Game overview

Princess Rescue Fruit Connect is a connect-pair board with a rescue story wrapped around it. Two identical fruits clear when you link them, and the board keeps shrinking until the last pair is gone, but a countdown is running the whole time. Because the pairs you clear open the paths for the pairs underneath, the interesting decision is which of two possible matches you take when both are available.

This title is best suited to players who want a timed matching board in short bursts.
