Overview

Level 143 says "Make a man heartbroken!" A young man with heart-shaped eyes and a drooling grin hugs a durian, besotted. A glamorous woman in sunglasses stands nearby. The victory line, "Heartbreak always comes suddenly", appears once the man is weeping with a cracked heart on his chest.

• Difficulty: Easy
• Estimated moves: 1

Step-by-Step Solution

1. See his infatuation. The man is gazing at the durian he is hugging with heart-eyes, as if it were a beloved.

1. Open the durian. Crack it open.

1. The stench escapes. Green stench lines rise from the opened fruit — durian famously smells revolting.

1. His heart breaks. The man collapses to his knees, weeping, and the red heart on his chest splits in two.

1. Confirm. The screen says "Heartbreak always comes suddenly" and the level is cleared.

Strategy & Reasoning

This is a pun puzzle. "Heartbroken" sounds like the man is pining over the glamorous woman, and the woman is a deliberate decoy. But the object of his affection is actually the durian he is clutching with heart-eyes.

Durian is famous for its overpowering, disgusting smell. Opening the fruit reveals that his beloved "sweetheart" actually reeks. That sudden disillusionment is the heartbreak: the heart on his chest literally cracks in half.

The woman in the sunglasses does nothing; do not try to break them up. The lesson is to realize the man is in love with the durian, and the way to break his heart is to open it and unleash the smell.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Mistake: involving the woman. She is not the one he loves.
• Mistake: tapping his chest. You cannot break the heart directly.
• Mistake: leaving the durian closed. Open the durian. The stench is what shatters his infatuation and breaks his heart.

Walkthrough Notes

The man hugs a durian with heart-eyes, while the glamorous woman is a decoy. Open the durian; its awful stench shatters his infatuation and breaks the heart on his chest. The victory line "Heartbreak always comes suddenly" confirms it. Compare this with involving the woman: he loves the durian.

Why It Works

The man gazes at the durian with heart-eyes, while the glamorous woman beside him is a decoy. The joke is that his beloved 'sweetheart' is actually a stinky fruit. Open the durian, and the escaping stench shatters his infatuation; the heart on his chest literally cracks. The woman does nothing in the solution. The pun is on heartbreak both emotional and olfactory.

Handy Reminder

Opening the durian is the trigger; do not try to comfort the man or involve the woman. The stench itself breaks his heart.

Quick Recap

The heart on his chest cracks visually the moment the durian opens. Do not delay; the level completes on its own once the stench hits.

Final Note

The surrounding crowd of onlookers watches but does not intervene; the punchline is entirely the durian.
