Welcome to the first stage of your Papa Pear journey, or as its commonly known ‘the Fruity Forest’. Like with most games the first stage is dedicated to introducing you to all the different elements a game has to offer, and the developers at King are in my opinion experts at this! They manage to demonstrate a little of everything you need to know in a way that sucks you comfortably in!

Level 1 and we meet Papa Pear, the single hit acorns and the ever delicious carrots! And we discover you can only have three Pears on the board at the same time as we try to claim a minimum of 10 000 points.

Level 2 mixes up some berries with the acorns and we realise that these take three hits to remove, you can tell where they are in this cycle by their colour. Again this level is about learning the ropes as you aim for a minimum of 15 000.

Level 3 brings with it Some hot and juicy chilis as we try to aim for a more respectable 18 000 or higher. This level demonstrates why it is not always wise to wipe out all of your carrot pins in the beginning, lose this bottom layer too quickly and you will have nothing to bounce off.

Level 4 lets us meet the super cute and ever handy blueberry squishies. These grape surrounded blue pins are a permanent fixture of the board, they cannot be removed and play a useful role in adding extra bounce to your Papa Pears, learn to use them wisely as you aim to collect 15 000 points!
