Suika Game is a Puzzle Game developed and published by Aladdin X, originally released in Japan in December 9, 2021 on the Nintendo Switch.
The game has you drop various kinds of fruit into a box, and making two of the same fruit touch makes them turn into a different fruit, gradually increasing in size. The biggest fruit, and the game's namesake, is the watermelon (suika in Japanese). If the box overflows, it's game over! And that's pretty much all there is to it.
Suika Game started out as a built-in game for the popIn Aladdin digital projector, and the popularity of the game among the projector's customers led the company to make a version for the Switch eShop. The Switch version originally got little attention, until it suddenly got a huge popularity burst after being played by streamers, including from non-Japanese players buying it from the Japanese eShop - which made the company release it for eShops outside of Japan. While at first only playable in Japanese, the game got translations in English, Korean and Chinese a few days later.
Suika Game provides examples of the following tropes:
- Falling Blocks: Fruit blocks that turn into other fruit when two of the same fruit are combined.
- Halloween Episode: The game has an Halloween-themed alternate skin, set in a spooky forest with a purple and orange color scheme, which also replaces the watermelons with pumpkins.
- Untranslated Title: Even after getting an English translation, the game kept its original Japanese title of Suika Game.
- Wreaking Havok: Physics is a big part of the gameplay, as the round fruits will roll around and bounce off each other.
Trivia:
- Colbert Bump: The game was just a small name Japanese only Switch puzzle game until hololive streamers started playing it, leading it to explode in popularity. The popularity managed to get people to use Japanese accounts so they could buy it online. It also led to clones, including multiple hololive-themed ones. The ensuing popularity got Aladdin X to release the game on English markets, although initially with the Japanese language intact (similar to Nintendo Switch online games such as Panel de Pon which retain the original Japanese translation).

MUSYNX (originally released as MUSYNC for mobile platforms) is a Rhythm Game developed by I-Inferno and published by PM Studios. It was originally released as a mobile title for iOS and Android platforms, but later got ported to PlayStation 4, Play Station Vita and Nintendo Switch.
The gameplay consists of four/six (depending on mode) lanes of falling notes that you have to hit at the right moment.
MUSYNX provides examples of the following tropes:
- Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: Different note gradings (Exact/Great/Right/Miss) are shown in different colors. Interestingly, there are two versions of Exact showing just how accurate you are - a more accurate one shows as a lighter cyan-blue for most styles, and a less accurate Exact as a darker blue. Otherwise, the colors are generally green for Great, orange for Right and red for Miss.
- Difficulty Levels: Along with letting you choose between 4 or 6 buttons, the game also lets you play on Easy/EZ or Hard/HD.
- Rank Inflation: The highest score you can get on a song is EX, followed by S. The percentages also go way above 100%.
- Retraux: One of the stage styles is drawn in a pixel-art style and mainly used for chiptune music.
- Stylistic Suck: The stage style used for "viral songs" is in a poorly drawn, choppily animated style, with a toilet paper roll border on the stage select screen.
YMMV:
- Porting Disaster: A number of users have reported issues with the Vita release of the game, including frequent crashes and occasional loss of game data, along with minor bugs and annoyances like longer loading times compared to other versions of the game.

- Doesn't like using specific weapon:
Even for characters who fight a lot, often using a variety of weapons, sometimes there's a certain kind of weapon they will have reservations against using. Maybe they find this weapon in particular to be too (?), or they have bad experiences with it.In the case of Improvised Weapon, they might find it wrong or disrespectful to use a certain item to hurt others. Either way, they will refuse to use a certain weapon, or at least dislike doing so. Note that just being unable to use said weapon isn't enough - their dislike for it must be stated.
When the disliked weapons in question are guns, see Doesn't Like Guns.Compare Heroes Fight Barehanded, for those who prefer not using weapons at all.
Examples:
Video Games
- In Yakuza 5, former baseball player Tatsuo Shinada is against using baseball bats as weapons, thinking it's disrespectful to the sport using bats to hit people. If picking up a bat during a fight while playing as him, he'll instantly pause and put it back down, making it disappear from battle.
—— - Comic Book Cutscene
A video game or other animated media has cutscenes or parts resembling comic/manga pages, with the story told through panels, speech bubbles, sound effects and other comic-esque visuals.A form of Medium Blending. See also Art Shift
Examples:
Video Games
- Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan and Elite Beat Agents introduces each mission and its characters with a short comic, and shows panels on the top screen.
- Gravity Rush starts each chapter off with a series of comic panels, the screen sliding between panels as if reading an actual comic.
Visual Novel
- When it's time to explain how a murder went down in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, this is shown through a series of comic panels, starting with a minigame where you have to place the right panel at the right spots.

YMMV
- Friendly Fandoms: Unsurprisingly, with Chargeman Ken!. Scenes from the episode are often seen in Chargeman Ken mashup/MAD videos - and vice versa.
- Memetic Mutation: Being a Knack show from the 70s, this is more or less a given. Clips from the show are commonly used for mashup and parody videos along with Chargeman Ken clips, or by themselves.
- One-Episode Wonder: Well, for a certain definition of "wonder" - Only one 14-minute pilot episode exists. This hasn't stopped fans from making countless mashups and parodies!
