Plan your drops wisely, manage space, and aim for a high score.

Controls & how it runs

Move the vegetable using your mouse Click or tap to drop it Merge identical vegetables to create bigger ones Don’t let the box overflow Keep merging to reach the Pumpkin

Getting a run going takes exactly one press: Press start, up top, and the game boots inside this page — nothing downloads in the background and no form wants your details before the first jump. The cabinet is drawn for a flexible screen and listens to mouse, keyboard or touch, whichever the game prefers. It reshapes itself for tall and wide screens alike, so phone, tablet and desktop all get the full picture. Given a fullscreen button, use it — scores look better at full size, that's just science.

Pro tips for physics cabinets

• Let go earlier than feels right. Physics cabinets punish the held input: most arcs improve the moment you stop steering and let momentum finish your sentence.
• Use the scenery as a teammate. Walls, ramps and swinging wreckage are free aim correction — a bounce you planned beats a straight line you forced.
• Fail upward on purpose. Drop things, tip things, collapse things: in a physics sandbox the wreckage shows you the rules faster than the tutorial ever will.
