Enjoy the end of summer with an adult fruit punch filled with fruits from the 'Watermelon Game'. My collaboration cafe: Menu 067

Hello everyone viewing 4Gamer. My name is Tetsuya Onishi, a cooking entertainer. ``My Collaboration Cafe'' is a place where professional chefs seriously prepare dishes that appear in various games, and where they independently examine and present the dishes from a professional perspective. Thank you for your continued support this time.

This time we will introduce "Watermelon Game". This is probably the most popular falling object puzzle game in recent years. I also spent a lot of time playing it. It's a highly addictive game that is hard to put down once you start.


Players drop fruits one by one from any location and stack them up. Fruits roll based on physics calculations, and when fruits of the same type touch each other, they combine and turn into a next-larger fruit.

The game is about repeating this process to make the fruit bigger and aiming to make the watermelon with the highest score. By the way, if the stacked fruits overflow from the box, the game is over. Unlike other falling object games, you can drop fruits at any time you like, but the key point is that you have to carefully consider the location.

I learned about it after seeing all the video streamers playing it, and it seems like it's a game with an interesting history.

Based on a social game distributed in China in 2021 called "Synthetic Watermelon", it was first distributed as a built-in game of the "popIn Aladdin series" (currently Aladdin X series) smart lighting with a projector.

It was popular when it was first released, but in 2023 it became a boom among game commentators and became a hit. It's a pretty interesting flow.

Now, in this game, the fruits will grow in the order of ``Cherry → Strawberry → Grape → Dekopon → Persimmon → Apple → Pear → Peach → Pineapple → Melon → Watermelon''. When I first saw the game, I thought persimmons were mandarin oranges and dekopons were grapefruits, but it seems that's not the case. I think it's a very poor choice.
That's what I thought when I saw this fruit packed in a box. I'm sure the fruit punch containing all these fruits will be delicious. Don't you think it's perfect for summer? I'm going to forget for a moment the emptiness that comes from being alone and have fun.

Real food

I took the opportunity to carve the face as well

Completed. I actually wanted to use all fresh fruit, but I found a perfect can of fruit that contained peaches, pears, grapes, pineapple, and cherries, so I used those. Also, since I couldn't get persimmons and Dekopon, I substituted them with kiwi and oranges. Please understand that this is a temporary issue.

As for the taste, when you add alcohol or cider, the fruit taste stands out more sour than sweet. Be brave and add lots of sugar.

The type of alcohol you choose is up to you, but personally, my first choice is the Brazilian alcohol ``Cachaça.'' Locally, it is a beloved alcoholic beverage that is mixed with various fruits and made into a cocktail called ``Caipirinha''.

We also recommend Cointreau, which has a rich orange scent, and Limoncello, a liqueur with a strong lemon scent. Rum, tequila, white wine, and champagne also go well. If you are concerned about the alcohol content, pour it into a glass and then mix it with soda or cider.

What do you think of this theme? If you find it interesting or have actually tried it, we would be happy if you could post it on SNS with hashtags such as "#My Collaboration Cafe" and "#COCOCORO."


Well then, let's meet again. Did you do it?
