Watermelon Biden Soda 🍉 🥤

A Suika-style fruit-merging game where every fruit is Biden — the "soda" meme video. Drop fruits into a portrait container, merge identical pairs to evolve them up the chain, and try to make a watermelon — without overflowing the danger line at the top. Each tier is a Biden clip tinted in its fruit's colour; on every merge the Biden springs to life and shouts "soda", pitched to the tier.

It's a re-skin of Watermelon Yee: the embedded WebM clip was swapped for the Biden "soda" clip (VP9 + Opus, 240×240), recoloured per tier with the original fruit sketches layered back on, the merge sound became the clip's own "soda", and the title became Watermelon Biden Soda 🍉 🥤.

How to Play

1. Tap GAME START.
2. Move left/right to aim the fruit hovering at the top.
3. Tap or lift to drop it straight down.
4. Two of the same fruit touching merge into the next tier and score points.
5. Keep merging up to a 🍉 watermelon — the goal!

Notes

• Each fruit is the Biden clip recoloured to that tier's hue ('color' filter), with the original fruit sketch (stem, stripes, etc.) layered on top — the tint is kept because colour + size is how tiers are distinguished.
• Only the just-merged fruit plays the clip. Every fruit on the board shares one <video>, so previously a single merge animated all of them at once. Now each merged fruit gets an animUntil timestamp (~850 ms); during that window it draws from the live clip, while every other fruit draws from a frozen still snapshot. A double-watermelon plays no clip (both fruits vanish — nothing survives to animate).
• The merge sound is the clip's own "soda"; the Next preview shows the upcoming fruit, also a tinted Biden.
• Background music removed for now. The bundled Yee track was dropped; the <audio id="bgm"> element is left with an empty src as a placeholder, and startBgm() no-ops until a src is set.
