Suika Game on iPhone: is there an official app?
Yes. The official Suika Game by Aladdin X has been on the iPhone App Store since 2024, as a paid app called “Suika Game-Aladdin X”, and since 2025 as Suika Game+ on Apple Arcade. Other fruit-merge apps, Frutelia included, are separate games and not the official one.

The official Suika Game apps on iPhone
Suika Game is made by the Japanese company Aladdin X. It first appeared in April 2021 as a game built into popIn Aladdin projectors, came to Nintendo Switch in Japan in December 2021 and went viral worldwide in 2023 (Wikipedia). On iPhone, as of November 2026, there are three official listings:
| App Store name | What it is | On iPhone since |
|---|---|---|
| Suika Game-Aladdin X | The original game, paid download | January 2024 (Japan), March 2024 (worldwide) |
| Suika Game+ | Apple Arcade edition, no ads or in-app purchases, needs an Arcade subscription | July 2025 |
| Suika Game Planet | A newer entry in the series with a round, 360° stage | March 2026 |
The official site, suikagame.jp, lists the original game on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, the App Store, Google Play, Apple Arcade and Steam. Before the official iPhone version existed, imitations were already on the App Store; Wikipedia reports that one of them reached number one among free casual games in Japan and that Aladdin X asked Apple to remove it.
How to recognise the official app
- Check the developer line. The original is published under Aladdin X (the paid "Suika Game-Aladdin X" app lists XGIMI LIMITED as seller). A different company name means a different game.
- Look for the official links. The official listings point to suikagame.jp and the official accounts in their description.
- Watch the name. "Suika", "watermelon" or "fruit merge" in an app name does not make it official. Many look-alikes put these words in their title.
- Read the in-app purchase list. On the App Store page, the "In-App Purchases" section shows what a game sells. A long list of "remove ads" or weekly passes tells you how the game makes money.
Look-alikes full of ads: what to look for
The drop-and-merge idea is simple to copy, so the App Store has many free watermelon games. Some are good; some are built around ads. Before installing one, check:
- Whether reviews mention an ad after every game.
- Whether there is a "Remove ads" purchase, which means the free version shows them.
- The "App Privacy" section: a game that collects data "used to track you" usually works with ad networks.

If you want the original, get it from Aladdin X. If you want another take on the genre, there are plenty of choices; see games like Suika.
Where Frutelia fits
Frutelia is our own fruit-merge game for iPhone. It is not Suika Game, not a port of it and not endorsed by Aladdin X. It has its own eleven fruits in a glass jar, combos that multiply points (×2, ×3…), coins earned by playing, and two power-ups: Upgrade (50 coins) and Delete (100 coins). It has no ads and no subscription, plays offline, and sells optional coin packs for players who want more power-ups.
