Aladdin X’s Suika Game — the fruit-stacking sensation that became Nintendo Switch eShop’s most-downloaded game in Japan two years running — just quietly landed on PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, with zero fanfare and no countdown. No marketing blitz, no teaser campaign: you blink, and suddenly it’s there alongside its sequel Suika Game Planet. Both are live right now on the Singapore PS Store for S$3.20 each.
A Switch Smash Hit That Needed a Bigger Stage
If you’ve somehow avoided it until now: Suika Game is a deceptively simple puzzle game where you drop fruit into a box, matching same-sized pieces to merge them into ever-bigger fruit — from a humble cherry all the way up to a towering watermelon. Combine two watermelons and you win. Lose the plot and your box overflows. It sounds like a children’s toy; it plays like a time-eating machine that turns calm adults into fruit philosophers muttering “one more round.”
The game first launched in Japan on Nintendo Switch back in December 2021, then quietly exploded globally when streamers on Twitch and YouTube discovered it in late 2023. Since then it’s racked up over 13 million downloads worldwide across Switch, iOS, and Android — a staggering number for a puzzle game from a small developer. As we reported when the Steam version was first confirmed, the move to PC felt overdue. Turns out the PS5 version was right behind it.
Suika Game Planet — The Sequel Lands at the Same Time
What makes this launch a genuine double-take is that Aladdin X didn’t just port the original — they dropped a sequel the same day. Suika Game Planet had already launched on Switch 2, Switch, iOS, and Android earlier this year; the PS5 and Steam versions arrived simultaneously yesterday as a surprise same-day release.
Planet shakes up the formula in a few meaningful ways. The rectangular box becomes a spherical arena — fruit rolls around the full 360° interior rather than stacking in a fixed column, which opens entirely different line-thinking. A new character named Poppy joins the cast, a Super Evolution bonus awards extra points for satisfying chain merges, and — crucially — there’s now a brief recovery window after a fruit grazes the top edge, so a single fumble doesn’t instantly end your run. It rewards slightly more aggressive play than the original’s nail-biting tension.
What You Get on PS5 — and How Much It Costs in Singapore
Both PS5 versions come with 34 trophies each, including a Platinum — a rare treat for a S$3 game. PlayStation Premium subscribers can also stream either title via cloud gaming, meaning you could be playing Suika Game Planet on a phone browser in under a minute. Controllers work, too, which might actually be the best way to play on a big screen.
Pricing on the Singapore PS Store:
- Suika Game — S$3.20 (Singapore PS Store)
- Suika Game Planet — S$3.20 (Singapore PS Store)
- Suika Game 1&2 – Thank You Set (bundle) — approximately S$6.50, saving you the price of a kopi-o
Both are rated IARC 3+, so they’re genuinely family-friendly. For context, that’s less than the cost of most bubble tea, and both games are among the most stress-testable value plays in the Singapore PS Store right now. If you’ve got kids at home during the school holidays, this is about as safe a bet as games get — and adults who claim they won’t get addicted are usually the first ones still playing at 2am.
