Overripe: Fruit Puzzle

Every tile on the board is a peach, ripening one tap at a time — and every tap you take ages the whole board, not just the one you touched. Overripe is a small, tense puzzle about knowing when to act. Tap a matching group to harvest it and score points — but the moment you do, every other fruit on the board ages too. Wait for ripe fruit and it pays off big. Wait one turn too long, and it's gone for good: rotted, worthless, taking up space. THE CATCH Bigger groups don't just score a little more — a group twice the size scores four times the points, so there's real tension between harvesting now for safety and waiting to grow a bigger, riskier patch. Every cell you leave alone keeps ageing while you decide. There's no undo, no power-ups, no way to buy back a bad tap — just you, the board, and the cost of hesitating. In Endless mode, the danger grows with you: the window between "ripe" and "rotten" gets tighter every season, so the strategy that kept you alive early on eventually stops working. Every threshold drop is telegraphed a full turn ahead — losing a fruit should feel like a decision you made, never a surprise. THREE WAYS TO PLAY • Endless — survive as long as you can as the harvest window tightens season after season • Harvest Rush — 90 seconds on the clock. Let the board die and it replants with a time penalty instead of ending your run outright, so the pressure never really lets up • Daily Challenge — the exact same board, for everyone, once a day. Play it, then share your result DESIGNED TO BE READ AT A GLANCE Ripeness is colour-coded across the whole spoilage range, so you can read the board's risk without doing math — turn numbers on or off in Settings depending on how you like to play. Every value stays distinguishable even in greyscale. No energy timers, no rewarded revives, no pay-to-win — ever. One optional purchase removes ads completely.
