small seeds increases. 1. start and initial items:. The first item is a small cherry ball. If you bump into a player while tapping, you can grab the cherry ball. 2. evolution and level up:. When a grabbed cherry and a moving cherry collide, they combine and evolve into a slightly larger grape. 3. Targets: Cherry Cherry → grape → mandarin orange → persimmon → apple → green apple → pineapple → melon → watermelon And, there are 9 levels of ball size! Use your skills and aim for the largest size! It's also brain training because you need ball prediction, strategy, and reflexes to get a high score. 4. Result If a cherry ball hits the box too many times, the box breaks. Let's pay attention to the value of the box. The bigger the ball, the stronger it is. Be careful, the boxes are more fragile! When all boxes are broken, it's tally time! The size and number of balls left in the screen will give you a chance to get a large number of points! The bigger the balls, the bigger the score you get at the end!
