Jarful

**Every jar in the pantry has its own shape, and its own recipe.**

> Drop fruit into the jar. When two of the same kind touch, they merge into the next fruit up: currant to gooseberry, gooseberry to kumquat, and so on up to a pumpkin. Fill the recipe card before you run out of drops or the jar overflows.

> The jars are the puzzle. A plain crock is easy. Then come wooden ledges that catch fruit, a see-saw paddle that tips when it's unbalanced, a narrow neck you have to thread, a trapdoor you open once to drop everything above it, a stirrer that keeps everything moving, bouncy jelly, slippery ice, and honey that is sticky (and sometimes must be kept clean).

> ### What's in the jar

> - **120 levels** on eight shelves, each shelf adding a new kind of jar. Every level has been checked to be winnable without any help.

> - **Recipe cards.** Make a Peach and a Lemon. Clear every ribboned fruit. Reach a score. Some cards add a twist: stay under the fill line, keep the honey clean, or make nothing bigger than a Plum.

> - **Stars for economy.** Finish in few enough drops to earn three stars.

> - **Pantry Shelf.** An endless jar for chasing a high score.

> - **The Daily Jar.** The same jar and the same fruit for everyone, every day. Forty drops. A local best, a streak, and a result you can share.

> - **An original fruit chain** of eleven tiers, each one hand-drawn in code, with faces that blink, squish and worry when the jar gets full.

> - **Helpers you never need.** Shake the jar, pluck a fruit out, or revive after an overflow. Earn them with Seeds. No level requires them.

> - **Made to feel good.** Squishy merges, plucked-string chimes that rise with every tier, a combo arpeggio, and a cozy waltz on nylon guitar.

> - Plays on desktop, tablet and phone, in portrait or landscape. Progress saves automatically.

> ### Controls

> **Mouse or touch:** drag to aim, release to drop. **Keyboard:** A/D or arrows to aim, Space to drop, S to shake, O to open a trapdoor, Esc to pause.
