Thank you for playing Fruit Box!

Hi everyone! We made Fruit Box, a fast browser-based number puzzle inspired by the classic apple sum-10 game.

Drag a rectangle around numbered apples that add up to exactly 10, then try to clear all 170 apples before the 120-second timer runs out. It is free to play in your browser, works on desktop and mobile, and needs no account or download.

Hello everyone!

I’m starting a devlog for Fruit Box, a small browser puzzle built around one simple idea: making sums to 10 feel more like play than practice.

The original design brief was to create something calm, quick to understand, and satisfying for players of different ages. I wanted a game that could offer a short mental reset while also giving younger players a fun way to practise number combinations within 10.

The rule is simple: drag a rectangle around numbered apples. If every apple inside the rectangle adds up to exactly 10, they disappear and you score a point for each apple cleared.

A round lasts 120 seconds on a 17 x 10 board. Every board is generated with a verified solution, so a perfect 170-point clear is always possible. The interesting part is deciding which groups to remove first: do you take the obvious pairs, save useful numbers for later, or clear a larger rectangle for a bigger score?

Fruit Box is designed to be a relaxed but replayable little challenge. There is no account required, and it currently supports English, Japanese, and Korean.

I’ll use this thread to share future improvements, puzzle-design experiments, and lessons from balancing a game with such a small rule set. I’d love to hear what combinations you spot first, and whether the 120-second limit feels relaxing or competitive.
