Suika Game clones are now flooding the E-Shop. Not surprising really. It’s a simple but addicting concept, and the game has done well enough people have noticed and want to copy it. Sushi Shot was a clone that actually is awesome in its own right, and got a Must Play from me on account of switching up the formula. And I’m still playing it to this day. Big Watermelon Match is by Max Interactive Studio, a known and notorious asset flipper. Asset flipping is when a generic game is made up of generic store bought assets and sold at a low cost. I’m certain this is an asset flip of some kind because it only plays with the touch screen, so Big Watermelon Match was created most likely for mobile.
But is Big Watermelon Match any good? Honestly, its pretty bad. The physics are bad, with fruit spinning and moving for no reason at all(or not). Plus, it’s very easy with me getting a watermelon on the second try. Third, its harder to lose, as fruit simply crossing the line isn’t enough, you have to push a fruit completely over to lose. You have to try to lose. All this adds up to an uninteresting Suika clone that just isn’t worth your time or money.
Finally, I’ll end off by sharing this article, which talks about how Suika Game got instantly ripped off on IOS and Android by unscrupulous developers who literally copied the name and assets. While that won’t happen on the E-Shop(Nintendo ain’t that bad yet), instead we get these passionless Suika clones like Big Watermelon Match, which aren’t worth anyone’s time. I’ve also played another bad clone called Sweets Drop, but I don’t feel like wasting energy on reviewing it as I’d say the same thing there as I did here. Skip. Play Suika Game or Sushi Shot instead.
Overall: Big Watermelon Match is a passionless Suika Game clone that just isn’t very good at all.
Verdict: Not Recommended.
