1. Swipe: Drag your finger/mouse to connect adjacent matching fruits (horizontal or vertical).
2. Match 3+: Paths must have at least 3 matching fruits to clear.
3. Backtrack: Drag back to your previous cell to undo coordinates mid-swipe.
4. Score: Clearances score quadratically (N² points for N fruits). Longer chains pay off heavily!
5. Gravity: Fruits drop down, but no new fruits refill from the top.
6. Budget: You have exactly 5 swipes. The board locks if you run out of swipes or if no valid moves exist.
💡 Paths can turn corners in any direction (turns, hooks, L-shapes)!
