However, a bizarre instant death bug in the official <strong>Suika Game<\/strong> on Nintendo Switch has been gathering attention on Japanese social media this week. Shared on X, the sudden outpouring of fruit has surprised and amused Japanese users. The original poster explained the mechanics behind the bug, while others managed to replicate it successfully.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suika Game is a casual fruit-combining game similar to Tetris. Different types of fruit appear at random at the top of the screen. When two fruits of the same type hit each other, they evolve into successively larger fruits. Players must strategically drop the same types of fruit next to each other in the hopes of getting a chain reaction. The goal is to combine fruits to make the game\u2019s largest fruit, watermelon, while trying to get a high score before the fruits inevitably fill up the box.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>X user <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Bowser1425631\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bowser1425631<\/a> found their box filling up with fruit way too quickly after activating an instant game over bug.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u3053\u306e\u30d0\u30b0\u3084\u3070\u3059\u304e\u308b <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CVzjdPeozb\">pic.twitter.com\/CVzjdPeozb<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u30d0\u30a6 (@Bowscotch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Bowscotch\/status\/1751826462444060916?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 29, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><strong>Post translation:<\/strong> This bug is crazy.\u00a0<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To trigger the bug, the player made a tower consisting of persimmons balanced precariously on top of the game\u2019s two smallest fruits (cherries and strawberries). When this tower reaches the top of the box, the fruit-dropping cloud, called Poppy, starts rapidly firing fruit into the box. Poppy is usually under your control, allowing you to strategically drop fruit so that they combine. A comment on the post explains that this glitch occurs because the player repeatedly presses on the top persimmon on the tower when it changes into an apple, causing the cloud to suddenly drop an entire fruit bowl\u2019s worth.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u30bf\u30ef\u30fc\u3092\u4f5c\u308a1\u756a\u4e0a\u306b\u67ff\u3092\u7f6e\u304f\u3002\u305d\u3057\u3066\u305d\u306e\u67ff\u3092\u30ea\u30f3\u30b4\u306b\u3057\u305f\u77ac\u9593\u306b\u9023\u6253\u3059\u308b\u3068\u305f\u307e\u306b\u3053\u3046\u306a\u308a\u307e\u3059\u7b11<\/p>&mdash; \u30d0\u30a6 (@Bowscotch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Bowscotch\/status\/1751831472305242499?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 29, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em>Post Translation:<\/em><\/strong><em> Make a tower with a persimmon on top.
