Fruit Pursuit by Dave VanEe has been recently published for the Nintendo Game Boy (Color).

Fruit Pursuit is a match 3 game about collecting fruit in a race to the finish!

There are three game modes available:

• Race: Complete laps by collecting enough of each fruit to advance, competing for a high score.
• Timed: Play for 6 minutes, trying to get the highest score you can in that time.
• Sprint: See how quickly you can reach a score of 200,000.

Match fruit to reach the goal for each lap, while keeping the time bar from running out! Press A to lock the cursor and use the dpad to choose the swap direction.

Every lap will have a shiny fruit, indicated by the “x2” beside it on the right side of the screen (and by 2 stars below it at the start of each lap). Matching the shiny fruit gives double points. When falling fruit leads to additional matches, these are called “passes” and each subsequent pass doubles the points awarded!

Pressing the B button will use a wrench and briefly flash all possible matches. New wrenches are awarded every 100,000 points.

When there are no moves available the grid will clear and a bonus will be awarded.

When the timer runs out the game is over.
