Confitura: Fruit Jam

Fruit falls into a glass jar, and two of a kind become the next one up. Now it plops and hums, and you can shake the jar. One payment, no ads, no tracking.

Drop, merge, make jam.

Confitura is a calm physics game in a glass jar. Slide your finger to aim, let go, and the fruit drops. It rolls, settles and nudges the others aside. When two of the same kind touch, they merge into the next one up: blueberry, raspberry, cherry, strawberry, plum, peach, orange, pomegranate, melon, watermelon. Two watermelons make a finished jar of jam, which goes up on the shelf and leaves room for more.

There is no timer. Nothing falls until you let go, so every drop is yours to think about. When the jar is full and a fruit pokes out of the mouth, the lid tries to close, and the café tells you how many grams of jam you made. One more?

The fruit is alive, quietly. Most of the time their eyes are closed, but now and then one pulls a face: squashed when another fruit lands on it, worried when it pokes out of the jar, delighted when it is born big, a big yawn if you stop to think. Two of a kind may even exchange glances across the jar. Every merge sends up a little flurry of leaves.

A best of the week sits next to your best ever, so there is always something within reach, even if your record is from months ago.

By day it is a sunny café counter; by night the café works the night shift. Confitura follows your phone's light or dark appearance, or you can pin either one from the title screen.

It sounds like a jar of jam: a soft plop for every merge, deeper as the fruit grows, a run of glass notes when a jar is done, and a quiet bed of music underneath. When your own music or podcast is on, the music steps aside and the little sounds stay soft; the silent switch turns it all off.

And you can lend a hand. Knock your phone and the fruit jostles; tilt it and the fruit rolls, like tapping a real jar on the counter. Just don't overdo it: the lid comes down, crooked, and if you keep at it, it snaps shut. On a bus or a plane, turn it off from the title screen.
